Global powerhouseĀ BTSĀ has announced that they will not be submitting for consideration at the 2027 Grammy Awards. The seven-member K-pop group announced their decision in a coordinated Instagram story Wednesday local Korean time. āWe have decided not to submit to the Grammys this year,ā a translation of the message reads. āI hope thatĀ musicĀ can be heard and loved for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language,ā the message continues. āThank you to ARMY and everyone who is always with us.ā BTSā decision comes just a little over a month after the introduction of a new category for the 2027 Grammy Awards, the Asian pop music performance category. The addition has received mixed reactions in K-pop spaces online, but BTS is the first artist to announce theyāre going to sit out of the awards. The group membersā choice to specify both region and language is relevant, as the category specifics that the songs entered music include āmeaningful useā of any Asian language. BTS, in the midst a banner comeback year, was an obvious frontrunner for the new category and have been nominated in other Grammy categories in years past. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/music/music-news/bts-not-submitting-2027-grammy-awards-1236658864/ Edited July 29 by TaylorSwift Vote for me: https://www.grammy.com/vote/taylor-swift Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they just wanted to include K-POP which is a huge genre and is not usually supported by most Grammy votersā¦ And then the thinking was - what about J-Pop, and other asian countries? Letās include them too there! And it resulted in this somewhat cringe āAsian Pop Performanceā category 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grammys create these foreign language categories or expand them every time non-american/traditional western rock & pop acts don't win. Look at them expanding Latin categories after Bad Bunny won big The gays know how to party 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT: The one good thing coming from this is that BTS fans won't wish awful things to artists that won over BTS. I unfortunately remember BTS fans wishing for Gaga to be raped again and for Ariana to be bombed after ROM won over some BTS song... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its seperate but not equal.Ā And its done to deliberately prevent these acts having a chance in the unfiltered mainstream categories.
