Double hags' eight-year old question has finally been answered by lazy unnies, after Is Sana Gay unnie broke up with Pick Me-yeon.

For those who don't know, the Grammys have officially added a new category for "Best Asian Pop Music Performance" for next year. This includes K-Pop, J-Pop and C-Pop songs. Here are the official rules, as posted on website –

> BEST ASIAN POP MUSIC PERFORMANCE (FOR SINGLES OR TRACKS – VOCAL ONLY)

> This category recognizes artistic excellence in Asian pop music performances. Eligible recordings include contemporary popular music originating from or widely recognized within Asian markets, including K-Pop, J-Pop, and C-Pop.

> Asian pop is a distinct and globally recognized form of popular music characterized by its integrated approach to music, performance, and presentation. Eligible recordings typically feature melody-driven composition, mainstream pop songwriting, and commercially oriented production, as recognized within their respective markets, and may incorporate elements of pop-adjacent styles such as pop-rock, pop R&B, and other related forms. Recordings in this category are often characterized by genre-blending arrangements, layered production, and dynamic structural shifts designed to support both audio and performance-based delivery.

> Recordings must feature meaningful use of one or more Asian languages. An Asian language should play a significant role within the song in bilingual or multilingual structures such that the recording is identifiable with that language. Recordings performed entirely in an Asian language are eligible. Incidental or minimal use (e.g., isolated words, adlibs, or brief phrases) does not qualify. Recordings performed entirely in English are not eligible in this category and remain eligible in other appropriate categories.

> The musical style is determinative of eligibility, not the ethnicity or nationality of the performer(s). Other popular music forms which originate in Asia or the Asian diaspora but do not meet the genre criteria for this category are eligible in other categories as appropriate.Only one version of a recording is eligible in a performance category in any year. A recording which is eligible and entered in another performance category is not also eligible in Best Asian Pop Music Performance for a different version featuring an Asian language performance.

> Nominees are Artist(s). Grammy statuettes awarded to Artist(s).

Keep in mind, English songs are not eligible in this category. The eligibility period is from August 31, 2025 to August 28, 2026.

I personally think Hwasa has a high chance of getting a nomination and maybe even a win. Good Goodbye was HUGE in Korea.

Chin🦆 who is this nugu soloist who promoted their song in our sacred music show? Are they trying to plagiarize colourcolour unnies?

Results tomorrow. 😭 I'm getting traumatic flashbacks from the day before the first exam when everyone was wishing best of luck in this sub. Best of luck y'all 🕊️
