Que los GRAMMYS hayan eliminado las presentaciones de Dynamite y Butter de su sitio web, es la razón para darse cuenta lo xenófobicos que son con los artistas que no son americanos.
"BTS' decision not to enter their music is a blow to the Grammys' prestige but the biggest impact could be the Grammy telecast losing a powerhouse draw." lol
THE MOST ICONIC PHRASE ON MUSIC INDUSTRY
“We hope music will be recognized and loved for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language”
#WeStandWithBTS
BTS are—and will remain—the only ones with the courage to make such a decision. After years of the Grammys benefiting from their global impact, responding by creating a separate category only highlights the treatment they have received. Their decision not to submit what many consider their best album speaks to principles, dignity, and a refusal to settle for half-hearted recognition.
#WeStandWithBTS
QUE ORGULLO 7/7! EL HECHO DE QUE LOS SIETE PUBLICARON EN SUS HISTORIAS LO MISMO SOBRE LOS GRAMMYS, ellos en verdad lo dijeron por todo lo que esos premios están queriendo hacer, f*ck grammys 🔥👏
"Hemos decidido no presentar nuestra música a los Grammy este año. Esperamos que la música se escuche y se ame por sí misma por lo que es sin distinciones en vez de que se divida por región o idioma. Gracias a ARMY y a todos los que nos apoyan."
BTS will not be submitting their music for Grammy consideration following the introduction of the Asian-focused category, ‘Best Asian Pop Music Performance’:
“We hope our music can be heard and loved for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language.”
"Pero a medida que BTS sigue rompiendo récords y los Grammy siguen perdiendo relevancia, quién necesita realmente a quién?"
ESTAS PALABRAS FUERON TAN CIERTAS, Y AHORA QUE ESOS PREMIOS QUIEREN HACER DE MENOS A LOS ARTISTAS ASIATICOS PARA QUE SUS GRINGOS NO SEAN OPACADOS, BTS decidió no presentar sus canciones a los grammys y es una gran decisión que pudieron tomar, orgullo decir que sigo al grupo correcto ♡
🐹 “Éramos fans de artistas que hablaban idiomas diferentes al nuestro, pero no los juzgábamos por eso.”
🐹 “Yo era fan de ellos y aún lo soy, y no creo que un idioma sea una barrera.”
SEOKJIN AQUI HABLO CON TODA LA VERDAD DEL MUNDO, ELLOS SON ARTISTAS DE ADMIRAR 👏🔥
Multiple major news outlets have reached out to the Recording Academy for a statement regarding BTS's stance against the new Asian Pop Category and it's been almost half a day of silence from their end.
[News] BTS has declared that they will not submit their music to next year's Grammy Awards. Stating that music should not be categorized by region and language, they delivered a sharp jab at the Grammys for recently creating a new Asian music category.
All seven members of BTS posted simultaneous messages on their social media stating they would not be submitting their work to the Grammy Awards. They wrote that they hope music can be heard and loved for what it is, rather than being categorized by region or language.
Previously, The Recording Academy, which hosts the Grammy Awards, established the "Best Asian Pop Music Performance" category starting next year. They set criteria requiring the use of an Asian language in a meaningful way and for the music to be based in or recognized locally within Asia. Although they explained this as recognition of Asian Pop's growing influence in the global music industry, criticism arose that this move creates a barrier rather than expanding diversity. The criticism points out that it confines K-pop to "Asian Pop" rather than global pop music, effectively blocking K-pop stars from winning awards in the main categories.
Even after sweeping the Billboard Music Awards and the American Music Awards, BTS continued to knock on the door of the Grammys. Through hit songs like "Dynamite" and "Butter," they were nominated for three consecutive years starting in 2021, but ultimately failed to win.
Fans voiced their support on the Grammys' official social media accounts, posting comments such as "BTS doesn't need to prove themselves through a Grammy Award".
Kim Doheon (Pop Music Critic):
"Through this declaration, I expect the controversy to intensify over what Asian Pop truly is and what issues Asian artists (submitting to the Grammys) are contemplating."
Boasting one of the most powerful fandoms in the world, attention is focused on what changes BTS's decision will bring to the Western-centric music industry, including the Grammy Awards.
