🐯 After I asked people not to come and visit the hotel we're staying.. around 90 out of 100 people? Even if they see us, they pretend to not know us
🐯 They just walk away, or even just shut their eyes, even if they feel good to even meet us in their country, they just don't
🐯 We feel good to see that, so we greet them first like Hi~~ and they just get surprised, and go Have a good day, so we just handshake each other too!
🐯 It's so heartwarming to see, so we say thank you too, and then sometimes end up going the same way
🐯 We say byeee and walk in the same direction, so we kinda make eye contact like mm? it's funny at times like that
"Rather than music being divided by region or language, we hope it can be heard and loved simply as music itself."
and thats the sexiest statement bts has ever said
bts choosing not to submit their music to the grammys in the one year they were almost certainly in a position to earn nominations is such a powerful statement.
the recording academy created a category to separate asian artists instead of recognizing them alongside their peers, reflecting a long-standing lack of respect and equal recognition for artists across an entire continent and the world.
bts lives and breathes music.
this decision isn’t just about them: it’s about standing up for fairness, dignity, and the artists who come after them. they’re taking a meaningful step not only for themselves, but for asian artists and the global music community as a whole.
I couldn’t be prouder.

“We have decided not to submit for Grammys this year. Rather than music being divided by region or language, we hope music itself can be heard and loved for what it is. We are always grateful to ARMY and everyone who is always with us.”
THEY ATE THIS SO HARD
The US Award shows like the Grammys, Billboard, or the AMAs creating a separate K-pop category, only shows there is still a barrier for the artists. If the goal is truly to recognize music regardless of where it comes from, why create a separate category instead of allowing them to compete equally in the main categories?
The fact that a separate category is considered necessary says it all. Instead of including major korean artists in the main fields, they continue to be set apart because of their origin. Recognition should be based on impact, artistry, and achievements—not on separating artists by where they come from.

imagine being chosen to perform at the first-ever halftime show of the biggest sporting event in the world and then returning to the exact same stadium next month for your sold-out concerts… yeah that’s the biggest band in the world BTS!
