Stray Kids Did Not Submit Music for the 69th Grammy Awards

Stray Kids did not submit music for the 69th Grammy Awards, according to a report by Sports Kyunghyang on October 2. The report said the group had not sent in any work by the August 21 submission deadline. JYP Entertainment later confirmed that no work had been submitted.

Grammy rules require works to be formally submitted to be considered for nominations. Without a submission, Stray Kids’ music will not be eligible for consideration at the awards and will not appear on the voting ballot. The report did not identify any particular release as having been entered.

JYP Entertainment did not give a specific reason for the decision. The agency also did not say whether it was connected to the creation of the new Asian Pop category. The confirmation establishes that the group did not submit work, but the available information does not explain why the choice was made or discuss any further plans involving the awards.
