How K-pop group BTS made history at 2019 Grammy Awards
The seven-member Korean group made history with its first nomination for best album package and its appearance at the US music awards ceremony
K-pop boy band BTS has set another record with its first-ever appearance at the 2019 Grammy Awards.
While the seven-member group did not win an award – after being nominated for best album package – it made history as the first-ever Korean act to make an appearance at the global music awards ceremony on Sunday night (US time).
“Love Yourself: Tear” was one of five albums nominated in the best recording package category.
The other nominees were “Be the Cowboy” by Mitski, “Masseducation” by St Vincent, “The Offering” by The Chairman and “Well Kept Thing” by Foxhole, with “Masseducation” taking home the prize.
BTS’ album “Love Yourself: Tear” also made K-pop history with its first Grammy nomination.
The group’s first chart-topping album was released last May.
BTS’ latest album, “Love Yourself: Answer”, has been on the main Billboard 200 album list for 23 straight weeks.
