I noticed people posting his address yet it gets taken down.
I think the CEO should just compromise on his privavcy; what makes him think his privacy is worth more than mine?

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.

I saw a Trump supporter say, “You don’t have to like Trump but you have to respect him because he’s the president.”

Sir, with all disrespect… he raped kids. I don’t have to do shit.

No 29 is not a song and it's not eligible on BB chart too. All songs In ARIRANG DID SURPASS 200M and so it broke TLOAS Record

O renomado produtor Sleep Deez, vencedor do Grammy, contou que conversou com membros da Academia da premiação e que a ideia inicial era usar o grupo BTS como cobaia da categoria Asian Pop e futuramente criar uma série de categorias específicas para asiáticos:

"Eu conversei com alguém que trabalha na Academia e eles disseram que (o BTS vencer) seria uma situação ganha-ganha pra premiação. O BTS ainda estava no exército quando eles começaram a criar esse prêmio. E o raciocínio era que o BTS provavelmente seria cotado pras categorias maiores com o retorno deles (...). A pessoa me disse que o prêmio não foi criado pro BTS, mas que estaria mentindo se dissesse que eles serem os primeiros a ganhar não seria o sonho do Grammy. Porque o BTS vencer o primeiro significaria que outros artistas no futuro iriam querer seguir o mesmo caminho e ganhar esse prêmio porque o BTS ganhou. (...) E aí a intenção era, mais artistas querem esse prêmio, (...) e eventualmente a categoria iria se expandir em categorias mais focadas em gêneros musicais específicos (pra Ásia), talvez até por país. E a minha resposta foi, 'Então vocês queriam usar o BTS como ratos de laboratório'. A pessoa disse que não gostava desse termo (...)."

btw ARIRANG producers were hyping up the album everywhere & if they choose to submit the album for engineering/technical categories i won’t blame them. it's normal for them to ask for recognition of their hard work. so if we see ARIRANG submission, let’s not attack them please 🙏🏼

[Kalorie @kewchiy]

and this is why bad bunny winning AOTY as a man with a full length Spanish album was monumental.

Shakira has had such important projects but they reduced her albums to only Spanish categories because she’s a latina and a woman.

Good for BTS. Fight your fight hun.💙

Updated @MercedesAMGF1 Crimes Against George Russell

Barcelona-Catalunya:
Started from pole. Then he was brought in first, with the strategy deliberately changed to help AKA close the gap, without even informing George. As a result, he kept driving in tyre-saving mode. He was pitted while his tyres still had no real degradation, wasting his tyre advantage. During the stop, the team also adjusted the front wing incorrectly, putting the car into serious oversteer, as later admitted in the Race Debrief. That was why his lap times collapsed at the end and he was overtaken. Mercedes destroyed his chance at P1. And when he stood on the podium for his 100th race with Mercedes, the team was too busy comforting his DNF teammate to even show up.

Monaco:
After qualifying, George reported that the car had less grip than in FP3 and was suffering from oversteer. So why was the car suddenly changed after FP3? In the race, he had a real shot at P3 or P4, with a 15-second gap available before the pit stop phase. Yet the team seemed entirely focused on their other driver and failed to remember the 5-second pit-lane speeding penalty. What should have been a podium fight turned into a finish outside the points. And after the race, the pit-lane speeding penalty was proven to be an FIA error, but Mercedes did not appeal for him or even attend the hearing. Out of all 11 teams, only two teams were absent: Mercedes and Williams. Williams had no driver penalised in the case, so their absence was understandable. Mercedes, however, stayed away even though their own driver had suffered the consequences. Seven days later, only after public pressure grew too loud, Mercedes finally appealed.

Montreal:
Pole in Sprint Qualifying. P1 in the Sprint. Pole in Grand Prix Qualifying. Leading the race in P1. And yet, from later interviews, we learned that even in Montreal, the car still wasn’t exactly comfortable for him to drive. He was simply extremely strong at this circuit and managed to take P1 through constant adjustments and compensation. Because this car is not built around him. Every upgrade, every setup direction, every development trend is shaped around the other driver. In the end, a battery failure took him from P1 to DNF.

Miami:
Poor qualifying release strategy. At Miami, going out later is usually an advantage, yet they sent George out first with fuel for two laps.
Another setup failure. For most of the race, the car simply wasn’t in the window. Then, in the final 10 laps, George adjusted the settings himself and suddenly found the pace. He immediately gained around 0.8 seconds per lap, proving the setup had been wrong from the start. Fixing the car’s setup shouldn’t be the driver’s job.

Suzuka:
Setup failure. The car was sliding everywhere, forcing George to compensate by adjusting the front wing balance and limiting the car’s pace.
Before his pit stop, George said the tyres were fine, suggesting there was no need to pit yet, but the team trusted the data over the driver. He pitted straight into a yellow flag situation. What should have been P2 became P4.

Shanghai: Forgot to ignite the car properly. The car stopped on track in Q2. What should have been P1 became P2.

At this point, Mercedes looks less like a racing team and more like an organisation willing to disrespect its own people, ignore accountability, and collectively bully a loyal and talented driver who has given years of his career to the team.
