K-pop group Stray Kids has announced it will boycott the Grammy Awards, becoming the second major act after BTS to withdraw from the ceremony, according to the BBC.
The withdrawal comes amid controversy over a new Best Asian Pop award category introduced by the Recording Academy, which organizes the Grammys.
Some artists and fans have criticized the new category, arguing that it segregates Asian pop acts rather than allowing them to compete in mainstream categories alongside other global artists.
BTS was the first major act to withdraw from the Grammys over the issue, and Stray Kids' decision to follow suit signals growing pushback from K-pop artists against the new award structure.
The Recording Academy had not issued an immediate public response to the latest withdrawal.
