Stray Kids members Seungmin and Hyunjin discussed their musical priorities when asked about BTS’ decision not to submit its album ARIRANG for the 2027 Grammy Awards, Times Now reports. Neither directly supported nor criticised the decision during a press conference for Stray Kids’ mini album THIS & THAT.

Seungmin said the group focuses on its emotions, artistic vision and fans, while Hyunjin said trophies and chart records have never been their main measure of success. Their comments divided fans online, with some calling them evasive and others defending their choice to discuss Stray Kids’ approach. BTS said its music should be judged on artistic value, not language or region, after the Grammys introduced a Best Asian Pop Performance category.

Calling the replies either a calculated insult or proof of perfect diplomacy goes beyond the available facts. The members answered with their own artistic priorities, but did not address BTS’ decision directly. That leaves room for fan interpretation, not firm conclusions about their intent. The useful test is whether future statements from either group explain how the new Grammy category affects their submissions.
