This racist and xenophobic remark by @JamesEppler was absolutely unprofessional and disgusting.
@fox34@GrayMediaGTN you need to address this immediately with a formal apology.
Tagging @TTU_CoMC where he’s a professor so they’re aware of who is teaching their students.
ARIRANG is one of those rarest albums everr that has the commericial success, the critical success, immense cultural impact and music that made people move and led to bts selling out stadium across the globe. All this makes it a GRAMMY worthy project.
Everyone in Kpop tried to ride on BTS' coattails, but no one succeeded. BTS paved their own way and paved the way for everyone else to at least have a platform, but the reality is, the paths made by BTS with their Blood Sweat & Tears, was only for BTS, no one else is worthy.
People can twist narratives all they want but something like this doesn’t just happen.
It can’t be faked. It can’t be manufactured.
This is just pure impact. Pure influence. This is genuine and unadulterated connection that transcends culture.
The reason BTS is hated;

▪︎They survived worst smear campaigns in K-Pop
▪︎They stayed as 7
▪︎Didn't need the industry
The reason ARMY is hated;
▪︎We helped BTS surpass K-Pop
▪︎We protected BTS
▪︎We kept BTS ad 7
▪︎Didn't need anyone else
