BTS to present at the 2019 Grammy Awards

Rejoice, as now the world’s most favourite boy band BTS is set to turn presenters for the 2019 Grammy Awards. 

The K-pop boy band that gained prominence for their different-sounding music are also up for one Grammy this year, however, it’s not a direct one. They have been nominated for Best recording package (that is, artwork) for their ‘Love Yourself: Tear’ album. In this, they are nominated alongside Seoul-based branding outfit HuskyFox.
