Javier Paniagua, composer, producer & Grammy voting member, supports BTS's decision to skip the 2027 Grammys.
He said "BTS is the most relevant pop group and artist in the world today, and shouldn't be placed in a separate category based on their origin and language."

BTS delivers a powerful performance of “ALIENS” at MetLife Stadium, with the crowd singing every word so loudly.
— The song is gaining a lot of attention following BTS' decision not to submit their music for Grammy consideration this year after the Recording Academy introduced the new “Best Asian Pop Music Performance” category.
— It confronts xenophobia, challenges prejudice in the Western music industry, and embraces their identity as cultural outsiders on the global stage.
