K-pop天团BTS的七名成员RM、Suga、j-hope、Jimin、V、Jung Kook和Jin发表联合声明，宣布将不提交音乐参加2027年格莱美奖[1]。该乐队在声明中表示，"我们希望我们的音乐能因其本身而被听到和喜爱，而不是按地域或语言划分"[1]。
这一决定做出之际，格莱美奖组织者不久前新增了五个奖项类别，其中包括亚洲流行音乐表演奖[1]。这一新类别在粉丝中引发了争议，许多人批评这种划分方式强化了种族化障碍[1]。2027年格莱美奖将是首届包含这些新增类别的颁奖典礼[1]。
BTS去年3月重返音乐舞台，结束了近四年的音乐休假[1]。该乐队迄今从未赢得格莱美奖，尽管曾获得五次提名[1]。
BTS has announced it will not submit music for consideration at the 2027 Grammy Awards. The seven-member South Korean group—RM, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V, Jung Kook, and Jin—issued a joint statement explaining their decision.[1] "We hope our music can be heard and loved for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language," the band stated.[1]
The announcement comes approximately one month after the Grammy Awards organization introduced five new award categories, including the Asian Pop Performance Award.[1] The new category sparked criticism from fans who viewed it as creating a racially motivated barrier.[1] Despite their influence and longevity in the music industry, BTS has never won a Grammy Award, though the group has received five nominations to date.[1] The 2027 Grammy Awards ceremony will mark the first year these newly created categories are eligible for submission.[1] The group returned to the music stage in March of last year following a hiatus of nearly four years from recording and performing.[1]
