Stray Kids Submit No Music for 69th Grammy Awards

Stray Kids will not be represented in the submissions for the 69th Grammy Awards. Their agency, JYP Entertainment, confirmed that the group did not enter any music before the submission period closed, placing them among the K-pop acts sitting out the ceremony alongside BTS.

The agency told local media on Friday that Stray Kids had filed no entry by the Aug. 21 deadline. The confirmation establishes that the group made no submission for this Grammy cycle. JYP Entertainment did not provide a reason for the decision, and no further details about the group’s plans were shared in the source report.

The news concerns the awards submission process rather than a change to Stray Kids’ music or activities. The source identifies BTS as also sitting out the ceremony, but does not provide additional information about BTS’s submission status or explain either group’s decision. Grammy submissions are the focus of the report, with Stray Kids’ lack of an entry confirmed by their agency.
