Why BTS is skipping the Grammys
"We have decided not to enter the Grammys this year."
The massively popular K-pop boyband announced they would not submit for consideration for the Recording Academy’s awards this year, in apparent protest of a new Asian Pop Music category.
The 2026 KM Chart Awards honoured K-pop's biggest achievements of the past year across four Daesang categories and an extensive list of additional awards. Along with MAMAMOO's HWASA, Bighit labelmates CORTIS, BTS and Tomorrow X Together each claimed a Daesang, which is the ceremony's top tier of recognition.
