Questions remain regarding K-pop's potential for growth and influence. Will the scene be able to generate artists for the ages similar to the Beatles and Michael Jackson, who both moved from being teen idols to timeless international artists? While that remains to be seen, K-pop artists are certainly reaping the benefits of the genre's current success.

That would be interesting. But k-pop still isn't quite there yet. Their own billboard chart was a pretty big step though.

Once 2NE1 debuts in the U.S, then they can create a grammy category because that album is already certified #1 obviously.

I don't see what's wrong with it. Billboard has a K-pop hot 100 chart that most of us don't even know about.

That wouldn't really matter if it's a k-pop category. It'd most likely never be televised.

Hopefully not.

I think that the music industry is trying to give them room to enter into the music industry. But they kind of ruin it on their own by not promoting correctly over here. And lots of producers are really interested in working with these K-pop groups to bring them here which is kind of sad. I wonder why they even want to entertain the idea of a category tbh.

Yeah there's a lot of categories that are never televised. Sounds like a good idea to me.

I've read the article and it says nothing about a cagetory for K-pop in the future, the OP just made that up. K-pop isn't a genre.
