JAKARTA - The announcement of the 2026 Grammy Awards nomination by The Recording Academy leaves a historic moment for the K-pop industry.
Rosé BLACKPINK is listed as the first K-pop artist to break into two of the four main categories, Record of the Year and Song of the Year, through its collaboration with Bruno Mars, "APT."
In addition, the song, which was released in October 2024, also won a nomination in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category.
An unprecedented achievement. However, behind the spotlight, Rosé actually shared a personal and stressful moment before his name was announced, showing the human side of a big star who is anxiously anxious.
Through uploads on Instagram, BLACKPINK members shared a short clip recording seconds before the announcement of the nomination in the Record of the Year category.
In the video, Rosé appears to be following a live broadcast of the announcement via group video calling (FaceTime) with a number of colleagues. He couldn't hide his anxious expressions when the names began to be read.
"Aren't we going to get it?" Rosé said sarcastically in a nervous tone.
Moments later, his concern peaked. While hiding the face behind his fist, he had given up if the song was not nominated.
"Well, maybe we won't get it," he said.
