The Grammy's ratings are about to be in shambles. That category was a bad move.. shouts out to @BTS_twt standing up for what they believe in which is the music.

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.
“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”
I STAND WITH BTS
SO PROUD OF BTS
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
"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." — BTS ❤️🔥
"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
I LOVE YOU, @BTS_twt. Thank you for always staying true to your values, and demonstrating real courage in the face of continued discrimination, unfairness and racism in the music industry. This, this is how you change the game 🔥🔥🔥
.@bts_bighit passes on 2027 Grammy submissions.
The move appears to be linked to the Recording Academy's newly introduced Best Asian Pop Music Performance category. Last month, the academy created a separate category grouping music from Asian countries including South Korea, China and Japan. BTS' decision not to submit their work is being interpreted as a statement of criticism over that move.
