Before #RUNSEOKJIN_epTOUR comes to an end tonight, I wanted to express how much happiness, fun, spectrums of emotion and positivity #jin has given us in this era. I have known #BTS and become Jin bias since 2017, it is almost ten years I watched his journey +
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.
อหหหหหห บังทันค่ดจะเริ่ด หลังจากที่แกรมมี่เพิ่มรางวัลสาขา Best Asian Pop Music Performance เข้ามา ล่าสุดบังทันทั้ง 7 คนก็ออกมาประกาศเลยว่าปีนี้จะไม่ส่งผลงานเข้าชิง โดยบอกว่า “หวังว่าดนตรีจะถูกฟังและได้รับความรักด้วยตัวของมันเอง แทนที่จะถูกแบ่งแยกโดยพรมแดนหรือภาษา” ให้เลยอะ 💯💯
The fact that Jinkook did this for over a minute but look at Seokjin going backwards the whole time without missing a step or floundering. He's actually so stable that's really insane
