Grammys 2026: BTS has achieved global success but has never won a Grammy despite five nominations. For the 2026 Grammy Awards, members Jin, Jhope, and RM have submitted their solo music, giving fans hope for a win. After completing military service in 2024, the three members focused on solo projects. Each has released music that reflects their individual style and creativity. With Jin, Jhope, and RM submitting solo work, ARMYs are hopeful.
Jin released his album Echo, submitted for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album. His single Don’t Say You Love Me is up for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance. The album debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and topped iTunes charts in over 80 countries. Critics praised its strong vocals and emotional songs. Competition is tough, but Jin has a chance, especially in the Pop Vocal category.

In the past, BTS was nominated for songs like Dynamite, Butter, and My Universe but never won. Jungkook’s solo hit Seven also did not win. Fans believe the group’s popularity helped the Grammys’ viewership, but proper recognition was missing.
