BTS全体七名成员在Instagram上发表声明，宣布不会向2027年格莱美奖提交其新专辑《ARIRANG》及相关歌曲[1]。该乐团表示做出这一决定是因为希望音乐不被地域或语言分割[1]。
格莱美奖最近宣布了五个新类别，其中包括最佳亚洲流行音乐表演奖[1]。Recording Academy首席执行官Harvey Mason Jr.随后做出回应，强调"亚洲流行音乐类别的设立是为了庆祝来自亚洲的流行艺术的深度、多样性和非凡增长"[1]。他进一步指出，艺术家提交流派类别的作品不会排除其参与通用类别的提名资格[1]。
BTS曾获得五次格莱美提名，但从未获奖[1]。值得注意的是，K-pop音乐《Golden》来自Netflix动画电影《KPop Demon Hunters》，今年获得了最佳视觉媒体歌曲奖，成为K-pop首次获得格莱美奖的作品[1]。
BTS announced that all seven members will not submit their new album "ARIRANG" and songs to the 2027 Grammy Awards, stating through identical Instagram posts that they wish their music not to be divided by geography or language.[1] The Recording Academy has introduced five new categories for the upcoming ceremony, including the Best Asian Pop Performance award.[1]
In response to the band's decision, Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. clarified that the new Asian Pop category "was created to celebrate the depth, diversity and extraordinary growth of pop artistry coming out of Asia."[1] Mason Jr. emphasized that submitting to genre-specific categories does not prevent artists from competing in general categories for Grammy nominations.[1]
BTS has received five Grammy nominations throughout their career but has never won an award.[1] Earlier this year, however, K-pop achieved its first Grammy victory when "Golden," a song from the Netflix animated film "KPop Demon Hunters," won Best Visual Media Song.[1]
