remember when jimin & jungkook were offering food to homeless people & they met a man who told them “stay true to yourself, stay true to your heart. don’t be like other groups, be who you are, why you’re an artist, what made you attracted to art and you’ll be good at whatever you do”
and they carried those words with them throughout their journey, staying true to their artistry and themselves which is what led them to where they are today.
It breaks my heart that they're so used to being treated like outsiders that the bare minimum feels extraordinary. Seeing them genuinely surprised just because Zane said he listened to "Arirang" says everything.
you want me to gaf about the grammys when this is the crowd bts pulls with a 5 hour notice for a few minutes appearance. awards can be bought but you can never fake influence.
HYBE reportedly clarified that BTS' decision to not submit for this year's Grammys was not part of a label-wide boycott.
The company said other HYBE artists will continue submitting their work individually, while BTS chose not to submit after careful deliberation, saying the decision was made to "protect the status and pride of the kpop industry as a whole."
