With less than a week to go before the Grammys, music-lovers across the globe are getting anxious with excitement.
Last-minute performers are being announced left, right and centre, with many fans still crossing their fingers to see or hear some of their favourite musicians.
Fortunately for K-Pop fans, the world-renowned boy band, BTS — according to Variety — are set to present an award at this year’s Grammy Awards Ceremony.

Fittingly, BTS’ third Korean-spoken studio album, Love Yourself: Tear was nominated for a Grammy this year.
Technically this is BTS’ first shot at a Grammy Award. However, unfortunately for the boys, the nod was received for ‘Best Recording Package,’ which means the award would go to their art director, Doohee Lee.
The nomination is a credit to the original packaging and unique aesthetic used on physical versions of the critically-acclaimed album.
Here are the ‘Best Recording Package’ nominees
Be The Cowboy — Mitski
Love Yourself: Tear — BTS
Masseduction — St. Vincent
The Offering — The Chairman
Well Kept Thing — Foxhole
As of this writing, it is unclear which award BTS will present. They are not currently scheduled to perform at the event either.
