The seven-member group announced they will not seek Grammy consideration for the 2027 ceremony, citing a desire for their music to be appreciated without regional or linguistic divisions.

BTS announced on Wednesday that the group will not submit its music for consideration at the 69th Grammy Awards, which are scheduled for February 7, 2027. All seven members—RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—shared an identical statement on their individual Instagram accounts. The decision comes shortly after the Recording Academy introduced a new category for Best Asian Pop Music Performance.

Statement on Grammy Consideration

In their shared statement, the group expressed a hope that their music would be heard and loved for its own merits rather than being categorized by language or region. They also extended thanks to their fanbase, known as Army, for their ongoing support.

Background and Recent Activity

Although BTS has received previous Grammy nominations in categories such as Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Best Music Video, the group has not yet won an award. All members have been voting members of the Recording Academy since 2019. The group recently released their fifth studio album, 'Arirang,' in March and is currently conducting a world tour of the same name, which recently concluded its European leg in Paris.
