Variety teased that ATEEZ’s captain would be speaking about BTS and GRAMMYs in a new interview.

Initially, many were confused as to why Hongjoong would be asked about this rather than focusing on topics about music and the group.

Rather than directly speaking about whether Hongjoong agreed with BTS or what he thought of the decision, when the video was released, Hongjoong was asked if ATEEZ would be sharing a similar outlook when it came to their music. Hongjoong his reasoning for agreeing with BTS’s decision not to submit their music to the GRAMMYs for the “Best Asian Pop Music Performance” category.

I think I little agree with what BTS did, becaise for me, GRAMMYs is a dream too and for ATEEZ to, but I think music has no boundaries and K-Pop, we do many genres in K-Pop. When I make the music and talk with many producers, we never think about Korean music or AMerican music or some UK music, these days. In the past, we can make some boundaries, but these days, there’s quite a difference.

When the video was posted, netizens praised Hongjoong’s words and how he was focusing on creating music and not the boundaries between different genres.
