Knetz & Iocals are cursing the living sh1t outta the Grammys rightnow. Everybody who's anybody is supporting BTS, ridiculing the new asian pop category and infact demanding the K-pop industry to follow BTS's footsteps. With the way things are going, any K-pop Act who submits to the Grammys after this is at a risk of public backlash and become a permanent disgrace in their own country.

يلي اقترح إضافة فئات آسيوية هو كيفن نيشيمورا رئيس شركة كاكاو يلي متعاقد بشكل رسمي مع شركة SM يلي هو احد اعضاء لجنة التحكيم لقرامي وحط فئة فرعية للقرامي بس عشان الفرق الأخرى ماتقدر تنافس على الجوائز الأساسية للحفل مثل بتس يعني حرفيا سواها عشان فلوب الكيبوب يطلعون من غرقهم 😭😭

O renomado produtor Sleep Deez, vencedor do Grammy, contou que conversou com membros da Academia da premiação e que a ideia inicial era usar o grupo BTS como cobaia da categoria Asian Pop e futuramente criar uma série de categorias específicas para asiáticos:

"Eu conversei com alguém que trabalha na Academia e eles disseram que (o BTS vencer) seria uma situação ganha-ganha pra premiação. O BTS ainda estava no exército quando eles começaram a criar esse prêmio. E o raciocínio era que o BTS provavelmente seria cotado pras categorias maiores com o retorno deles (...). A pessoa me disse que o prêmio não foi criado pro BTS, mas que estaria mentindo se dissesse que eles serem os primeiros a ganhar não seria o sonho do Grammy. Porque o BTS vencer o primeiro significaria que outros artistas no futuro iriam querer seguir o mesmo caminho e ganhar esse prêmio porque o BTS ganhou. (...) E aí a intenção era, mais artistas querem esse prêmio, (...) e eventualmente a categoria iria se expandir em categorias mais focadas em gêneros musicais específicos (pra Ásia), talvez até por país. E a minha resposta foi, 'Então vocês queriam usar o BTS como ratos de laboratório'. A pessoa disse que não gostava desse termo (...)."

🚨🎙️Eminem on BTS reportedly choosing not to submit a song for Grammy consideration:

"Good. I respect it. I've been saying for years that artists don't need a gold trophy to prove they're great. If BTS decided they don't need the Grammys, it's because they've already built one of the biggest fanbases in the world. The Grammys don't define greatness, they never have."

"Now, look at someone like Nicki Minaj. Whether you love her or not, her impact on hip-hop is undeniable, yet she's never won a Grammy, then look at Beyonce, she's good but not all that and yet she has the most Grammys?. It goes on to show why people keep questioning the system. It feels like industry politics and behind-the-scenes influence matter more than the music. That's why more artists are realizing they don't need the Grammys, the Grammys need them."

Maggie Kang, the director and writer of KPop Demon Hunters, showed her support for BTS' decision not to submit their music to the GRAMMYs this year.
