K-pop sensation BTS says they will not submit their music for consideration at the 2027 Grammy Awards, citing concerns over category divisions.

Under the new categorizations, the band’s song “Swim” might have been excluded from competing for best Asian pop music performance at the awards, one of the five new categories the Recording Academy announced. The new awards were sold as an effort to boost inclusivity.

The seven members — RM, Jimin, V, Suga, Jungkook, Jin and J-Hope — released the same statement.

“We have decided not to enter the Grammys this year,” a translation of the message read. “I hope that music can be heard and loved for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language.”

SALI Na!

07/09/2026

THANK YOU MESSAGE

I would like to thank you all for your greetings on my 91st birthday. As I mentioned to those gathered here in Leh, Ladakh, India on 6 July, when I look back on my life, I see that the core of my practice has been to be of benefit to others. That is the altruistic motivation with which I wake up every day.

Spreading compassion and kindness continues to be my life's primary mission. Such an attitude is essential to making our world a better place for everyone. I therefore call on my brothers and sisters everywhere, both young and old, to practice warm-heartedness and compassion, with genuine concern for the well-being of others. To be able to do so is, I believe, what it means to lead a meaningful and purposeful life of service.

As you may be aware, following a successful medical procedure on my left knee in New Delhi last month, I have since been recuperating here in Ladakh. As in past years, I find the climate here at this time of year well suited to my health, and I therefore plan to remain in Ladakh for the next several weeks.

With my prayers and good wishes,

DALAI LAMA
