Recording Academy member Adam Merter Birson on BTS at the GRAMMYs 2027:
— "BTS ARMY should make a push for ARIRANG to win Album of the Year and not be marginalized with Best Asian Pop Music category. I think it's great if smaller artists could get recognized, but not BTS. BTS is way too big and way too important of a group to be falling into this trap."
“since we’re aliens to the music industry for america we don’t know if there’s a place for us or not. the grammys aren’t as the hot 100 it’s not numbers we don’t know what is going on.”
bts literally spoke about the racism they faced in the west.
just want to remind people bts broke into the western industry when there was no space for them. kpop idols joined the industry after space was made for them due to bts’ impact. the grammys would’ve never made that category if it wasn’t for bts.
