A Victory for 'Golden' Gives K-Pop Its First Ever Grammy Win

It's not the Idol Awards, but the Grammys ain't bad. "Golden," the anthemic smash hit from Kpop Demon Hunters, has become the first ever K-Pop song to win a Grammy Award. Performed by EJAE (who also co-wrote the song), Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami, aka Huntr/x, it won Best Song Written for Visual Media. It was also nominated in three other categories, including Song of the Year. (Alas, Billie Eilish.) Still, things are looking pretty "Golden" for the Oscars next month...

"All these years, that has been my goal. As a writer, I’ve tried hard to tell the stories of my people and others who have fled their homes in search of safety and a future, and now all these years later, I find myself wondering if I still have a home here in Minnesota, in America, in the world of the people who get to decide who is valuable and who is not, who belongs and who does not, who lives and who dies."

Bruno Mars won all the Grammys

Including Album of the Year, Record of the Year and Song of the Year.



There must have been some 24 karat magic in the air.

Bruno Mars was the big winner Sunday night at the 60th annual Grammy Awards, sweeping the major categories and picking up seven wins, including the coveted Album of the Year and Record of the Year.

The Filipino American music-multi-hyphenate also cleaned up in four other categories, picking up trophies for Song of the Year, Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song for "That's What I Like," and Best R&B Album for 24K Magic. Throw in the Grammy for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical, and Mr. Mars officially walked away from the proceedings as the year's most decorated artist.

Bruno also rocked a rousing Cross-Colours-soaked, 1990s-inspired live performance of "Finesse" with Cardi B, complete with retro dance moves. The only thing missing were the Fly Girls.
