Missing context

The article provides no statements from Stray Kids, BTS, the Recording Academy, or any official source confirming a boycott or the new category. It also lacks background on how Grammy categories are created, prior K‑pop involvement with the Grammys, or any response from the artists or their management.

Important context

Understanding the Grammys' category creation process, previous interactions between K‑pop acts and the Recording Academy, and any official communications from the artists or their representatives would be essential to evaluate the claim.
