And im telling new the news are BIG BIG in Korea right now like DAMN

[💜PurpleRMon💜⁷ @PurpleRMon]

Daesangs used to be rare, but when a small label group outside the big 3 got one, suddenly everyone else was owed a daesang. Anyway, here's your kpop grammy!

@Ompeng FYI
Current Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. has a long-standing history as a music producer for SM Entertainment. Before leading the Grammys, he traveled to South Korea to write and produce hit tracks for major SM groups

All the Grammys needed was a best group category, that covered actual groups (not collabs), and it would have been fair.

[BTS Daily Chile⁷ @BTSDailyChile]

Hilo | Zeena Koda, una de las impulsoras de la creación de la categoría Best Asian Pop, compartió una serie de historias en Instagram tras la decisión de BTS de no presentar sus trabajos a los Grammy.

La gente no entiende lo complejo que es cambiar y desarrollar las categorías de los Grammy, ni cuál era el objetivo general de introducir a los artistas asiáticos como una fuerza relevante dentro de los Grammy.
Es realmente triste y desalentador ver cómo se ha tratado todo este tema, cuando tantas personas, detrás de escena, han trabajado para dar visibilidad a los artistas asiáticos dentro de los Grammy —algo que antes no existía—. Conseguir algún nivel de representación era una misión real para muchos de nosotros.
Esta es una categoría nueva y nada es perfecto en su primera versión. En muchos sentidos, esta ni siquiera era una categoría pensada para BTS. Estaba destinada a artistas que necesitan mayor visibilidad y oportunidades para destacar, no a superestrellas del pop con décadas de trayectoria.

I'm so glad that even US media are understanding the background behind it all. 🔥

All they had to do was separate collabs from actual groups. Forcing them into the same category was always dumb.

[Pop Base @PopBase]

Grammy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. responds to BTS’ decision to not submit their music for the 2027 awards, following the introduction of an Asian-focused category:

“I am saddened to hear that BTS has chosen not to participate in the Grammy Awards process this year, but as a music creator, I understand and respect their decision. […] I do want to clarify something that seems to be getting lost in the conversation. The Asian Pop category was created to celebrate the depth, diversity and extraordinary growth of pop artistry coming out of Asia. The spirit of this new category is to shine a dedicated spotlight on these important artists. More categories mean more artists’ work is recognized. It’s never to divide, but to expand who is recognized by our 15,000 Grammy voters. I also want to be very clear: submitting music in a genre category such as Asian Pop, or Jazz or Country does not exclude an artist from also submitting and being considered in the General Field categories, including Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Song of the Year. Those categories remain open to any eligible recording, regardless of genre. Recognition in a genre category and recognition in the General Field are not mutually exclusive. An artist can absolutely pursue both.”

For anyone who doesn't think BTS is in charge, there is no korean label that would take this stance and not submit for Grammys if they had even the slightest chance of getting one.

[💜PurpleRMon💜⁷ @PurpleRMon]

It's amazing it was possible to get BTS on radio stations in varying places across the USA early on. People assumed southern california would be easier, but it was among the worst. People in the music business are not nearly as liberal as they think they are.

[HITS @HITSDD]

BTS will not make a play for Grammy nominations this cycle.

The Korean group has decided not to submit any music from its blockbuster comeback album ARIRANG for the 2027 awards — despite being viewed as a strong contender in multiple categories.

A thread 🧵

tablo on instagram : ARIRANG > grammys

[💜PurpleRMon💜⁷ @PurpleRMon]

If BTS hold a concert the same night, they will get higher attendance. If BTS televise a concert the same night, they will get higher views. Just saying...

[Pop Base @PopBase]

BTS announces they will not submit their music for the 2027 GRAMMY awards, following the Recording Academy’s addition of an Asian-focused category:

“I hope music itself can be heard and loved rather than being distinguished by region or language.”

BTS and their nasty instrumentals

[💜PurpleRMon💜⁷ @PurpleRMon]

I wish there was an English version of Pied Piper because even 8 years later, that song is so smooth and well done, it could take over the music world with a little push. And the world needs to know it exists. (And then discover the korean version). @bts_bighit hear my plea.

[💜PurpleRMon💜⁷ @PurpleRMon]

An old friend has added Normal to the rotation.

[💜PurpleRMon💜⁷ @PurpleRMon]

In this era of BTS, Pied Piper would be title track level with a MV

[💜PurpleRMon💜⁷ @PurpleRMon]

I actually really like this for radio.

💬 | #RM comenta sobre 'Normal':

“"Normal" é uma música muito triste. Eu escrevi a letra em coreano e depois a traduzi para inglês para tocar no rádio e outras coisas, mas sim, existe uma versão coreana de "Normal". Os meninos até gravaram a versão coreana. Não sei se ela será lançada algum dia.

Enfim, querosene é o óleo que acende as lâmpadas. Um dia você me ama, um dia você diz que me odeia, tudo bem, me faça à prova de balas, para que eu não morra mesmo se você atirar em mim. Essa era a palavra-chave "Normal". Mas o que é normal para nós? Como vivemos como BTS, o que é normal para mim? Às vezes as pessoas me dizem que me amam e no outro dia me mandam embora, como um casal muito tóxico. As pessoas nos elevam mil vezes e nos derrubam mil vezes também.

"Two sides of a coin and they both ain't true" (Dois lados de uma moeda e nenhum dos dois é verdadeiro".)
Nem ambos os lados são verdadeiros. Por quê? Porque ambos os lados são verdadeiros e ambos os lados são falsos ao mesmo tempo. Não há ninguém que possa explicar essa equipe chamada BTS.
