I don't think people fully understand the magnitude of this decision.

Some of the music industry's most respected producers, writers, engineers, and creatives worked on ARIRANG. A project built to the highest artistic standard. One producer even spoke publicly about hoping the album would receive Grammy recognition.

Then the Recording Academy introduced a category specifically for Asian pop.

And BTS chose not to submit.

Think about that. The biggest musical project of the year. One of the strongest commercial and artistic contenders. A project that could have competed across multiple major categories. It simply won't be in the race because the artists chose principle over prestige.

Moves like this don't happen often. When artists at BTS' level willingly walk away from the biggest stage in music, the conversation shifts because of what they refused to endorse.

@5aa4ca13a5e94d5 You cannot tell me this guy isn’t fully in love with TXW…he folds EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

@5aa4ca13a5e94d5 I want the reunion right here right now there’s no need to fear anything… Xiwei is too genuine to put on any act she is exactly how she is that’s why their chemistry is so real doesn’t matter what people say as the true fans will always support them.

@amlysbang BTS are way beyond kpop

He’s literally the captain of this ship, so how are we supposed to move on? 😭 The way he just keeps yapping while xiwei has to tap him or cut him off before he says too much 🤣

Lo q dijeron estos productores:

"Denles 6 meses. Todos los álbumes kpop empezarán a sonar así" (refiriéndose a Arirang). También dijo q anteriormente siempre recibían correos de empresas con listas de "referencia" en las q solo habían canciones de BTS😭

[kath verá a BTS @jnfication]

Algunos productores hablaron sobre el éxito de BTS y ARIRANG

"Denles 6 meses. Todos los álbumes kpop empezarán a sonar con ese estilo" (ARIRANG).
También dijeron que ellos recibian canciones de referencia y eran puras canciones de BTS.

SON EL ESTANDAR�

THIS.💜

[viv. @hopegIow]

each and every single bts members not having main character syndrome is honestly one reason why they’re able to keep going for as long as they have been tbh

[Betty Suwan⁷ 💜 ⟭⟬E ARE B⟬⟭CK 💜 @BSpurpleoccean]

You will never find a group like this both their hearts and heads are all united 💜

[Soo Choi 💜 (REST) @choi_bts2]

K media : Compared to the past, what is one thing that hasn’t changed?

RM: When I’m with the members, I become the version of myself that I like the most. It brings out a kind of innocence, almost like a childlike side of me. We often say that we have the most fun when we’re together. It’s not easy to find friends who feel like family like this.

Jin: Rather than something that hasn’t changed, I’d say what’s improved is that we’ve grown even closer. The natural laughter and playful energy we share when we’re together is still the same. Even now, if we find a good restaurant, we go eat together.

SUGA & V: Our passion for the stage and the love we have for performing will never change.

Jimin: There will always be challenges whenever we take on something new. That’s why we’ll continue to think carefully about what’s right and make our choices. But one thing that won’t change is our attitude, like "Swim,” we’ll keep moving forward without stopping.

j-hope & Jungkook: Our feelings toward ARMY will never change. We are always grateful, and we love you.
