Recording Academy member Adam Merter Birson on BTS at the GRAMMYs 2027:
— "BTS ARMY should make a push for ARIRANG to win Album of the Year and not be marginalized with Best Asian Pop Music category. I think it's great if smaller artists could get recognized, but not BTS. BTS is way too big and way too important of a group to be falling into this trap."
“bts should win album of the year at the grammys instead of being put in the best asian pop category. bts is too big and important for this category. i think they should settle for nothing less than album of the year.” - recording academy member
