We have decided not to submit to the Grammys this year. I hope that music can be heard and loved for its own sake, rather than being distinguishef by region or language. Thank you to ARMY and everyone who is always with us.
PROUD OF YOU BTS!!
🚨 HYBE stated, "This is not a boycott at the company level." An official said, "If other artists under our agency wish to submit entries, we plan to proceed with the submissions as scheduled."
In the music industry, analysts suggest that BTS's declaration could influence the moves of the other awards ceremonies, given that the four major U.S. music awards have recently all begun operating dedicated K-pop categories .
This is because other awards ceremonies faced similar criticism from fandoms when they established K-pop-exclusive genres prior to the Grammys.
