The New York Times discusses BTS withdrawing from Grammy consideration:
"The largest Asian entertainment companies, with lots of new acts to promote, may not want to fight that system on principle. But BTS, possibly the biggest act in the world since Jackson, is perhaps the only Korean recording act with the freedom and leverage to spark a reckoning.
So will this be a moment where artists and entrepreneurs conspire to force the major institutions of this business to break its addiction to racism dressed up as demography?
Every artist, whether BTS or Bad Bunny, deserves access to the largest market without being filtered out or qualified."
