BTS said they will not submit music for consideration at next year’s Grammy Awards. Members of the K-pop supergroup shared the decision on Wednesday, signaling that the group will sit out the usual awards submission process for the upcoming ceremony.

The announcement comes a little over a month after the most recent Grammy Awards, where BTS remained part of the broader conversation around global pop music and major industry recognition. By declining to enter music for consideration, the group is stepping back from the awards race for now.

BTS have long been one of the most closely watched acts in discussions about the Grammys, with fans and music observers often following the group’s relationship with the Recording Academy. Their latest update is likely to draw strong interest because of the band’s global reach and the continued attention around major U.S. music awards.

While the group did not move forward with Grammy submissions for next year, the announcement adds another notable chapter to BTS’s ongoing career story. For fans and the music industry alike, the decision marks a clear shift in how the group is approaching the next awards season.
