BTS’s ‘Alien’ Re-examined Amidst Grammy No Submission Absence… Message of “Born Different” Draws Attention

"Alien," a track from BTS's fifth studio album "ARIRANG," is receiving renewed attention in conjunction with the group's recent decision not to submit an entry to the Grammy Awards.

Since BTS announced that they would not be submitting a work to the 69th Grammy Awards, interpretations are emerging that the lyrics of 'Alien' contain a message connected to this decision.

The song features expressions such as “seven aliens different from birth,” capturing their unique identity and the story of being artists who have walked a path distinct from others.

In particular, through their decision not to submit an entry to the Grammys, BTS conveyed their wish for music to be recognized for its intrinsic value rather than being evaluated based on specific regions or languages.

"Alien" is a song that musically expresses the perspectives BTS has experienced on the global stage, their position, and their originality, and following this decision, it is being reinterpreted with even greater significance among fans.
