Stray Kids Confirmed To Have Not Submitted Music For 2027 Grammy Awards
Stray Kids did not submit any music for the 69th Grammy Awards.
On October 2, Sports Kyunghyang reported that Stray Kids did not submit any work before the August 21 deadline. Under Grammy rules, works that are not formally submitted cannot be considered for nominations or appear on the voting ballot.
Following the report, a JYP Entertainment representative confirmed, “Stray Kids did not submit any work to the Grammys.” However, the agency did not provide a specific reason for the decision or comment on whether it was related to the creation of the new Asian Pop category.
The decision has drawn attention as all eight Stray Kids members were invited to join the Recording Academy as voting members this year, meaning that they will be eligible to participate in the voting process for Grammy nominees and winners.
BTS also previously announced that they would not submit music for the 69th Grammy Awards. In July, the members shared through their respective social media accounts, “We hope that music will be heard and loved for what it is, rather than being categorized by region or language.”
The 69th Grammy Awards will take place on February 7, 2027.
BTS has won three awards at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs)!
On September 27 (local time), the MTV Video Music Awards at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
BTS won the award for Song of the Year with “SWIM” as well Best K-Pop for “SWIM” and Best Group, snagging three awards total and winning in all the categories they were nominated for. In addition to winning Best Group for the fifth time after consecutively winning the award for four years from 2019 to 2022, BTS is also the first K-pop group to win Song of the Year.
Through their agency BIGHIT MUSIC, BTS shared, “We sincerely thank ARMY for always showing us unwavering love and support. ‘ARIRANG’ is an album that is like a new beginning for us, so these awards are even more meaningful. In particular, winning such a big award such as Song of the Year with ‘SWIM’ was possible due to everyone who loved our music. Going forward, our seven members will continue to showcase good music and performances together.”
Congratulations to BTS!
