HYBE is the only Kpop company to put out a press release bragging about its artists being nominated to join the Recording Academy. And given the sheer number of Grammys that members have to vote on (there were 94 categories in 2025), some of the nominees may not join.

The US has a better song called Dirty Work that most people are familiar with. Non-Kpop fans will play Aespa, thinking it's a cover, then not listen again.

Seriously, TNX has the music and visuals to go all the way. Unfortunately, they're the first group by a novice CEO, so they're still obscure.

I prefer deeper voices all round. Therefore, since no company is going to promote someone who sounds like Yuqi or Jessi as a main vocalist even if I wish they would, I had to vote for boy groups.

Blackpink

I'd like to see them become the most popular group in the unemployment lines of three different countries.

NOISE!!!!!!

You made a spelling error. I corrected it for you.

Quote from Prongs

You have to be at least more than 10 years in industry and still manage to be on top to be called legendary. And you have to be loved by public,known by non kpop fans, and your works are timeless. Only IU has reached that level in Korea.

If you consider Psy as Kpop, he qualifies as well.

As far as the original question, the songs are legendary; the group, no.

Quote from WhyKnock

I do not see any international celebrity's name

If they deign to attend, they'll be at the international dates.

Quote from BIGnorBANG

Huh?! 👀

Psy signed a contract for non-Korea and Japan territories with Schoolboy Records (Scooter’s label) in 2012 at the height of Gangnam Style. The only thing that came of that was a hangover.

I’m for anything that ends Psy’s contract with Scooter’s label.

If we’re lucky, it means some enterprising label will promote another band.

Quote from StanGIDLE

I don't disagree because I was underwhelmed by the choreography. I see them possibly winning dance because of hype. I am unsure how rap works but I can possibly see them winning it for the hype.

I think they have best new artist awards locked up though

The only way they could win a Best New Artist award is if the award organizers merge the awards. For example, MAMA merged the awards in 2014 because AKMU, but they still lost to Winner.

You would've loved this group

They had one of the saddest ending stories: they disbanded because one of them was diagnosed with encephalitis.

Not at a convenience store

Actually, I did see individual condoms at convenience stores last time I was in Seoul.

I'm still disappointed that Psy has gone in with both feet into creating idol groups. I'd hoped that P Nation would remain a home for non-idols or those who went solo, as that's probably more profitable than having a full-scale training system.

Let's go for 2000!

P Nation debuting idol groups.

Yuqi and Jessi.

Spica and Purfles.

not that goblin

She's currently winning.
