In November, the Recording Academy made history by recognizing a K-pop girl group with a nomination for the first time. It just so happened that particular girl group was fictional.

HUNTR/X — the trio of animated K-pop idols Rumi, Mira and Zoey, voiced by human artists EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI, respectively — notched Grammy nods for song of the year and best pop duo/group performance, among other nominations in film-focused categories. As Nuna told Billboard at the time of the group’s nods: “I think we’re just very, very, very grateful to be a part of what feels like a very cultural and historic moment.”
