BTS announces they will not submit their music for the 2027 GRAMMY awards, following the Recording Academy’s addition of an Asian-focused category: “I hope music itself can be heard and loved rather than being distinguished by region or language.”

I heard them during the World Cup final halftime show. They are POP, nothing "Asian" about their music. They sound no different than the Backstreet Boys or NSYNC.

They have a 13 year career - you shouldn't base opinions about their music on the partial performance of the only singles that radio picked up. Grammy's are still cooked but their FIFA halftime show was cooked too. Try "IDOL" or "Silver Spoon" or "Spring Day" "Body to Body".

Dynamite and Butter were songs that BTS picked up by super American pop producers as a fun challenge to sing songs entirely in English for the first time. They are great fun but not representative of them as artists.

Regardless, they are still a pop boy band, in the same musical category as Backstreet Boys.

Whatever you say, observer of their work for less than a full minute.
