bey won #they introduced contemporary country category, bad bunny won #they introduced latin category, tyla won #they introduced afrobeats category, and now bts released the biggest album of this year #they introduced asian category. u see the fucking pattern.
The Grammys are receiving MASSIVE BACKLASH for Introducing the "Best Asian Pop Music Performance" Award.
People are furious that Asian artists are being separated from the International Level.
Indian music market is one of the biggest music markets in the world but granny would only limit their asian pop category for kpop jpop & cpop not to mention many Indian Artists have won grammies before!
Funnily enough there was no talk to create an Asian category for the past few years when BTS were away on a hiatus. @RecordingAcad
The second BTS returns from their military hiatus and drops an album, awards shows suddenly need to create an Asian category again🤔
the only thing im already mad about is knowing almost everyone in the kpop sphere will change how they record albums but only bts getting crucified for it
the reason these categories were created is mainly racism. stop acting dumb to discredit bts. this category exists bc of them. remember every kpop category in western award shows was created bc of BTS and only kpop is being benefited from it unlike bts.
quando o ato mais bem sucedido de 2026 é um grupo asiático é claro que eles criariam uma categoria para os colocarem numa caixa e os deixarem de fora das categorias principais. bts nao incomodou apenas fas de diva pop com arirang, ne? kkkkkkkk
Grammys had all the time for the past years to make the Asian category but didn't until bts came back from the military. Same how Vmas admitted that they made the K-pop category thanks to BTS 😂
