Fans Cheer for BTS's 'Grammy Boycott'… Grammys Clarify "Not Meant to Segregate"

Fans are sending waves of support following BTS's declaration of a "Grammy Awards boycott."

Amidst this, the Grammys stated that they respect the members' decision and clarified that it was by no means an attempt to segregate anyone.

Previously, the members declined to submit entries to the Grammys, expressing their hope that music would be loved for what it is rather than being divided by region or language.

Fans around the world took to social media with hashtags expressing pride in BTS to send their cheers and support.

They also voluntarily streamed the track "Aliens" from the 5th album, propelling it to the top of the iTunes Top Songs chart.

This song captures their identity and aspirations as outsiders in the Western music market.

Regarding BTS's boycott, the Grammys explained that the newly established "Asian Pop" category was not meant to segregate anyone, but rather to broaden the range of artists recognized by the Grammy voting body.

They emphasized that submitting to the "Asian Pop" category does not place any limitations on winning main awards.
