For 3 consecutive years starting from 2021, they were nominated in categories including "Best Pop Duo/Group Performance," but received no awards. Now? BTS has rejected the Grammys. With the whole world cheering for BTS, what does an "award" matter anyway?
"HAEGEUM" on Spotify Counter
07/26 — 317,778
07/27 — 285,520 (-32,258)🔻🚨🚨
Total: 845,570,585
Our daily streams dropped on a Monday instead of increasing. This is no way to treat a song that's so close to 1B! Please stream at least one short Haegeum-focused playlist every day. Every stream matters, and we need everyone to lock in!
#HaegeumTo1Billion
BTS is choosing to stand against the vile segregating policies of award shows that treat non-English speaking artists as outsiders who don't belong in the main categories.
Separating artists by language doesn't celebrate diversity. It normalizes separation. That's exactly the kind of barrier BTS has spent their entire career breaking down.
BTS has proven that good music transcends language, culture, and borders. They've brought people from every corner of the world together through their music, and staying true to those values means more than any award ever could. 💜
SUGA via Instagram story:
"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 distinguished by region or language.
Thank you to ARMY and everyone who is always with us."
FUXK GRAMMY!
“Born different, seven Aliens...
Green with jealousy, those Civilians...
Won't waste my breath to explain
To the stadium, gather up.
What more are you worrying about?”
— SUGA, "Aliens" ♡
SUGA melalui Instagram Storynya:
“Kami telah memutuskan untuk tidak ikut serta dalam Grammy tahun ini.
Daripada musik dikategorikan berdasarkan wilayah atau bahasa, kami berharap musik itu sendiri dapat didengar dan dicintai apa adanya.
Kami dengan tulus berterima kasih kepada ARMY dan semua orang yang selalu bersama kami"

Este año decidimos no presentar nuestra música a los Grammy.
Esperamos que la música pueda ser escuchada y apreciada por lo que realmente es, sin que se la defina por la región de donde proviene o el idioma en el que está hecha.
Gracias de todo corazón a ARMY, que siempre nos acompaña, y a todas las personas que nos brindan su apoyo.
