remember when taehyung appeared on first take, a popular japanese show where artists sing live in one take. there is no edits and retakes and there were accusations of voice modulation cause he sounded just like the studio version 😭
2023 with jungkook was genuinely so FUN. this man did 30 lives, fell asleep on live and started snoring, changed into 3 diff outfits, folding underwear, showed us magic tricks, made makguksu, exposed his tiktok, did bed lives, doing the most random things ever 😭
This is SO TERRIFYING!
And mind you SK had the chance to build a separate entrance for artists/VIPs but scrapped the idea because the public thought was a big “privilege”, bc they enjoy treat artists like animals for their own entertainment. I can't imagine how anxious they feel
look what bts have built. when u have people from all walks of life fervently loving ur art, why would u give a fuck about some award that claims itself to be global but keeps sitting u and anyone that doesn’t fit their agenda at the kids table??
bts are the TRUE global ones.
Dear Grammys, BTS' legacy never needed validation | @filmybugB
For over a decade, the question surrounding BTS was always the same: When will they win a Grammy? Perhaps we were asking the wrong question. Because after everything BTS have achieved, the more interesting one is this: What happens when the world’s biggest band decides it no longer needs to ask for a seat at the table?
In a unified statement shared across all seven members’ Instagram accounts, RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook wrote, “We have decided not to enter the Grammys this year. I hope music itself can be heard and loved rather than being distinguished by region or language.”
Three sentences only, and it may well be the most consequential statement the group has made about the global music industry in years.

“Their career has been built on proving that a song in Korean can make someone in Sao Paulo cry, someone in Mumbai dance and someone in Los Angeles sing along without understanding every word.
To then be celebrated primarily through the lens of where that music comes from, rather than where it reaches, feels almost contrary to the very revolution they helped create. . . .”
This article is so well written!
