In the end, some are not different from the people you claim to criticize. You’re just waiting for the right moment to take off your masks.
When outrage becomes selective, it stops being about morality and starts revealing who you were looking for an excuse to punish all along.
Grammys May Reconsider New Asian Pop Award After BTS Withdrawal: ‘Some Artists Feel This Category Isn’t Representing the Music They Create’ https://t.co/BC5j0WvX5O
bts made history as the first artist in the 70 year history of the grammys to stress the academy stakeholders and committee. for years, the recording academy was giving them nominations in minor categories, using them for views, and embarrassing them just because bts was the only major asian act competing at the same level as their darlings in their market. when they were about to humiliate bts yet again during their most successful era, it was the grammy that suffered a loss of reputation. members who did not know there would be a massive media backlash accused bts of pr stunts and belittled people. what happened now? bts rejected the category grammys opened for them.
notice how all the accounts that supporting to give black ocean and want the boys to beg on their knees and apologize are turning out to be multis and boycotter, trust me when i say they are next kpoppies bc stantwt don't even treat the real criminals like they are treating bts.
This might be the first time 👵 acts this fast after an artist declined to submit their music lol. They definitely did not anticipate the lashing they got from the media globally & now trying to salvage their 'prestige' reputation 🤭.
I can't believe the things I'm reading are from actual ARMY. Contructive critisms do not give you the right to flat out insult or disrespect BTS members. Even suggesting to do ⚫🌊 at their concert today? How are you any different from those antis who did it to hurt them in 2016?
Antis are planning to give 🐿️ a black ocean and not chant his name at tonight’s show.
To everyone attending, please make sure your voices are SUPER LOUD for him, as always! ❤️
The Grammys appear to be rethinking the new award for Asian pop just weeks after BTS announced they would not submit their music for the 2027 awards.
“It’s clear from our numerous conversations with many stakeholders over the past two weeks that, regardless of our intent and desire to be even more inclusive, there are some artists in this space who feel that this category isn’t representing the music they work so hard to create, in the way they wish... The management and Board are committed to working together to keep pace with that progress and ensure the musicians we intend to honor feel truly seen and heard by our actions,” Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. said in a statement.
Sources tell Variety that Mason and other Grammy executives have been in discussion with artists and execs representing K-pop, J-pop, C-pop, India and more. The Academy is convening its full Board and Awards & Nominations Committee to work with members of and leaders from this community to seek further advice on the category, as well as its process for introducing new categories and awards.
