ARMYs, year end awards are closer than you think, SWIM still needs us. Keep streaming on all platforms. Swim could miss major year-end awards if we don't increase or balance it's streams. Korean predictions aren't favoring it either. Don't forget to stream SWIM with ARIRANG.

[NEWS] Kim Oujoon, a prominent and influential South Korean journalist & political commentator who has shaped liberal political discourse in South Korea says "#BTS's Grammy withdrawal will remain a landmark in world cultural history for a long time."
"The Grammys see themselves as the most prestigious music awards with no fan-voting or even commercial success criteria, and yet they created a side door, just like MTV. This was basically saying, "Asia, come in through the side door. Separate but equal. The same logic that has normalized racial segregation in America for the past century."
"When MTV did this 7 years ago, BTS still attended despite the controversy. And after criticism, MTV nominated them in main categories outside 'Best K-pop'. But this time, in 2026, BTS said enough is enough and declared to the American mainstream music industry, "We're not using the side door anymore." And they refused."
"An artist from outside of America boycotted the supposedly most prestigious award in music and declared, "You are out of step with the times."

So acc to k-armys the korean "critics" are holding back from commenting against the RA but instead DEFENDING 👵 cuz they have connections with the korean agencies.
No wonder every other kpop is silent bc they do want the nominations & wins that their lables made deals for.
Some critics 3 days ago in SK, downplayed BTS and said they had no chance either. Today Kim Ou-joon one of the biggest critics in Korea explained how BTS' decision was important for the entire world history in music. And some Koreans Comments on it whacking the previous critics.

An Academy representative reportedly said BTS Grammy performance videos were removed due to expired licensing agreements, not the group's Grammy rejection. The representative said such removals are standard practice, as performance licenses typically last one year or less.
