K-pop group Stray Kids skip 2027 Grammy Awards submissions, following BTS
The news was confirmed by Stray Kids' agency, JYP Entertainment.
JYP Entertainment, the agency for K-pop group Stray Kids, announced on Friday that the group will not submit any entries for the upcoming 2027 Grammy Awards. This decision follows BTS, another prominent K-pop group, who also opted out of submitting their new album Arirang and its songs for Grammy consideration. JYP Entertainment did not provide a reason for Stray Kids' decision.
The move comes months after BTS's announcement, sparking criticism from some who argue that the new best Asian pop music performance category may isolate Asian artists and limit their chances of winning general field awards. Grammy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. clarified that the category will proceed as planned, despite receiving mixed feedback from the community.
Nominations for the 69th Grammy Awards will be revealed on November 16, with the ceremony scheduled for February 7, 2027 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
