#BTS_twt I'm always saying how they changed my life. Today is not different. Living with anxiety it's the worst part of my life, and the best it's definitely my family, army and bangtan. I grew believing that I was alone. Today I can say how much BTS has changed the way I think
Sleep Deez, a well-respected producer who has worked with BTS, has confirmed via his inside source at the Grammys that BTS were, in fact, gonna be the guinea pigs/test dumbies/poster child for the "Asian Pop Performance" category.
They wanted to legitimize it as a "win-win" for both BTS and the segregation of Asian artists by the Academy. What they did NOT expect was that BTS would have self-respect/self-worth and thought they would be DESPERATE for western/Grammys validation. That is why you see them coke ranting on every social media platform.
Forbes on the Grammys' new “Best Asian Pop Music Performance” category:
— “Nobody created a ‘Best European Pop Music Performance’ category for Dua Lipa or Ed Sheeran.”
Omg, BTS would have lost if they had agreed to submit for the Asian category. Kakao and SM Entertainment have established a direct, internal bridge into the Recording Academy voting board because of the Gold Music Alliance Nishimura created. How did the Grammys even allow this major conflict of interest to happen? Letting a man who simultaneously leads Kakao Entertainment Global and SM Entertainment America have so much power is crazy. They turn around and say it’s for the benefit of all Asian artists. No, dear. Y'all just want SM artists to ride the wave of BTS's global success while BTS gets the short end of the stick.

Seems like there is not a single sane person in that organisation. This is the 3rd RA member coming out in public, being totally bitter & throwing a fit. FYI: BTS didnt even say anything, they just informed their fans that they aint submitting this year.
@rkivedisco@polishop Olá, @polishop . O influenciador Igor Albuquerque, que divulga a marca, está nos prints fazendo E colaborando com comentários depreciativos sobre um grupo de k-pop (prints anexos). Acreditamos que essa conduta não represente os valores da marca.

the timing of a new “asian pop” category while a major asian act is having one of the most successful albums globally really exposes the problem: it’s segregation and not inclusion.
when non western artists are still underrepresented in major categories, it doesn’t feel like recognition for the asian music market, but containment. they deserve to win, but they cannot, so let’s give them a candy that excludes them a bit further. at least it looks pretty, right?
it’s unfortunate how the “how are you so shameless” line from aliens always hits.
