The group announced they will not submit songs for consideration in the newly introduced Asian music category at next year's Grammys. On the surface, this decision seems like an affront to recognition of their art.
However, it becomes clear that BTS is using its platform to speak out against a system they believe prioritizes categorization over artistic merit.
