This week on Stanning BTS, Kayla and Bethany another look at the Grammys’ controversial Best Asian Pop category and Harvey Mason Jr.'s latest comments suggesting the Academy is reconsidering its approach. They discuss why creating separate categories based on region and genre may not be the equity Asian artists are asking for, and how BTS’s history with the Grammys fits into the bigger picture. Plus, they debate whether the Grammys still hold the same weight for K-pop artists, and whether BTS has already outgrown the need for their validation.
