“it’s gonna be harder for smaller asian artists because of bts” so you believe the academy is going to punish all asian artists bc BTS refused to play along. and that’s the institution you wish to support and want to keep as the pinnacle of music recognition? ok LMAO
During the first 48 hours, the news focused on BTS’ statement. It was a shock to the industry and no one expected it.
Then the RA responded quickly extending coverage another day, primarily due to the AP running a second story, which got picked up by hundreds of syndicated outlets. The committee members crashouts got picked up by social media, K media, and blogs further damaging the RA’s reputation.
The coverage has now shifted to analysis and opinion pieces. Expect more of that over the weekend. Continue posting thoughtful comments on the media’s social posts. They’ll be reading them for research.
The next wave of coverage could come from:
-BTS says anything else
-another prominent Asian artist follows suit (not counting on this)
-the RA indicates any changes
-Submission deadline (news will bring up statement again)
-when nominations are announced
Those are just a few possibilities.
👉What ARMY can do: Show that BTS doesn’t need the RA for validation. Continue streaming and buying. Keep talking about why they and Arirang deserve to be recognized and critically acclaimed. Post thoughtful analysis under positive media coverage.

This BTS era is wild. They haven't given K-media, K-music shows, the industry, or the GRAMMYS one single crumb. A true CULTURAL RESET is happening right in front of our eyes. THIS IS WHAT TRUE POWER LOOKS LIKE!
