![btschartsxdaily's tweet photo. [INFO] Many critics of the South Korean industry support #BTS's decision! 🇰🇷🔥
Im Jin-mo, a popular music critic assessed BTS's decision not to submit to the Grammys as "a declaration of musical independence that breaks the chains of Western-centric authority, and a restoration of subjectivity."
Critic Lim Jin-mo, who has consistently served as a commentator for the Grammy Awards, pointed, "While the Grammys put forward the justification of diversity for the newly established 'APMP' category, it is essentially a defensive and somewhat racist attempt to isolate K-pop into a peripheral category in order to protect the vested interests of mainstream music."
Lee Kyu-tak, a professor at George Mason University Korea and Director of the Global K-Center, pointed out that for BTS, who have achieved various accomplishments musically, commercially, and culturally, the Grammys tended to be regarded as "the ultimate goal they had to achieve." He noted, "It is true that whenever the Grammys came around, discussions about whether they would win consistently circulated among the media and fans, and there was a belief that they would only be 'truly' recognized in the United States if they won a Grammy."
However, the analysis noted, "The Grammys' creation of a separate 'APMP' award was tantamount to a declaration that Asian music (including K-pop and non-Western/non-English music) would be treated separately from the Grammys' 'main stage.' This implies that BTS, who are already established as musicians not only in Korea and the U.S. but globally, do not necessarily need to obsess over the Grammys." It continued, "Given that there would undoubtedly be debate among the media and fans regarding whether they accept the award or not under these circumstances, their voluntary refusal is significant in that it allows them to distance themselves from various controversies while clearly expressing their opposition to the Grammys treating non-Western/non-English music as a form of segregation."
Critic Im Jin-mo interprets BTS's recent decision as a resistance chosen instead of compromise in the face of the Grammys' conservatism, which prioritizes ratings and buzz while withholding fair evaluation. He viewed the decision not to submit as "a complete 'declaration of independence' from Grammy authority, signifying that they will no longer force K-pop's identity to conform to American standards."
Critic Lim also highlighted the potential impact that BTS's decision is expected to create. He pointed out, "Just as The Weeknd's past declaration of a Grammy boycott stirred up public opinion in the local music industry, the fact that a single Asian artist has rebelled against a massive awards ceremony and opened a forum for public discourse demanding change demonstrates immense influence in itself."

Dios me quiero pegar con toda la industria musical occidental (de cierto lugar sobre todo 🥴). Que vengan de uno a uno
... Ahora duele
like you know they didnt take this decision lightly
Que nunca nadie te calle
y muy probablemente al resto de grupos les falten cojones de hacer lo mismo que bts xddddd… ahora quien busca la validación de occidente????
Otra cosa que me llama la atención es que lo han anunciado todos por Instagram, por weverse no hay nada.
Weverse es un espacio para nosotros e interactuar y este mensaje no era solo para nosotras, supongo
@sugamystic Justo he dicho esto 😭😭 Menos mal que yo vi primero Twitter y estaba en contexto, sino estaba infartada de buena mañana sjsjsj
Por el idioma digo
Tengo una duda... SWIM y NORMAL no son elegibles para categorías fuera de la Asiática? O el álbum en sí?
SE HIZO CANON
Menos mal que he mirado Twitter antes que Instagram, porque yo recién despierta veo 7 historias (5 de ellas con fondo negro) con un texto serio que no entiendo y puede darle un chungo
7/7.
“we have decided not to submit for the grammys this year.
we hope that music can be heard and appreciated for what it is, rather than being defined by region or language.
thank you to army and to everyone who has always supported us.”
Hasta el siguiente tour, supongo :(
Yo sabía que el buen rollo y el quereros iba a durar lo que tardaran los chicos en irse de Europa 😔
