This decision hit hard because winning a Grammy has been one of BTS’s long-time dreams.

“We have decided not to submit for this year’s Grammys.
Rather than music being categorized by region or language, we hope music itself can be heard and loved for what it is.
We sincerely thank ARMY and everyone who is always with us” pic.twitter.com/VTHeUcttNj
But what makes this decision even more interesting is that it comes right after the Recording Academy added a new “Asian Pop Music Performance” category. While some see it as progress, others expressed worries that it boxes Asian artists into a separate corner instead of competing in the main categories.
Well, fans, aka ARMYs, have shown strong support for BTS. Many believe the group has faced unfair treatment at the Grammys for years. They think the boy band deserved bigger and greater achievements but got overlooked. For them, the decision feels like a brave and bold step and something that was long overdue. The fans are posting joyful messages and praising the group for choosing dignity over chasing awards.
