POLICY WIRE — Los Angeles, USA — The seven members of BTS have announced their decision to boycott the 2027 Grammy Awards. In a joint statement posted online, the group declared their withdrawal from the ceremony.

“We have decided to boycott the 2027 Grammy Awards,” the statement read. The announcement comes a month after the Recording Academy introduced a new category for Asian pop music.

The decision by BTS, one of the world’s most popular music groups, underscores ongoing debates about representation and recognition in major music awards. The introduction of the Asian pop category was intended to address these concerns, but it appears to have fallen short for some artists.

BTS has previously been nominated for Grammy Awards but hasn’t won. Their decision to boycott the event is likely to spark further discussions about the criteria and inclusivity of music award shows.
