For anyone confused – these are the categories their label submitted them in to be CONSIDERED for a nomination. It’s very exciting!! But also highly unlikely anything will come of it. The Grammy noms are MOSTLY based on gp popularity and radio play, and still HIGHLY xenophobic. https://t.co/D6y3YcqLZ8

Y'all need to ask yourselves why you're so offended at Kpop artists submitting their work for Grammys? Do you think their work is lesser than?

the only kpop groups this year that actually deserve to be nominated at the grammys are bts (as a group and soloists), blackpink, stray kids and newjeans, fifty fifty could be debatable too, but apart from them NO other group made as much noise globally as they did in korea. pic.twitter.com/gqthyKrXpi

Kpop fans act like the Grammys is some holy grail and it's very confusing to me because y'all point out the Grammys being racist every year but still value it so highly?

Kpop stans : how dare twice submitted for Grammys 🙄 https://t.co/ezYwACraR5

do you know how many artists actually submit their work to the grammys? and the majority of them do not have chances of winning or are mainstream popular. kpop groups have their us labels now, it just makes sense for them to do it https://t.co/eOCAimF6ZS

im still wheezing bc there are actual kpop stans out there that think that their flop kpop groups submitting their works for Consideration automatically means the Grammys will be considering them or nominating them lmao

What do you think? Do these K-Pop artists stand a chance of garnering a nomination, or are they just as delulu as their fans?
