“we have decided not to submit for the grammys this year.
we hope that music can be heard and appreciated for what it is, rather than being defined by region or language.
thank you to army and to everyone who has always supported us.”
bts choosing not to submit their music to the grammys in the one year they were almost certainly in a position to earn nominations is such a powerful statement.
the recording academy created a category to separate asian artists instead of recognizing them alongside their peers, reflecting a long-standing lack of respect and equal recognition for artists across an entire continent and the world.
bts lives and breathes music.
this decision isn’t just about them: it’s about standing up for fairness, dignity, and the artists who come after them. they’re taking a meaningful step not only for themselves, but for asian artists and the global music community as a whole.
I couldn’t be prouder.
BTS won't submit to the GRAMMY this year
We have decided not to submit our work for Grammy consideration this year.
We hope music will be listened to and loved on its own merits, rather than being categorized by geography or language.
Thank you, as always, to ARMY and to everyone who has supported us. #bts #grammy

PROUD OF YOU BTS!!
Dear @Spotify@SpotifyCares,
Bangladesh has a massive, passionate music streaming community, especially the BTS ARMY. After 5 years of Spotify's presence here, the absence of local charts is deeply felt.
We need Spotify Chart.

"We hope that music can be heard and loved for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language."
pretty much a direct fuck you to this bullshit ostracism they're starting next year
CEO of HYBE revealed that Arirang tour still have "many more" dates to be announced!
"There are still many dates left on the BTS world tour that haven't been announced yet, so I’m cautious about sharing additional performances and plans, but I do want to say that they are planned."
HYBE also in period April-June recorded the highest quarterly revenue in its whole history, thanks to Arirang tour.
"Direct participation revenue recorded 647.7 billion won in the performance sector and 326.8 billion won in the music sector. Notably, BTS’ world tour drove the performance results in Q2. Each location where BTS held concerts generated massive economic effects and even gave rise to the coined term "BTS-nomics."
BREAKING: BTS will skip the Grammys to compete at the 2026 League of Legends World Championship under Team Captain Kim Taehyung, who’s currently Master rank. 🤡🔥
