BTS member Min Yoongi called the Grammys a `local thing` in a recent interview
BTS fans who have been following the K-pop group for a while, know that Min Yoongi (stage name Suga) always harboured dreams of winning a Grammy award. He started mentioning that as part of his dreams in interviews to foreign media way back in 2018. BTS as a group has been nominated at the prestigious music awards five times - they were the first South Korean act to be nominated at all. But the group is yet to win a trophy, leading to disappointments for the group each time.
In a recent interview with LA Times, amid his D-Day world tour, Suga, who also makes music under the alter ego Agust D, jokingly referred to the Grammys as `local`. "Isn`t that a local thing?" he joked during the interview, echoing South Korean director Bong Joon Ho`s quip about the Oscars. Bong Joon Ho`s Parasite won an Oscar in 2020. The director had described the Oscars as "very local" when asked if he thought it odd no South Korean film has ever been nominated for an Oscar before.
