Rosé did not win for 'A.P.T', but her chances for main categories remain high.
The Grammy Awards are elevating K-Pop's global presence.
On February 1, 2026, the OST 'Golden' from the Netflix animated series 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' won the award for songwriting at the 68th Grammy Awards. The song was selected for the 'Best Song Written for Visual Media' category, recognizing exceptional songs created for visual media, with contributors including EJAE, Teddy, 24, and the producing team, IDIO. This marks the first time a K-Pop composer has received a Grammy, highlighting a significant milestone in the history of K-Pop.
The win for 'Golden' at this year's Grammys serves as a testament to K-Pop's increasing global presence. The dual-language songwriting illustrates K-Pop's potential for international acceptance, laying important groundwork for artists aiming to reach a global audience. This moment underscores the necessity for K-Pop artists to exhibit versatility in a competitive music landscape.
Despite Rosé's failure to secure the Grammy with 'A.P.T', her collaboration with Bruno Mars highlighted her talent. Although she missed the award to other contenders, this reflects the ongoing challenge K-Pop artists face in competing against diverse genres.
Ultimately, with 'A.P.T' nominated for prestigious categories like 'Song of the Year' and 'Record of the Year', Rosé remains poised for future success, raising anticipation for her upcoming projects and performances.
