Opinions differ on why K-pop artists didnt make the cut.
Since BTS and BLACKPINK had no qualifying releases, no submissions were made for them as complete groups.
Some, however, argue that K-pops lack of representation is indicative of a broader issue.
Were actively inviting people from diverse backgrounds and genres to participate in the Academy.
Without accurate representation, we cant achieve the right results.
We aim to reflect and represent whats happening in todays music landscape.
Artists and producers should look to expand their reach internationally, following BTSs example.
