BTS Rejects Grammy Submission Over New Asian Pop Category
The seven members of BTS announced in Seoul on August 2 that they will not submit their 2026 album Arirang for the 2027 Grammy Awards, citing concerns over the newly introduced Best Asian Pop Music Performance category, while the Recording Academy defended the award. The group first made the decision public on July 29 via Instagram, saying the regional and language-based categorisation conflicted with their artistic vision. Recording Academy chief Harvey Mason Jr.
later commented, emphasizing that the new category was intended to recognize Asian pop talent. The Academy unveiled the category in early July, prompting BTS’s refusal to enter the competition.
