BTS has confirmed it will not submit its music for the 2027 Grammy Awards, saying music should be appreciated "for what it is" rather than divided by language or region. The announcement comes after the Recording Academy introduced a new Asian Pop Music Performance category. The decision has sparked widespread debate among fans ahead of next year's ceremony.
Bangtan Sonyeondan, popularly called BTS, have made a major decision that has sent shockwaves through the global music industry. Months before the 2027 Grammy Awards, the seven-member K-pop group announced that they will not submit any of their music for consideration, despite releasing a chart-topping comeback album this year.
The move comes shortly after the Recording Academy, who organises the ceremony, introduced a brand-new Grammy category dedicated to Asian pop music, sparking fresh conversations about how global artists should be recognised.
