As the U.S. Grammy Awards announced that it will push ahead with giving out awards in the Asian Pop category, Stray Kids have joined BTS in boycotting the ceremony.
The BBC of the UK reported that the boycott by Stray Kids will be a major blow to the Grammys.
Recently, the Recording Academy, which organizes the Grammys, expressed its intention to keep the Asian Pop category at next year's Grammy Awards.
Less than a day after this announcement, Stray Kids also declared a boycott, stating that they did not submit their music to the Grammys.
Having topped the Billboard 200, Billboard's main album chart, nine times, they were considered strong candidates for the Asian Pop category.
All the members also hold Grammy voting rights.
The BBC reported that "the boycott by Stray Kids, a leading contender and holder of voting rights, will be a major blow to the Grammys."
Following BTS, Stray Kids' declaration of a boycott is drawing attention to the possibility of other K-pop artists joining in.
