BTS’s Decision For This Year’s Grammy Awards Sparks Massive Response

Recently, all seven members of BTS posted an announcement on their personal Instagram accounts regarding this year’s Grammy Awards.

They confirmed that they would not be submitting an entry to the show this year.

We have decided not to submit an entry for this year’s Grammys. ​Rather than categorizing music by region or language, we hope music itself can be heard and loved for what it is. ​We sincerely thank ARMY and everyone who is always with us.

Fans praised the group for taking action and knowing their worth.

Honestly it makes me sad and angry but I fucking understand them really. And my anger is towards the fuckass Grammys. They have no clue how to celebrate diversity.

Many felt that their decision not to submit an entry for the Grammy Awards was interpreted as a form of criticism against the show’s announcement last month to create a new Asian Pop Music Performance category, which distinguishes music from Asian regions.
