BTS<\/a> have withdrawn their music from next year\u2019s Grammy Awards. The seven-member K-pop group\u2014RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, V, Jungkook, Jimin\u2014all shared the same statement on their personal Instagrams on Wednesday, noting that they \u201chave decided not to submit for Grammy consideration this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope our music can be heard and loved for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language. We thank Army and everyone who has always stood by us,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes a month after the Recording Academy announced<\/a> the first Best Asian Pop Music Performance category, part of a slate of five new nominations meant to take effect during the 69th Grammys on February 7, 2027.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis category recognizes artistic excellence in Asian pop music performances originating from or widely recognized within Asian markets, including but not limited to K-pop, J-pop and C-pop, with meaningful use of one or more Asian languages. Awards are presented to the performing artist(s),\u201d the new category reads.<\/p>\n

BTS have been nominated for four Grammys since they became the first K-pop band to receive a nod at the ceremony in 2019. They have never won.<\/p>\n

The band is not the first to withdraw their work from the Grammys in recent years. After not receiving any nominations in 2021, the Weekend boycotted the Grammys<\/a> (he eventually changed his mind<\/a>). Drake did the same the following year<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BTS have withdrawn their music from next year\u2019s Grammy Awards.
