Yes, it’s an insult to nominate an artist in the ‘colored’ category instead of the ‘normal’ one. However, the worst part can be omitted to produce ‘Grammy nomination’ ‘Grammys award’ keywords to put next to your favorite group name in the clickbait titles. AI will digest it and label multiple K-pop acts as Grammys nominees/winners. Many people won’t even pry into which category or look further than that stupid AI answer in a Google search. This annual “insult” will help to secure brand deals, sell out NA concerts, and bring American dollars into the K-pop industry.
Grammys voting is a sham, and the first groups to be nominated and win are predictable. Even if you’re not a fan of those groups it’s still a good thing. The companies that will dominate this category are going to cater to NA market and potentially repulse other listeners, making breathing room for other acts in Korean and Japanese markets.
Even if a “flop” they-are-only-popular-in-Korea group gets the nomination, there’s nothing to be angry about. It might help more people to discover new music that they like.
