Rosé’s single “APT.” and the Netflix animated soundtrack “Golden” from K-Pop Demon Hunters were nominated in major Grammy (Recording Academy) general-field categories, marking a series of K-pop firsts. Rosé—featuring Bruno Mars on “APT.”—earned nominations for Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance; she is the first K-pop artist and first K-pop female artist nominated in a general-field category. “Golden,” sung by Korean-American artists Lee Jae, Audrey Nuna (Audrey Nuna is an artist name), and Rey Ami, received nominations for Song of the Year, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, Best Song Written for Visual Media, and Best Remixed Recording (David Guetta remix), plus the soundtrack’s nomination for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media, totaling five nods. Other nominations include HYBE’s US–Korean girl group Cattz Eye (Best New Artist, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance) and the musical Maybe Happy Ending (Best Musical Theater Album). The Grammys, run by the Recording Academy since 1959, prioritize artistic achievement, so these nominations represent significant recognition for K-pop on the global stage.
