BTS will not be submitting for consideration at the upcoming Grammy Awards. “We have decided not to submit to the Grammys this year. I hope that music can be heard and loved for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language. Thank you to ARMY and everyone who is always with us” The decision comes a month after the introduction of the new “Asian pop music performance” category for the 2027 Grammy Awards.

At the same time, they respected me and let me lead when it felt right. That balance meant a lot.” — Andye on working with Yogi The Producer and Savannah Ré for his upcoming project.

“I had to really take a step back and ask myself what kind of artist I actually want to be. And I realized I wasn’t fully being myself before. I was holding back a bit. Now I’m pushing myself to be more real in everything, and I think that’s why things are starting to connect more.” — Andye on his music journey so far.
