Critic Lim praises BTS' decision to skip this year's GRAMMY submissions:

— “The fact that a single Asian artist has rebelled against a massive awards ceremony and opened a forum for public discourse demanding change demonstrates immense influence in itself.”

[BTS Charts & News @btschartsxdaily]

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”

Forbes about BTS and Grammys, 2019:

"But as BTS continue smashing records and the Grammys continue to lose relevance, who really needs who?"

[Pop Core @TheePopCore]

BTS' "Aliens" reaches a new peak of #1 on the US iTunes Songs Chart.

— The song confronts xenophobia, challenges prejudice within the Western music industry, and embraces BTS' identity as cultural outsiders on the global music scene.

BTS will not submit music for consideration at next year’s Grammy Awards, members of the K-pop supergroup announced, a little over a month after the Recording Academy confirmed that the 2027 ceremony will include an Asian pop music performance category for the first time. https://t.co/XMBE6NjpOi

🐨"I don’t know if that’s right … It just feels like we’re easy targets because we’re a boy band, a K-pop act, and we have this high fan loyalty.”

[Teen Vogue] #BTS Decided Not to Submit ‘Arirang’ to Grammys 2027 After New Best Asian Music Category

It can be seen as part of a history of gatekeeping non-white artists from major award categories.
The Grammys creating new categories is nothing new, but increasingly the motives behind those inclusions seem to raise more questions than celebrations. For decades, Latin artists have been relegated to accolades only from the Latin Grammys, and while those awards have value and merit, it's odd to to have most of these artists' impact reduced to a relatively “local” market despite accounting for more than a quarter of all listening worldwide on platforms like Spotify.

"Creating new avenues and accolades to recognize talent from all corners of the world is not something to be diminished and should always be celebrated, but when those avenues become the only road for those artists to walk, the line between merit and consolation becomes patently blurred

..Their decision to bow out and forgo a diluted version of their long-held aspiration is even more commendable. And we need more stances like that.

[Forbes] With the success of their most recent album, ARIRANG, dominating the charts and breaking numerous sales records, many experts have slated it as a leading contender for the Grammy Awards.

The BTS members have spoken in the past about their desire for the golden gramophone.. But as time went on, BTS grew even bigger, breaking records and receiving other awards and recognition. Over their 13 years as a group, BTS has won over 500 awards domestically and internationally.

So when the album did eventually release and received global and critical acclaim, with the poise to dominate this awards season, the Recording Academy announced in June that there would be several rule changes and five new categories for the upcoming 69th Grammy Awards next year including Asian Category.

But with the Asian Pop Performance category, BTS’s refusal to participate in the Grammy Awards is a sign of protest over the new category that is meant to divide. The group has proven with this album, ARIRANG, that language has no barrier, as the group continues to embark on their World Tour across North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America, Oceania, and more from all walks of life will sing along to the traditional Korean folk song, “Arirang,” during their “Body-to-Body” segment.

BTS’s lack of presence in “music’s biggest stage” is their way of saying they’ve had enough with them. The members have mentioned their disdain towards the awards show
