韩国流行乐团BTS宣布将不向2027年格莱美奖提交作品参赛[1]。这一决定做出之际，格莱美奖委员会刚刚推出了新的最佳亚洲流行音乐表演奖，该奖项要求歌曲必须包含"意义重大的亚洲语言"[1]。BTS的热门专辑《Arirang》中超过80%的歌词为英文[1]，不符合新奖项的语言要求。
BTS在声明中表达了对这一分类方式的异议，表示"希望音乐能因其本身而被欣赏，而不是按地区或语言划分"[1]。BTS自2019年起成为唱片学院投票成员[1]，此前曾因歌曲《Dynamite》在2021年获得格莱美提名[1]。
South Korean pop group BTS has announced it will not submit work for consideration at the 2027 Grammy Awards [1]. The decision comes approximately one month after the Recording Academy introduced a new Best Asian Pop Performance category, which requires songs to contain "meaningful Asian language" [1].
The withdrawal reflects tension over the eligibility criteria for the new award. BTS's recent album Arirang contains more than 80 percent English-language lyrics [1], which would likely disqualify the group's submissions under the new requirements. In their statement, BTS expressed a philosophical position on music categorization, stating they hope "music can be appreciated for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language" [1].
The group has been a voting member of the Recording Academy since 2019 [1] and previously received a Grammy nomination in 2021 for their song "Dynamite" [1].
