¡°The Grammys started in America, where racism is deeply rooted,¡± Professor
Lee Hyun-song said. There are two main ways to solve this right now. The first
¨ÏFilmdaily
is to change the racist term to another. A movement to replace the expression
¡°urban music,¡± which used to refer only to black music, with other terms has
recently occurred in the American pop music world. The word ¡°urban¡± does not
recognize black artists as mainstream American music, but instead separates and
underestimates them as only black culture. Accordingly, the Recording Academy
renamed the best urban contemporary album category, which was the black music
category, to the best progressive R&B album category starting with the 2021
News
GrammyAwards.

However, even though the racist term was changed, additional solutions are
needed to solve the discriminatory award issues. In response, Professor Lee Ji-
young said that if BTS wins the 2021 Grammy Awards, the controversy about
racism in the Grammys can be quenched. According to her, ¡°As the proportion
of BTS in the American pop music has gradually increased, their musicality and
Republica
commercialitycannotbeignored.IntheU.S.,criticismtowardtheGrammys,which
did not recognize BTS, has increased. Perhaps because of the voice of the public,
the Grammys invited BTS as an award presenter in 2019 and as a featured singer
¨ÏLa
in 2020. The ratings of the Grammy Awards have been decreasing, but these two

¡°In addition, when the public in the U.S. began to criticize the Grammys, BTS
was finally nominated for the 2021 Grammy Awards after not being nominated
in previous years. This nomination was a big change in the Grammys. However,

Grammys select the winners by reflecting the votes of thousands of experts in the music industry. In addition, only the
