Global K-pop group BTS has announced that it will not submit its music for consideration at the 69th Grammy Awards, scheduled for February 7, 2027. The announcement follows the Recording Academy’s introduction of a new Best Asian Pop Music Performance category, which recognises Asian pop music including K-pop, J-pop and C-pop. BTS has previously received Grammy nominations, including in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Best Music Video categories. The members have been voting members of the Recording Academy since 2019. After completing their mandatory military service, BTS reunited and released their fifth studio album, Arirang, in March.
