Remember when Taehyung posted a early send off note to Jungkook because Taehyung is enlisting first 😭😭😭
🐻: Hyung is going first, you go in safely tomorrow
Bruh his love for Jungkook..😭😭😭
i want to be so disgustingly well read. i want to be sitting at tables and speaking of books with names that roll off your tongue like an exotic animal’s name. i want to talk about theories and the science and philosophy and the universe and religion and love and my career.
Yo quiero que me expliquen por qué cuando era pequeño salía del colegio, almorzaba, jugaba en la calle, hacía los deberes, veía la tele, me bañaba, jugaba en casa, leía y eran las 7:00pm todavía. Ahora te tomas un café y ya son las 11 de la noche.
hits harder when you remember namjoon told us merry go round was written about the monotonous days of the military and that bts members were put into the harshest bases with some of the worst conditions and they survived that to come back together as a group
remember when jtbc broke into bighit's offices and illegally filmed internal documents then falsely reported that the bts members were seeking legal action against BH over profit-sharing disputes and had to apologize on air for falsifying the report and trespassing...
🐨since we’re aliens to the music industry for america we dont know if there’s a place for us or not. grammys arent as hot 100 its not numbers we dont know what’s going on
they’ve spoken about the racism before & its so sad to see them go thru it again :(
@PopBase here i'll reword it for you:
"the GRAMMYs are introducing their first asian category as a form of cultural segregation isolating asian artists into a separate category while excluding greater talent from outside their country & making the industry revolve around themselves" ❤️
There’s a lot to unpack here, and I’m going to say it directly. I dont care if I get cancelled but this needs to be said.
For years, BTS were told they weren’t big enough, mainstream enough, or "Grammy material." Then they became one of the biggest acts in the world. They broke records, sold out stadiums across continents, topped charts repeatedly, and built a global cultural impact that few artists in history can match.
And when they became too successful to ignore?
The Grammys nominated "Dynamite" and "Butter"—both English-language songs.
Let that sink in.
The songs that got BTS into the major Grammy conversation were the songs that fit most comfortably into the Western industry framework. Yet BTS's discography is filled with critically acclaimed Korean-language music that has had enormous cultural and artistic impact.
Now we have a "Best Asian Pop Music Performance" category.
And before anyone calls that progress, let's ask the obvious question: why does there need to be a separate category at all?
If Asian artists are good enough to dominate global charts, sell millions of records, headline festivals, influence culture worldwide, and compete with every major artist in the industry, then they are good enough for the same categories as everyone else.
Inclusion isn't creating a separate lane after Asian artists prove they can win in the existing ones.
Inclusion is treating them as equals.
That's why BTS's lyrics in "Aliens" hit so hard:
"어쩜 그래 shameless
예의를 차려 we aliens
해는 동쪽에서 risin'
Aliens, aliens"
No matter how successful some artists become, there are still systems and institutions that treat them as perpetual outsiders.
And that's exactly why this conversation matters.
Because when BTS were impossible to ignore, the response shouldn't have been to create another box and place Asian artists inside it. The response should have been to judge them by the same standards as every other artist competing for the biggest awards in music.
ARMYs, we have a mission.
Talk about Arirang everywhere. Put it in AOTY conversations. Put it in ROTY conversations. Write threads. Make edits. Share analyses. Start discussions.
If we believe it deserves those nominations, then let's make enough noise that nobody can pretend it doesn't belong in the room.
They ignored BTS until they couldn't.
Let's make sure they can't ignore Arirang either.
Grammys introducing an "Asian pop" category and limiting all Asian artists into one box eventhough we all have different cultures , music style and history behind them is just racist
Also isn't it intresting how they only mention East Asian music markets and ignore all other parts
💔🇰🇷 ¡LA RELACIÓN ESTÁ COMPLETAMENTE QUEBRADA!
La selección de Corea del Sur decidió romper vínculos con la prensa de su país tras la filtración de un audio en el que varios periodistas se burlaban de su capitán, Heung-min Son.
La respuesta del plantel fue inmediata: silencio total. Tras la victoria ante República Checa 🇨🇿, Son ignoró todas las consultas en zona mixta y la federación canceló las entrevistas individuales que ya estaban programadas.
El conflicto escaló a tal punto que la Federación Coreana tuvo que reprender públicamente a los medios desplazados al Mundial.
Además, el jefe de prensa de la delegación presentó su RENUNCIA, asumiendo la responsabilidad por no haber podido controlar la conducta de los periodistas que acompañaban al equipo.
🚨 La fractura entre la selección y la prensa surcoreana parece estar en su punto más crítico.
방금 감천문화마을의 지민 정국 벽화를 방문했다가 이 포스터가 붙어있는 것을 발견했습니다. 포스터를 떼어내 보려 했지만, 벽의 페인트까지 함께 벗겨져서 떼어낼 수가 없었습니다.
벽화 복원 작업을 마친 지 채 2주도 지나지 않았는데 이런 일이 생겨 마음이 좋지 않습니다. 왜 굳이 벽화 위에 포스터를 붙여야만 했는지도 이해가 잘 안됩니다.
이 벽화를 복원하는 데 수천만 원의 사비가 투입되었습니다. 불필요한 논란이 될까 봐 비용에 대해서는 굳이 언급하지 않으려 했으나, 앞으로 이와 같은 일이 다시 발생하는 것을 막기 위해 부득이하게 금액을 공개하며 주의를 당부드리고자 합니다.
부디 모두가 함께 이 공간을 아끼고 소중히 여겨주시기를 간곡히 부탁드립니다.
저희 팀은 이미 서울로 돌아온 상태라, 당장 페인트가 벗겨진 부분을 어떻게 복구해야 할지 눈앞이 캄캄하네요...
