BTS will not submit music for consideration at next year’s Grammy Awards, members of the K-pop supergroup announced Wednesday, a little over a month after the Recording Academy confirmed that the 2027 ceremony will include an Asian pop music performance category for the first time.
K-pop band BTS said that they will not submit their music for consideration at the 2027 Grammy Awards, citing concerns over category divisions.
"I am saddened to hear that BTS has chosen not to participate in the Grammy Awards process this year," said Grammy CEO Harvey Mason jr.
The massively popular K-pop boyband announced they would not submit for consideration for the Recording Academy’s awards this year, in apparent protest of a new Asian Pop Music category.
BTS returns the track "Normal," now a single from the band's album Arirang, to multiple charts in the U.K. The cut reappears at No. 1 on several sales rankings.
All of Billboard's charts update each Tuesday.
Six members of the K-pop group sat down with 'Capital Breakfast' at Kensington Palace for their first UK visit in seven years.
"Swim" nearly falls off the Billboard Hot 100, but as the Arirang single keeps on the chart, it ties "My Universe" with Coldplay as one of the band's sturdiest smashes.
