K-pop sensation BTS said Wednesday that it will not submit its music for consideration at the 2027 Grammy Awards, citing concerns over category divisions.

The seven members — RM, Jimin, V, Suga, Jungkook, Jin and J-Hope — uploaded the same statement to their individual Instagram accounts.

“We have decided not to enter the Grammys this year,” a translation of the message read. “I hope that music can be heard and loved for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language.”

The Recording Academy did not immediately return a request for comment.

The hugely popular BTS group was widely expected to be nominated for some of the Recording Academy’s top awards at the 69th Grammy Awards — including album of the year. The South Korean boyband’s most recent album “Arirang” has been one of the best-selling records of the year.
