At COKODIVE, we’ve had the privilege of watching BTS grow for years. We’ve seen them rise from a promising group to global icons who reshaped what was thought possible for Korean artists.
Their decision not to submit music for GRAMMY consideration this year feels bigger than an awards season. Sometimes, choosing not to participate says more than any speech ever could.
Legacy is defined by the barriers you break, the doors you open, and the millions of people you inspire. BTS have already done all of that, and history will remember it all 💜
THE MOST ICONIC PHRASE ON MUSIC INDUSTRY
“We hope music will be recognized and loved for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language”
#WeStandWithBTS
Army fue el primer fandom en levantar la voz ante ese acto de racismo y xenofobia y ahora BTS es el primer Artista asiático en negarse a participar en ese circo de xenofobia, siempre de la mano
#BTS has decided to skip next year's Grammys despite 2027 being projected as their Big winning year:
“We have decided not to submit for Grammys this year. Rather than music being divided by region or language, we hope music itself can be heard and loved for what it is. We are always grateful to ARMY and everyone who is always with us.” 👏🐐👑💜
Multiple major news outlets including Forbes, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, BBC and The Independent have reached out to the Recording Academy for comment following BTS' decision not to submit their music for this year's GRAMMYs.
