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.

Bahkan para kritikus yg memang mereka sudah pakem bagaimana cara kerja dan manuver elit global bekerja mereka bilang bahwasanya keputusan yg Bangtan ambil adalah sangat tepat.
Karena kenapa? Ini bukan cuma berbicara soal nominasi music awards ajh ini adalah bentuk langkah awal Grammy mengisolasi Industri musik Korea atau bahkan Asia.
Supaya apa? Supaya orientasi pasar global baik itu musik atau yg lainnya tetap berkiblat pada Amerika. Jadi sengaja mereka 'kotakan' menjadi kategori Asia supaya kemenangan musisi Amerika gk tergeser, tapi disisi lain mereka juga butuh pasar dan engagement dari Asia.
And we know @BTS_twt adalah kandidat terkuat yg pastinya menang sapu bersih all kategori Grammy dengan segala track records rekor musik mereka dan besar nya impact mereka menarik engagement pada acara ini. Si nenek ada kebutuhan untuk itu tapi disisi lain ada kepentingan juga untuk menjaga orientasi pasar Amerika makanya dibuatlah kategori ini supaya keduanya tercapai. tapi tetep ajh kita semua gk bodo dengan semua taktik busuk lu nenek @RecordingAcad
Ini semua bukan cuma sekedar teori tapi udh pernah kejadian sebelumnya mereka juga menambahkan kategori Latin lain setelah Bad Bunny memenangkan AOTY dan dinominasikan untuk SOTY dan ROTY. Tapi di kasus sebelumnya ini gk ada yg speak up sekenceng BTS makanya gk banyak yg tau POKOKNYA MENYALA BANGTAN KU WKWKWK ❤️🔥

Loser...
why not make an "White pop", "British pop" "European pop" "American pop" then?
or does not look cool to you?
It's all ok for you when you categorize whole of Asia, the most diverse continent into one category?
lucunya, pdhl bbrp produser, base, bahkan artis lain lgsg speak up soal si nenek. mrka dukung keputusan bts, setuju sm pernyataan mereka, bahkan ngebongkar busuknya sistem si G.
sementara kppshit malah sibuk ribut sendiri dan jadi si paling pakar 😭🤚padahal yg ngomong ini, org2 industri musik, sma kritikus. tpi masih aja ada yg ngerasa paling ngerti semuanya 💀
What the GRAMMYs Did to Bad Bunny in 2023.
During CBS's live broadcast of the 2023 GRAMMYs, the closed captions neither translated nor transcribed Bad Bunny's performance or his acceptance speech. Instead, they only displayed the labels: "SINGING IN A NON-ENGLISH LANGUAGE" and "SPEAKING IN A NON-ENGLISH LANGUAGE."

"The Asian Pop category was created to celebrate the depth, diversity, and extraordinary growth of pop artistry coming out of Asia."
Interesting how this category appeared the same year BTS made their comeback. After years of Asian artists being sidelined in the main categories, now a separate category is supposed to fix it?
@browsnugar Ini yang menyuarakan soal rasis bukan cuman army. Sebelumnya udah ada juga fans dari musisi” keren lainya yang speak up. Jadi plis kalo belum tau apa2 mending minggat.
@browsnugar Kenapa repottt” di kotak”in, ya karna apa?? Karna mereka ga mauuu Asian, Latina maupun Afrika artissss juga bsa ngejar posisi arts Amerika. 😵💫
Jadi wajarrr kalo Narasi yang elu maskdddd, soal kita yang jadi ngehate Grammy. KARNAAA MUSISI ASIA BAKALAN DI SEPELEKAN.
@browsnugar Orang” dongooo kek elu… ada aja kekosongannya.
Dulu banggain grammy krna masuk nominasi, jadi ketahuan kan kualitas musik BTS bsa bersaing sama artis” western lainya. Kalo skrg pd hujat ya kran, DISKRIMINASI. Phm konteks ga si dongo dongo.
Hal sekecil ini aja ga paham.🤣
