The craziest part is that BTS became the first act ever to reject a racist award show, and it will forever go down as one of their most historic moments.

metlife you need to be LOUD. the whole concert, beginning to end. it will be their first concert after this announcement. the support and love we have for them and their art needs to be loud and clear.

[kayla⁷ 🐰🖤 @thejooniebug]

Oh and before all of you other fandoms talk shit and get it twisted, ARIRANG IS the album of the year. SWIM IS the song of the year. And lastly, BTS IS THE ARTIST OF THE YEAR. The numbers don’t fucking lie.

[sen @sugatradamus]

this was the whole point after all.

The impact speaks louder than any trophy

seeing shakira and bad bunny hq & big fan pages support bts’s decision because music is for the people, not regions 🥹

dear 2013 bts, you would NEVER believe what 2026 bts just did

EVERYONE MARK THIS DAY ON UR CALENDAR WE ARE GONNA REMEMBER THIS FOREVER

except for tablo from epik high, no peer of bts in k-pop supported bts today. an industry critic said that only bts could show this backbone and that k-pop has to bow down to the grammys. while bts wanted to protect the industry's pride, we learned that the industry has no pride.

[🏡 @homeisjungkook]

it’s a win for us. any group that does submit for a category that was created to segregate Asian artists will go down in history as spineless and desperate. BTS have integrity, self-respect, and strength in genuine support— the most admirable award there is.

[sophie @thvchapters]

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.

[adiba @780613]

the gag is bts knew they wouldve had a near guaranteed grammy win with this new asian pop category but understand that cosigning this category wld mean that ultimately asian language acts would be gatekept out of the main/general categories

The Grammys were a goal, BTS turned them into an option

AND SAY IT LOUDER

[mina saw BTS @7rirang]

i dont think y’all realize how fucking cool it is to just openly announce you are not submitting for the grammys because of their mistreatment. it takes a lot to have that kind of courage. they said FUCK that racist organization. BTS are truly the most inspiring artists ever

[♡ @amlysbang]

I don't think people fully understand the magnitude of this decision.

Some of the music industry's most respected producers, writers, engineers, and creatives worked on ARIRANG. A project built to the highest artistic standard. One producer even spoke publicly about hoping the album would receive Grammy recognition.

Then the Recording Academy introduced a category specifically for Asian pop.

And BTS chose not to submit.

Think about that. The biggest musical project of the year. One of the strongest commercial and artistic contenders. A project that could have competed across multiple major categories. It simply won't be in the race because the artists chose principle over prestige.

Moves like this don't happen often. When artists at BTS' level willingly walk away from the biggest stage in music, the conversation shifts because of what they refused to endorse.

[BTS Daily⁷ @btsdaily77]

All seven BTS members stand united in their decision not to submit to the Grammys this year. ✊

"We’ve decided not to submit our work for this year’s Grammy Awards. We hope music will be recognized and loved for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language. Thank you, as always, to ARMY and everyone who supports us." 🔥
