He added, “This marks the first time a K-pop composer or producer has won a Grammy Award. We extend our warmest congratulations on this precious achievement, earned on the world’s most prestigious stage that every musician dreams of.

Although they did not take home the award, we also send our applause to BLACKPINK’s Rosé and KATSEYE’s Jeong Yoon Chae, who clearly demonstrated their global competitiveness by being nominated.

We will continue to provide strong support so that our artists can showcase their talents on even larger stages. Above all, today's achievement was possible thanks to the hard work of the production team and staff members behind the scenes. You are all the pride of the Republic of Korea.”

Previously, ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ original soundtrack “Golden” was announced the winner of “Best Song Written for Visual Media” at the 68th Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony held on February 1 (local time) in Los Angeles.
