bts vocals are not boring, they have different vocal colors.

“One of the biggest misconceptions in the West is that BTS is the K-pop golden child. They were not accepted by the hip-hop community or K- pop and were just stuck in limbo for the longest. And then after taking all this time to get soul discovered, the West just thinks you are a box that you never were even accepted in.
And so here you are fighting, trying to prove a point, showing your introspection, hitting us with the Carl Jung, but then they're still looking at you like, dance, you guys are just K-pop.
And so what you actually a see when you take time with this song (ALIEN) is a dual consciousness. Whenever they're speaking English, it's this like, y'all just want us to play it cool, performative mask, all right. But then when they switch back to Korean, it's an internal cultural anchor highlighting that they are Kim Gu's greatest dream. They are the representation everything that he said he wanted for Korea.
If you read this essay called 'my desire', you recognize all he wanted for the country was for it to be beautiful in culture. Wasn't about power, it wasn't about money, it was about how can we build and create something so beautiful that the entire world can see its beauty, that the entire world despite maybe not being able to speak the language can see its beauty. And BTS is recognizing that hey, that's where we are, but also that won't be accepted by those who are caught up on power and money.”

Every artist, whether BTS or Bad Bunny, deserves access to the largest market without being filtered out or qualified. The solution isn't about getting rid of special markets or categories. Folk, for example, is a real thing, and if it benefits folk to have discrete awards and institutions, great. It's pop that needs to be examined, because pop is the biggest market and yet admission to it still seems largely subjective.

Artists and their managers should scrutinize record companies for the way they exclude artists from their pop departments. Labels and artists should challenge playlisters at streaming services and radio station programmers about how they wield the term "pop" for some but not for others. The Recording Academy should stop inventing new award categories, especially ones based on ethnicity, nationality or language, when people aren't asking for them every division separates its occupants from the larger, more profitable market. And if those Pop Performance awards or pop playlists cannot be defined musically or aesthetically, perhaps they shouldn't exist.

What BTS did isn't a boycott, y'all. Don't be misled by media outlets' poor word choices. A boycott is a withdrawal of support effective until a demand is met. BTS made no demands. This wasn't a negotiation. It was a repudiation. And it was the RA that burned the bridge, not BTS.

@JustinSeagullO7 All these years kpoop fans kept on screaming BTS is desperate for western validation. Now I'll be waiting for groups who will submit for this category that is now basically irrelevant. Who is desperate now? Karma really is an ARMY.

Koreli bir vatandaşın grammy ve BTS hakkında yazdıkları gündem olmuş, benim de okurken tüylerim diken diken oldu diye paylaşmak istedim:

başlık: ülke toprağımız küçük olabilir, peki ya gökyüzümüz de mi küçük?

“Kore büyük bir ülke değil, global müzik sektörünün merkezinde hiçbir zaman yer almadı. korece de, ingilizcenin aksine, her gidilen yerde konuşulan ve anlaşılan bir dil de değil. ama küçük bir toprak parçasında doğduk diye bakış açımızı küçük bir gökyüzüyle sınırlayacak değiliz.

BTS, korece şarkılar söyleyerek Pasifik okyanusunu ve Atlas okyanusunu aştı. farklı dilleri konuşan insanlar onların şarkılarını hep bir ağızdan söyledi. kimileri yalnızlığına yoldaş buldu, kimileri kendini sevmeyi öğrendi, kimileri ise çaresizliğin ortasında yeniden yaşama tutunacak o gücü buldu.

eğer grammy onlara bir ödül verirse bunu onlarla birlikte sevinçle kutlarız ama vermezseler de BTS'in yarattığı bu dünya küçülüp gitmeyecek. hiçbir unvan veya etiket, BTS'in müziğinin yankılandığı gökyüzünü daraltamaz.

bir ödül, müzisyenin ellerindedir ancak bir şarkı ise insanın kalbindedir.

bir ödül rafının sınırları vardır ancak bir şarkının uçabileceği gökyüzünün ise asla sınırları yoktur.

bizim gökyüzümüz, Kore Yarımadasıyla sınırlı değil. Pasifik ve Atlas okyanusunu aşarak, ülkelerin ödül salonlarının ya da bölge ve dile göre ayrılmış sınırlarının ötesine geçiyor.

ve işte o gökyüzü, tüm evrene ulaşıyor. BTS'in müziği de o evreni doldurmaya her zaman devam edecek.”

hace 30 años, Tupac criticó a los Grammys por ser una industria controlada por gente desconectada del arte y del cambio. Años después, Namjoon hace referencia a él en 2.0: “Hit ’em up like (Tu)Pac. Hit ’em with the truth like Ra(kim)”

(Atácalos como Tupac. Enfréntalos con la verdad como Rakim)

ironíco que BTS esté haciendo exactamente eso, decir la verdad y desafiar un sistema que durante años los uso mientras les negaba el reconocimiento, ARIRANG es más de lo que pensamos

NYC mayor, Zohran Mamdani, tried to break through the state troopers to stop the mass deportations while shouting:

'DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE 1st AMENDMENT?'

This IS what it looks like when a leader is fighting for humanity. 👏
