I created a podcast series that is more like a journal/video diary.
I'd love any words of encouragement or just support through viewership, if possible.
All good if not.
Here's a link:

The audacity to say this, as if BTS needed the GRAMMYs for press...
BTS who just performed at the 1st ever FIFA World Cup Halftime Show...
Who topped the BB200 this yr w/ 641,000 equivalent album units sold...
Who are in the midst of a golbal stadium tour that includes America
Accusing BTS of using them for press as if we forgot that their Weverse live after the Grammys a few years ago got more real-time viewers than the show itself
True, Grammys is a US show like the Brits is a UK show. The difference is that the Grammys allow for global submissions in each category, unlike the Brits. Perspective, year 1 is an Asian pop performance category. Next year, maybe they roll out Best Asian Pop Album. Then what? Asian Pop duo/group? So then all main pop has to be in English. The rest defaults to Asian. How about they just add English only to each category now? This is really just about English & making sure voters don’t listen to songs or artists they don’t want to judge.
Gillian Anderson says the script for Ryan Coogler's ‘X-FILES’ pilot is brilliant.
“I cannot think of a better person to take the helm… I was impressed by how different and yet how quintessentially like an X-File it was.”

Tom Holland admits that sharing the screen with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield left him so deeply conflicted about his legacy that he nearly quit the MCU forever
"I feel more pressure and more nerves releasing Spider-Man brand new day than I did Spider-Man Homecoming"
"there's something about that kind of childlike naivety of what was happening to my life at 20"
"sharing the screen with Tobey and Andrew, being really kind of conflicted as to whether or not my time as Spider-Man had come to an end"
"taking a leap of faith and diving into this new movie, falling in love with Destin, making a movie that I am so unbelievably proud of"
"I've been involved in this movie in a way that I haven't been before"
"I think a lot of those nerves are down to the fact that this movie feels like it's a bigger part of me"
Ur right.
I think the lady said it herself, but it hits hard knowing that they fumbled having the biggest band in the world at their show.
She probably got chewed out for creating that mess of a category lol.
@naija0329 I remember him being dismissive and rude, and attacking their use of auto tune (which everyone did who didn't understand that bts used it stylistically)
I really didn't like this YouTuber because years ago, he made videos being dismissive and disrespectful towards BTS and their music.
It felt like he was making an attempt to cater to audiences that were dismissive of BTS solely due to their popularity at that time.
D'Angelo Wallace speaking about BTS boycotting the Grammys, calls out antis spamming his chat with BTS hate and misinformation, and SNARK pages in general
"nobody knows how to be normal about BTS and that includes people who don't like them"
@btsbeingbtsyt Like not only was he snarky but also microaggressive in the way he mocked their English pronunciation and tried to push a narrative of PTD being an "anti-mask anthem". He was on the front lines of all the BTS hate and is now trying to act like he was never a part of it.
I was cooking downstairs and my dad unprovoked asked me what happened with my "BTS guys" because he read the news about them boycotting the Grammys and thought it was odd so he waited til he got home from work to ask me for more details. 😭
@aminahwrites i think the Gaza stance and outspokenness is getting him in trouble too.
im thinking of the whole rachel zegler situation... this is the same studio (Disney)
"Instead, we've been torn down by one of the biggest Asian artists, and it makes me really sad that there could have been a more meaningful conversation on the backend to understand what the actual aim of this was and have a dialogue vs taking a bold move like this to get more press."
watch your words lady watch your words.
By putting them in different boxes based upon continents and languages, you are adding more barriers, making it harder for foreign artists to be seen and appreciated for their contributions to music, and for their impact and influence.
BTS have actually had this stance for a really long time. This is the first time that they've boycotted a professional organization over it.
They've always believed that music transcends all boundaries and barriers crested by mankind.
actually you put Asian/Asian american artists in a weird alienated middleground... Art is hard enough, now we have to worry about language, where they have to worry if they put enough words or not enough words of this language or that language,
It was a time when you would get a lot of likes for making a hate tweet and even racist tweet that was about BTS.
They'd negatively talk about the "K-Pop" community, but it was mostly about us since our presence is quite large. They'd generalize us and stereotype us.
