At home during the epidemic, BTS produced “Dynamite” and released the song to their estranged fans as a gift. Now, the gift has returned to him – as his first Grammy nomination.
“In an interview this week with the Associated Press, Jin said,” A lot of people were depressed and out of place because of the COVID situation and it was our suggestion to make everyone like it.
He said, ‘We were going to tour the entire stadium all over the world. There was no plan to release a single, like ‘Dynamite’. “‘Dynamite’ brought us a huge success in Korea, of course, the Grammy Award nomination of 2021, a performance, you know, life is really interesting.”
“Dynamite” became BTS’s first No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, when it was released last year. After years of selling Top 40 hits and arenas and stadiums, the seven-member collective is competing for the best pop duo / group performance and will also perform on Sunday’s show.
BTS is the first K-pop act to compete in Grams.
“It’s really hard to express in words,” Jamin said of the nomination. “We still can’t believe that we were nominated, and we will be able to perform in Gramizi. So, we are grateful. We are honored.”
BTS’s explosive hit No. 1 Smash – Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande’s “Rain on Me” – will also battle top 10 successes such as Taylor Swift and Bon Ivar’s “Exile” and Justin Bieber and Quavo’s “Intentions”. Jay Bulwyn, Bad Bunny and Dua Lipa’s “Un Dia (One Day)”, which topped the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart, is rounded to five nominees.
“I always hear ‘rain on me’.” It is great to hear that song on the treadmill. It was a hit. There was a fire last year. “And, of course, ‘Intention,’ ‘Exile’ was insane. And Jay Bulvin and Dua Lipa.”
“We’re nervous and really, frankly, we’re not expecting (to win) that we don’t want to be disappointed because of the big names (nominees) of Lady Gaga, Taylor, Bieber. So, we’re Kind of confusing. It’s like a rollercoaster – front and back, front and back, up and down. “
Her Grammy performance will be marked by her second place in the major awards show – she sang “Old Town Road” last year when she assisted Lil Ness X. Sunday’s performance comes after the recent broadcast of “MTV Unplugged Present: BTS”, featuring BTS covering Coldplay’s popular rock ballad, “Fix You.”
In a tweet – in Korean – Coldplay called BTS’s rendering “beautiful”.
“Coldplay came to Korea about three years ago for a big concert and me and J-Hope went to their concert and we saw ‘Fix You’ at the time and that meant so much,” RM recalled. “Hopefully, we can work with them, or maybe have a meeting and drink some tea or coffee or whatever. We like Coldplay a lot. “
IFPI, an organization representing the global recording industry, said last week that the BTS was the best-selling act of 2020.
The band is currently working on new music – as a group and soloists. He said that the Grammy nomination creates some pressure for the next batch of songs, but they don’t let success come to their head.
“We try to stay down on earth and put our feet on the ground and do what we do,” said RM.
