Grammy CEO Harvey Mason jr. has issued a statement in response to BTS’ decision not to submit for the 2027 awards, which the K-Pop superstars announced on Wednesday, in an effort to clarify that the launch of a Best Asian Pop category was not intended to sideline K-Pop artists.

“I am saddened to hear that BTS has chosen not to participate in the Grammy Awards process this year, but as a music creator, I understand and respect their decision,” Mason wrote.
