“imagine creating a whole new category to make sure bts do not win the main categories just for the members to not even submit for grammys”
the recording academy thought they were 10 steps ahead only for bts to be 50 steps more ahead. this is exactly why bts wrote aliens.
the way BTS were genuinely shocked that Zane had listened to Arirang... that broke me they've spent so long being treated like outsiders that basic respect feels surprising they'll always choose music as art over validation, and that's exactly why they'll always be the standard.
The most powerful part of this decision is that they are no longer asking to be accepted by the industry. They already know their worth as artists and understand that they deserve nothing less than everything they have built and earned throughout the years. 👏💜🔥
#WeStandWithBTS
All seven BTS members stand united in their decision not to submit to the Grammys this year. ✊
"We’ve decided not to submit our work for this year’s Grammy Awards. We hope music will be recognized and loved for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language. Thank you, as always, to ARMY and everyone who supports us." 🔥
