Sometimes you gotta go back to the start. This album felt like a full circle moment…back in LA with the same team we made our first album with, seeing where the songs would take us this time.

So proud of BTS for taking their stand. If it was anyone else for that crappy award have folded and get that category award which is to limit Asian acts but not BTS. If you are not gonna let us give equal opportunity to fight then let it be

Forbes about BTS and Grammys, 2019:
"But as BTS continue smashing records and the Grammys continue to lose relevance, who really needs who?"

I will never forget how solos & antis tried to paint namjoon as shading his members with "I'm the only one who speaks english but that's how we kill" when all it ever did is point out how despite not being english speakers BTS thrives in an environment where they are not welcomed

And the fact that BTS made their statement in Korean 😎
MAD RESPECT for Bangtan🫡 Because of this ALIENation, creating a whole new category just to put BTS in an “Asian box”, BTS took a stand. This is exactly what “ALIENS” is all about.
Everybody knows BTS is a strong contender at the Grammys for their critically acclaimed album ARIRANG. And by not submitting, they’re sending the loudest message an artist can send: they don’t need a side category to be validated by the West. Yes, BTS dreams of a Grammy. But if that dream means being discriminated against like this, they know it isn’t worth it. Being the FIRST is not always important, but rather, leaving an IMPACT and a LEGACY is what really counts! Bangtan is on the right track💪🏽
“We have decided not to submit for the Grammys this year.
Rather than being categorized by region or language, we hope music can be heard and loved for what it is.
We sincerely thank ARMY and everyone who is always with us.” - BTS July 29, 2026
WE ARE PROUD OF YOU BTS

“imagine creating a whole new category to make sure bts do not win the main categories just for the members to not even submit for grammys”
the recording academy thought they were 10 steps ahead only for bts to be 50 steps more ahead. this is exactly why bts wrote aliens.
Congrats! BTS for standing up for yourselves.
English lyrics excluded them from the new "Asian artist award" and they've been nominated 5 times before in the other categories and never won
A global band like BTS doesn't need The Grammys to prove their worth.
Sold out concerts do
