BTS announced on Instagram that the group will not submit any music for consideration at the 2027 Grammy Awards. The decision follows the Recording Academy's creation of a new Asian pop category, covering K-pop, J-pop and C-pop acts using an Asian language. The seven-member group, seen as a frontrunner for the category, said it wants its music judged without being separated by region or language.
