Grammy performance video deleted following BTS boycott… Controversy over ‘retaliatory measure’ spreads

Controversy is growing as it has been revealed that a video of BTS’s representative performance was deleted from the official Grammy website following BTS’s announcement that they would refuse to submit to next year’s Grammy Awards.

In particular, given that the video was deleted after the boycott declaration, some are even raising suspicions that this is a retaliatory measure.

BTS recently expressed concerns regarding the Grammys' music genres and awarding methods and announced a boycott, and since then, various reactions have followed within the music industry.

As artists speak out for their music and identity, it remains to be seen whether the deletion of this video was merely a managerial measure or if there was another intention behind it.
