BTS Not Submitting to Grammys… “Wishing to Be Judged on Music Itself, Not by Region or Language”

While BTS is achieving great success in the global music market, they have decided not to submit their 5th studio album 'ARIRANG' to the 69th Grammy Awards.

BTS conveyed this news through the members' official statement on the 29th, expressing their hope for an environment where music is evaluated on its own merits, without being distinguished by region or language.

This decision is garnering significant attention from global fans and the music industry. While BTS has demonstrated their presence in the global music market by challenging the Grammy stage as representative K-pop artists, this move is interpreted as a signal that they intend to focus on the musical values ​​and direction they pursue rather than competing in awards ceremonies.

In particular, their 5th studio album 'Arirang' has been loved worldwide since its release, once again proving BTS's musical prowess. It is being praised for communicating with global listeners by capturing Korean sentiment and BTS's unique message.
