[🎥] Os âncoras do programa jornalístico "CBS Mornings" comentaram sobre a decisão do BTS em relação ao Grammy.
Eles disseram compreender a decisão do grupo e mencionaram que eles são maiores do que "a caixa" que o Grammy gostaria de colocá-los.
Emily Curl, a repórter convidada para dar a notícia, termina dizendo que o BTS não precisa deste tipo de validação, já que eles são grandes como grupo"

I applaud @bts_bighit for rejecting the Recording Academy's attempt to shove them into a category for the Grammys.
The Grammys wanted to label BTS as "Asian pop." They said, No thanks. We're not 'Asian music.' We're pop. Put us in the main category.
GOOD. Enough with all the groups, labels, and categories. That's what caused all the controversy around The Odyssey. They had to check the Academy's boxes to be considered for an Oscar. These organizations can keep their awards if it means bowing to a system that puts arbitrary limits on artists.
Fastest albums to have all songs surpassing 200 million streams on Spotify!

🎙️ De Paul sobre a visita de Messi no Camp Nou:
"Antes de voarmos, Leo me surpreendeu. Ele olhou para mim, com aquele sorriso tranquilo, e disse: 'De Paul, antes de irmos, vamos passar por Barcelona, eu quero ver o Camp Nou'. Eu achei que ele estivesse só brincando, mas ele estava falando sério.
Então, pegamos um jato particular e voamos para Barcelona. Quando chegamos lá, ninguém sabia que estávamos lá.
Messi quis fazer essa visita em silêncio, sem câmeras, sem flashes, sem barulho... Ficamos no hotel de frente para o estádio, Messi sentou na varanda, ficou olhando fixamente para o Camp Nou e disse: 'Todo esse lugar guarda uma parte de mim.'
Depois do jantar, ele pediu para passarmos rapidamente no estádio. Chegando lá, Leo foi em direção ao centro do gramado e ficou ali, em silêncio. Lembrando de todas as glórias que ele presenciou lá."
BTS will not be submitting their music for consideration at next year's Grammy Awards in an apparent protest against the Recording Academy’s decision to introduce a separate new “Asian Pop” category, prompting the academy’s CEO Harvey Mason Jr. to defend the new category.
