The Grammys appear to be rethinking the new award for Asian pop just weeks after BTS announced they would not submit their music for the 2027 awards.
“It’s clear from our numerous conversations with many stakeholders over the past two weeks that, regardless of our intent and desire to be even more inclusive, there are some artists in this space who feel that this category isn’t representing the music they work so hard to create, in the way they wish... The management and Board are committed to working together to keep pace with that progress and ensure the musicians we intend to honor feel truly seen and heard by our actions,” Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. said in a statement.
Sources tell Variety that Mason and other Grammy executives have been in discussion with artists and execs representing K-pop, J-pop, C-pop, India and more. The Academy is convening its full Board and Awards & Nominations Committee to work with members of and leaders from this community to seek further advice on the category, as well as its process for introducing new categories and awards.

soobin saying he’s been starting his day with veggies lately and then it’s just two microscopic tomatoes a single cucumber slice and 3 sweets on the side is so funny😭
🐰”tobey vs andrew vs tom” all three of them are so great
🐰 i used to really love tobey’s spiderman but i think tom’s is my favorite now…i really love his duality…the cute dumpling-like tom suddenly transforming to do action scenes…which he’s really good at…i really like that
🐰 i might feel like that because of the avengers movies
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
