BTS has announced that they will not be submitting music from their comeback album Arirang for consideration at the 2027 Grammy Awards.

All seven members of the K-pop supergroup — RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook —simultaneously posted an identical statement on their individual Instagram accounts on Wednesday (July 29): “We have decided not to submit to the Grammys this year,” a translation of the message reads. “I hope that music can be heard and loved for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language. Thank you to ARMY and everyone who is always with us.”
