HYBE reportedly clarified that BTS' decision to not submit for this year's Grammys was not part of a label-wide boycott.
The company said other HYBE artists will continue submitting their work individually, while BTS chose not to submit after careful deliberation, saying the decision was made to "protect the status and pride of the kpop industry as a whole."
BTS announces they will not submit their music for the 2027 GRAMMY awards, following the Recording Academyโs addition of an Asian-focused category:
โI hope music itself can be heard and loved rather than being distinguished by region or language.โ
