This year, BTS Jimin, Jungkook, J-Hope, RM, Fifty Fifty, Tomorrow by Together (TXT), and Twice participated in this category.
BTS had been nominated for three consecutive years from 2020 to 2022, and their fans were hopeful that they would finally take home a Grammy in this category this year. However, those hopes were dashed when the nominations were announced on November 10, 2023.
The Grammys are an awards ceremony held annually since 1959 by the Recording Academy, an organization of music experts including singers, producers, recording engineers, and critics. Winners are selected through members’ votes, with a focus on musicality and workmanship rather than commercial achievements such as chart performance or album sales.
The Grammy Awards will be held on February 4, 2024, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
