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.
Un judío ortodoxo en Palestina:
"Durante el período del Imperio Otomano, los palestinos eran nuestros mejores vecinos; vivíamos juntos en paz, cocinábamos juntos.
El sionismo destruyó esta paz."
Nadie quiere a los Sionistas, ni siquiera los propios judíos.
I DO NOT think people fully understand how much 1 billion is. If your salary was $100k with no tax, it would take you 10 years to become a millionaire, but 10,000 years to reach a billion. It is unethical for one person to be hoarding this much wealth while others cannot eat.
🚨 BREAKING:
Planes carrying military shipments from the UK to Israel were stopped in Belgium.
Belgium banned planes carrying military equipment to Israel from landing and using its airspace.
Well done 👏👏
The genocide of Jewish people called “holocaust”
The genocide of Native Americans called “discovery”
The genocide of Palestinian called “self-defense”
The genocide of Lebanese called “security threat”
Language matters. A genocide is unjustifiable wherever happens. Never again
Andrew Tate strangled the women he raped until they lost consciousness. He also beat them over the head and violently slammed them against furniture. Tate also texted one of his victims: "I love raping you"
Now he's in prison crying because he can't have bottled water. FOH
🚨 BREAKING:
US House Representative Mike Bost rebelled against Israel's genocide in Gaza:
"Islam has nothing to do with this matter.
To support Palestine, it is enough to be HUMAN."
Notice to those who are HUMAN!
Damn socialists...
This is exactly how it starts.
First it's groceries 30% cheaper. Then affordable housing. Then cheaper transit. Then accessible education.
Before you know it, people won't be struggling enough.
