The way no one outside of Twitter knows Jungkook is singing this part live every night, because cameras can't freaking stay on him when he sings and we can only rely on fancam to enjoy his performance...
Indian Today cooked Grammy & Zeena Koda with this😭😭
BTS never asked for the category to disappear. They never suggested other Asian artists should reject it. Nor did they dismiss the work of those who fought for its creation. Instead, they drew a boundary around themselves++
OUCH.
"Each of the seven members posted the same brief statement announcing that the group would not submit its music to the Grammys this year, adding a hope that music might be heard and loved for what it is rather than sorted by region or language.
Big Hit Music asked that the statement be taken as written, and taken as written it is remarkable, because it asks for nothing. A boycott makes demands. This made none, set no conditions, named no grievance, and offered the Recording Academy no way to win them back. You negotiate with an institution whose judgment you still need. The one whose judgment you have outgrown, you simply inform.
[...]
An award has no value of its own; it is worth exactly what the wanting of it is worth, and the wanting must be freely given. For five years the biggest band on earth gave it freely, showing up, performing, losing, returning, lending the ceremony the one asset it cannot manufacture, the sight of someone enormous still hoping.
That hope was always the Grammys' property more than BTS's weakness. It has now been withdrawn, without anger, without demands, in a statement short enough to fit on a phone screen, by seven men who knocked at a door for years and were at last, generously, offered a smaller one."
i think it's worth noting that bts made this announcement just after we watched in real time as fifa omitted their names from official posts and delayed putting up their performance. i think bts are very much as aware as we are that the industry doesn't like that their success.
bb changed their rules MULTIPLE times to directly hinder bts' ability to chart, Spotify has spent the last week glitching streams from Normal and splitting versions so bts can't claim more records. and everyone knows why the scammys made that category.
its genuinely the world against bts and army are all they have, save for ONE k-artist willing to stand by them.
i dont think y’all realize how fucking cool it is to just openly announce you are not submitting for the grammys because of their mistreatment. it takes a lot to have that kind of courage. they said FUCK that racist organization. BTS are truly the most inspiring artists ever

the best part of this whole missing ring incident is jungkook’s face. he isn’t panicked, stressed, or upset, he’s just like “oh do one of you have it? okay good hold onto it, I’ll get it in a second!” HE REALLY IS OUR BEST FRIEND LOOK AT HIM 😭
