ARIRANG TOUR IN NEW JERSEY D1 - #RM ending ment
๐จ New Jersey, Namjoon, we have the same initials.
๐จ You guys are the best place to start a new month. August.
๐จ First, I want to shout out the artist who dominated my whole teenage years. King of New York, Big Nas is here tonight.
๐จ Shout out to Nasty Nas.
๐จ Thanks for coming, and it's a really strange and wonderful feeling to be able to perform in front of your teenage idol.
๐จ Whatever is next, guys, ARMYs, I want to stay positive.
๐จ I'll never take this love for granted.
๐จ I hope you had a great time tonight. I love you so much.

A artista chinesa independente XTIE, votante do Grammy, saiu em defesa do pronunciamento do BTS sobre a categoria "Pop Asiรกtico" em seu TikTok.
"Sรณ pra dar uma perspectiva sobre a controvรฉrsia do Grammy: Eu sou uma artista de Hong Kong. Eu usei melodias do folk cantonรชs nessa mรบsica*. Eu usei instrumentos chineses. Eu a escrevi e produzi. Mas ela nรฃo estรก elegรญvel a 'Pop Asiรกtico' porque eu a cantei em inglรชs.
(...) Eu sou membro votante da Academia desde 2024, e fiquei chocada de ver que essa categoria foi aprovada sem antes ter tido uma conversa com a comunidade artรญstica asiรกtica fora dos Estados Unidos."

I really hope on the night of the grammys that army gives literally ZERO attention to it. No trending hashtags, no posts, and certainly no fan wars over whichever Asian act wins a grammy.
Can we all just agree to do a streaming party and give the grammys the silent treatment??
[INFO] #Jungkook asked fans to respect his space and not to shove phones in his face, during his live on Weverse! ๐จ
โTaking pictures together isn't a problem, but I went in to get some bread and there was someone who shoved a camera in my face. That's not good manners. Whatever your age may be or wherever you be from, it doesn't matter.โ
