K-pop girl group AESPA has become the hot topic of discussion ever since they entered the race for the Best New Artist category for the 2026 Grammy Awards. However, this part of the news has not been met with a positive reaction, and netizens are debating about it on social media.
Netizens' reaction to AESPA's name submission in the 2026 Grammy Awards nomination
Netizens praised their agency, SM Entertainment, for being encouraging and trying their best for the groups to soar higher and become global. But, with the tag of new artist, it is bothering netizens, and many took to social media platforms to express their views.
One user wrote, "Their fans think we're mad, lmfao. We're just shocked & amazed that they dare to submit to the Grammys with 0 Hot 100 entries & 0 global impact, thinking it's an Inkigayo or mama award show. I expected katseye, but aespa? The Grammys are not under sm and Kakao".
