BTS, the South Korean music group, have announced their withdrawal from the 2027 Grammy Awards, stating they will not submit their Arirang album or any of its songs for consideration. All seven members posted a joint statement online confirming their decision to boycott the ceremony.
The announcement comes approximately one month after the Grammy Awards introduced a new award category for best Asian pop music performance. While the sources indicate this timing suggests a connection between the new category and BTS’s withdrawal, the exact reasons or grievances behind the group’s decision have not been explicitly detailed in the available reporting.
