BTS announced on the 29th of last month through social media that they will not submit their work for the 69th Grammy Awards scheduled for February next year. This is understood as a protest against Grammy's establishment of the 'Best Asian Pop Music Performance' category, which groups music from Asia including South Korea, China, and Japan. In their statement, BTS expressed their hope that 'music is heard and loved for itself rather than being divided by region or language.' This stance is further emphasized by their March release 'Aliens,' which includes the lyric 'we aliens.' The Grammy Awards had been the only one of America's four major music awards that BTS had not won, but their regular album 'Arirang' achieved significant success in the US market, making their victory seem highly likely this year. BTS's boycott has generated significant international response, with fans expressing support through the hashtag '#ArtHasNoAliens.' Ultimately, Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of the Recording Academy of America, has indicated a reconsideration of the Asian Pop category as of the 14th.
