Solo BTS... Lee bien: SOLO BTS / ONLY BTS. No me interesa nadie más/ I'm not interested in anyone else.

if we see this situation smartly, we actually have an open opportunity in front of us to talk about arirang for aoty now.
if you go on tiktok, many non-bts accs are talking about the new category. the key is to be strategic and diplomatic. talk about arirang and swim by not just saying "it deserves" but actually mention the metrics.

its time to move people we can shift a lot of things.

Si no los nominan en las categorías fuertes, pero sí en las nuevas categorías asiáticas que se sacaron del culo, espero que los chicos ni siquiera se presenten al evento. Que su rating se hunda en el suelo, pinches Grammys

[lily ☆ @mainlyguk]

it’s insane how in a couple of years kpop artists will start winning grammys bc of the new asian category and their fans will still look you in the eyes and say it wasn’t bts that paved the way and made it way easier for their favs to get global recognition… baby we made you

[Lights @LUISABIESTARE]

@jane03_j @_sdl93 BTS is already far above that shitty kpop... stay with your niche

[𝑨𝒓𝒊-𝒉𝒉𝒉⁷ ᵃʳⁱʳᵃⁿᵍ @yourglosssy]

Who do you want to win the award before BTS? Khiakids?? Or those groups with no impact outside Korea??? Be serious pls😭
BTS is the only group that truly dominATEs globally with their talent, your faves could never!😭

[𓍯⁷ @teeheehyung]

Woke up angry, but let’s look at the facts. BTS literally forced the Grammys to create a new category. racist as shit, xenophobic and a scam yet still the peak of music recognition. No matter the backstory, BTS did that. While ARMY calls out the racism they dealt with, the rest of the K-pop industry should be on their knees thanking them for paving the way. This also happened the year BTS came back with the strongest album of 2026 & industry plants aren’t holding up against it. So yes, this was the final nail to the coffin of BTS PAVED THE WAY argument.

bey won #they introduced contemporary country category, bad bunny won #they introduced latin category, tyla won #they introduced afrobeats category, and now bts released the biggest album of this year #they introduced asian category. u see the fucking pattern.

Van a encerrar a los asiaticos en una sola categoría y dejar fuera a bts de las categorías principales en los grammos.

Esto se convertirá en inkigayo, nominaran a varios grupos nugus al lado de bts como si estuvieran a su mismo nivel y fueran competencia para ellos, cuando bts años anteriores y en este año han superando a sus artistas gringos en varias cosas, ningún grupo nugu del kpop está al nivel que ellos y ahora harán esto, que asco todo

[NOVA @Narahaadel]

If a Western artist had released this album, it would’ve won way more than 19 Grammys by now

Míralos como se adjudican los logros de BTS y de las barreras qué rompió BTS.
Esa categoría se hizo por el miedo de los Grammys a BTS, no de tus flacas que no destacan si no se pegan como una sanguijuela de un western

Mike WiLL Made-It, who worked on 2.0 and Aliens, reposted a Complex post calling ARIRANG the best album of 2026 so far. 🔥 I don’t agree with everything in the complex post, but producers are hyping the album so much. We all know it’ll likely be submitted for every major award category possible, so please 🙏🙏keep streaming and talking about Arirang….🔥💜

[aru⁷ ⋆ @baesggukie]

and thanks to bts for paving the way for kpop

[sdl ٭ @_sdl93]

the bts’s impact is huge that you have grammy’s racist ass creating asian category just bc they can’t ignore BTS’s impact.

[𝑽𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒆⁷ @vinnie_ethv]

This will happen now

[RJ @rapjinnies]

yk what pissing me off even more is the fact that they only mentioned east asian music as a part of the nominees as if asia is limited to only korea japan and china 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 just a bunch of useless racists making excuses

[arshia⁷ | yoongi misser @cyclingwithjoon]

at the end of the day, “this group surpassed BTS” and “this group achieved this faster than BTS” arent the drags people think they are.

if every achievement has to be contextualized through BTS, then BTS remains the benchmark. the comparison itself ends the debate.
