BTS Rejects Grammy Awards Over "Irksome" Language Categories BTS's decision not to submit its music for consideration at this year's Grammy Awards comes as no surprise, given the band's history of prioritizing artistic integrity over institutional recognition.
The announcement, made on Instagram by all seven members, is a pointed rebuke of the Recording Academy's new language based categories.
Critics argue that categorizing songs based on linguistic criteria undermines the purpose of music awards: to celebrate musical excellence regardless of origin or style.
