K-pop sensation BTS nominated for the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at this year’s Grammy Awards will become the first Korean act to perform on the big music night next week, raising expectations for their gracing the occasion with the gramophone in each hand.

According to the Recording Academy, the organizer of the awards ceremony, on Monday, the South Korean septet was among 22 artists lined up to perform at the 63rd Grammys, aired live from the Los Angeles Convention Center on March 14 at 8.00 p.m.

BTS will be performing along with Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Harry Styles, and Cardi B, among others.

But this year, it will perform solo as nominee to the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for their Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single Dynamite.
