As for the soloist, BTS Jungkook was mentioned for its inclusion in Usher’s Coming home as the album nominated for “Best R&B” includes the remix of “Standing Next To You.”

Fans of THE DOORS they also wondered how the group didn’t get a nomination, especially after their appearance and presence at the Grammy Museum.
Jungkook is the most ripped off artist in the music industry, last year Seven and this year SNTY. Am I so crazy that I made gold and broke so many records, thriving everywhere even after a year of release and you tell me it got no nominations? Fuck you, Grammy

I’m angry but I’m also not surprised that this isn’t the first time the Grammys have used a K-pop group for their own interests. Snubbed ateez? after all the articles published by the Grammys themselves? the Grammy museum? all this so that Atiny talks about the Grammys.

How do these grammar voters choose who to nominate? do they choose the same artist every year, do they also listen to some considerations presented or do they simply choose the artist they prefer? pic.twitter.com/gnrRdTko0y

On the other hand, some fans shouted Grammys for racism and xenophobia in its selection process.

Jungkook not getting any nominations just shows how shitty, biased, racist and unfair grammar it is as if Golden was one of the best albums out there and seven broke all records and not even a single nomination??? He really got robbed! Grammy doesn’t deserve this man’s talent anyway

The Grammys are a joke at this point. Jungkook has been a huge success. Lisa has eclipsed many of the nominated artists. Both artists had success back to back but no nominations. Exactly what is the Grammy looking for in the nomination??? Being a white man?

BTS remains the only group to have received direct nominations for their work, for a total of five nominations in three years.
