Why BTS is skipping the Grammys
"We have decided not to enter the Grammys this year."
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.
South Korean superstar boyband BTS will not be in the running for any Grammy Awards next year. It's because the music awards have introduced a new category called "Best Asian Pop Music Performance", but the stars say this isolates Asian artists from other popular musicians instead of competing against them.
BTS will not be submitting their music for the 2027 Grammy Awards, and the Recording Academy has finally broken its silence.
The 2026 KM Chart Awards honoured K-pop's biggest achievements of the past year across four Daesang categories and an extensive list of additional awards. Along with MAMAMOO's HWASA, Bighit labelmates CORTIS, BTS and Tomorrow X Together each claimed a Daesang, which is the ceremony's top tier of recognition.
