Mind you, this is exactly of rape culture is propagated. Men think that their association with abusers is okay just because they don’t do the same acts of violence. While not realizing that being friends with abusers UPLIFTS THEM, and makes the victims less safe.
i dont even wanna think about how many armys who have been victims of domestic abuse are reading these tweets saying that this isnt that deep and that we have bigger fish to fry, this fish is big enough for me!!
and ultimately my heart goes out to all the armys victims of domestic abuse that found a safe space in bts. i can’t even begin to imagine how seeing that must’ve felt. women deserve better.
BTS and HYBE's statement!
"We find it difficult to accept that this change in the Grammys' judging was made at a time when BTS was considered to have the highest chance of winning the main award." However, HYBE stated, "This is not a boycott at the company level." One official said, "If other artists from the same affiliation wish to participate, they will proceed as scheduled."
bts choosing not to submit their music to the grammys in the one year they were almost certainly in a position to earn nominations is such a powerful statement.
the recording academy created a category to separate asian artists instead of recognizing them alongside their peers, reflecting a long-standing lack of respect and equal recognition for artists across an entire continent and the world.
bts lives and breathes music.
this decision isn’t just about them: it’s about standing up for fairness, dignity, and the artists who come after them. they’re taking a meaningful step not only for themselves, but for asian artists and the global music community as a whole.
I couldn’t be prouder.
"We hope that music can be heard and loved for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language."
pretty much a direct fuck you to this bullshit ostracism they're starting next year
do you know how fucking refreshing it is to see an artist stand their fucking ground against a gigantic fucking institution in 2026. I feel vindicated, not only as an ARMY, but as a human. BTS, you will be good. you were always gonna be good, but it only confirms it.

"We have decided not to submit for this year's Grammys.
Rather than music being categorized by region or language, we hope music itself can be heard and loved for what it is.
We sincerely thank ARMY and everyone who is always with us"
