Will a K-pop act or member be nominated in any of the four general categories at the 69th Grammys?

BTS refused to submit Arirang in protest at the new Best Asian Pop category, which takes the obvious candidate off the table. Rosé was a Record and Song of the Year nominee last year with 'APT.', and Jennie features on the 'Dracula' remix.

Resolves YES if any member of a K-pop group, or any K-pop group, is listed as a nominee in Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year or Best New Artist, including as a featured artist on a nominated recording.

Source: the official nominations list for the 69th Annual Grammy Awards published by the Recording Academy on grammy.com on 16 November 2026. Titles match regardless of capitalisation or stylisation; a nominee later withdrawn or corrected still counts as nominated.

Closes at 23:59 UTC on Sunday 15 November 2026. The nominations livestream starts at 7:45 a.m. ET on Monday 16 November and the full list follows on grammy.com; if the list is published before the close, trading stops at publication.

If the Recording Academy has not published the 69th nominations by 30 November 2026, voids and refunds.
