comparing "asian pop" with jazz or country categories when those are music GENRES and the other one is a geographical label i knew americans weren't the brightest but it will always surprise me

[The people need BTS! @JoonzDiamond]

“Gonna listen to Asian while I workout today”

You see how STUPID that sounds?

[ri⁷ IS SEEING BTS🪭 @tanniesflwr]

adele is not american yet she beat beyonce in 2017. why didn’t they make a british grammy for her ? why did they make a traditional country category when beyonce won? “asian” is even not a genre and it’s not just limited to kpop. segregating music by ethnicity is fucking WEIRD

[Katchimolala @permylastemail7]

Anyone that enters into that category is basically saying they are ok with being segregated.

Power move to force people to show their true colors.

Chung Tae-young, CEO de Hyundai Card, manifestó públicamente su respaldo a la decisión de BTS de no presentar sus trabajos para consideración en los GRAMMY Awards 2027.

A través de una publicación en Instagram, el ejecutivo expresó que comprende la postura del grupo tras la incorporación de la categoría “Best Asian Pop Music Performance”, señalando que, en su opinión, este tipo de divisiones podrían limitar la participación de los artistas asiáticos en las categorías generales.

Durante su reflexión, cuestionó si crear una categoría exclusiva para el pop asiático favorece la inclusión o, por el contrario, establece una separación basada en el origen de los artistas. Como ejemplo, mencionó que, bajo esa misma lógica, otros géneros o artistas de distintas regiones también podrían ser relegados a categorías específicas.

Asimismo, destacó que clasificar la música según el idioma presenta inconsistencias, recordando que BTS ha interpretado canciones en inglés y que este idioma forma parte de la vida cotidiana en diversos países de Asia.

Para concluir, Chung comparó esta situación con la música clásica, afirmando que considerar obras como las de Richard Wagner y Giuseppe Verdi como expresiones artísticas distintas únicamente por el idioma en que fueron escritas sería un razonamiento difícil de sostener.

Las declaraciones del CEO se suman a la conversación internacional que ha surgido tras la decisión de BTS, reavivando el debate sobre si la música debe ser evaluada sin distinción de idioma o procedencia.

[BTS Charts @btschartdata]

“Aliens” is currently #1 on iTunes in 24 countries worldwide

[🎈 @softmusees]

the way africans are making more sense in the quotes than the people who stan kpop and claim to support Asians damn😭

[Jodel_keji @taeslawyer]

Same way they call every African music afrobeats , then end up giving afrobeats award to an amapiano artist. Grammys are racist af

[BTS Charts @btschartdata]

Aliens has reached #1 on UK iTunes

[Lizz💤🥢⊙⊝⊜ taegi enthusiasts ᯓᡣ𐭩 @polarnight613]

Bad bunny, Shakira's fandom and all African fans seriously making me cry, they're the one who understood why bts did and how much it was needed to bring a change, if only k-pop industry and asian acts supported them the same way...

[dee💽saw bts @karxjoon]

Even Bad Bunny fans get it yet there’s still gonna be kpop stans in qrts trying to twist BTS’ intent

[🏡 @homeisjungkook]

it’s a win for us. any group that does submit for a category that was created to segregate Asian artists will go down in history as spineless and desperate. BTS have integrity, self-respect, and strength in genuine support— the most admirable award there is.

[dee the astronaut @zonequal]

And nobody will be standing next to BTS in this battle btw in fact the kpop industry will celebrate them not submitting instead of standing up with them against this blatant xenophobia 🫩

[into the sun enthusiast ⋆˚𖥔 ݁ @lybtsv]

“BTS is seeking western validation” crowd is very silent #noticing

Kpop stans insane hatred for BTS have them cheering for and defending racism... racism....

[CNN @CNN]

BTS will not submit music for consideration at next year’s Grammy Awards, members of the K-pop supergroup announced, a little over a month after the Recording Academy confirmed that the 2027 ceremony will include an Asian pop music performance category for the first time. https://t.co/XMBE6NjpOi

[♡ @amlysbang]

BTS announced their hiatus. When nobody expected them to. They fulfilled their country's national duty. Without hesitation. They came back after four years. People doubted them. Said they were over. Said the industry had moved on. Then they released ARIRANG. The biggest. The boldest. The most artistically ambitious projects of the year. Ended the Western Darlings.

And now they've chosen NOT to submit their music to the Grammys, taking a stand against a system they believe categorizes music by region and language.

That's power. Not chasing the industry.
That's how history is written. That's how the industry changes.

[vee @jimisite]

and notice how everything’s written in korean and there’s not a single english word in sight. they really said you wanna know what i’m saying, go ahead and translate it then

[kate⁷ seeing bts! 🍃 @kooks_euphoriaa]

Anyone who was here since 2021 knows how big this is, bts has always been treated like shit by them nonstop for years dragged along for views but never truly acknowledged. This category addition was the most ridiculous thing yet so I couldn’t be more proud of the tannies decision
