Stray Kids refuse to say if they’ll enter Grammys’ new Asian pop category after BTS opts out
SEOUL, Aug 9 — Stray Kids have refused to reveal whether they will submit their music for the 2027 Grammy Awards,...
Seungmin, a member of K-pop group Stray Kids, refused to comment on whether the group would enter the 2027 Grammy Awards' newly created Best Asian Pop Music Performance category. The group was questioned about their Grammy plans during a press conference in Seoul to promote their 10th EP, This & That. Despite the pressure, Seungmin emphasized that the group's focus has always been on their artistic ambitions rather than awards.
Hyunjin echoed this sentiment, stating that the group never sets out to make an album with a particular award or record in mind. JYP Entertainment also declined to comment on the group's Grammy intentions. The uncertainty surrounding Stray Kids' Grammy plans comes after BTS announced it would not submit music for next year's awards, citing a desire for music to be recognized for its inherent value rather than regional or linguistic boundaries.
The Recording Academy's Best Asian Pop Music Performance category was introduced in June for the upcoming 69th Grammy Awards.
