AustriaThe South Korean boy band BTS has decided not to submit any music entries for this year's Grammy Awards, as announced in a statement shared by the group on their social media channels. The band emphasized their belief that music should be appreciated universally, regardless of region or language. This decision comes amid the Grammys' announcement earlier this year to introduce five new categories, including 'Best Asian Pop Music Performance,' which aimed to recognize performances originating from Asian markets but faced criticism. BTS made a comeback this year after members completed their mandatory military service in South Korea, starting with the release of their album 'Arirang' in March. Since their debut in 2013, BTS has risen to become one of the most successful pop bands globally, challenging the long-standing dominance of Western pop music.
