The 2025 Grammy Award nominations have dropped, and once again, K-pop fans are left shaking their heads in disbelief. Despite the global dominance of the genre and the extraordinary achievements of artists like BTS members Jimin and Jung Kook, K-pop has been conspicuously absent from major Grammy categories this year. For years, fans have called for K-pop’s recognition at the prestigious music awards, especially given the genre’s global influence and chart-topping success.
But as the list of Grammy nominations rolled out for 2025, one glaring absence was clear: no K-pop artists were nominated for major awards. This has sparked widespread outrage across social media, with fans and critics alike questioning the Grammys’ continuing disregard for K-pop. Jimin, one of the most popular members of BTS, achieved a monumental feat this year with his solo single, Like Crazy .
The track not only shattered records but also became a global sensation, breaking numerous streaming and chart records. From topping the Billboard Hot 100 to becoming the first solo K-pop artist to earn a platinum certification from the RIAA, Like Crazy was a monumental success. Yet, despite this massive commercial achievement, it was completely shut out of the Grammy nominations for 2025.
