BTS said it in Black Swan. They were never afraid of losing fame or popularity. What they feared was losing their love passion for music. And that’s what has always set them apart. They have stayed sincere to their art and that’s what made BTS who they are
"When BTS achieves something, they say the success belongs to Kpop.
When BTS refuses to participate in segregation, they say it is between Grammys and BTS.
No wonder they have yet to find the next BTS."
I agree, have you seen the 7 sets of balls our boys have?
paving the way doesnt always mean the first to win an award, it means the one who makes impact where it matters and allows for those who follow in their footsteps to be seen and treated fairly too. that is what bts are doing, and that takes courage
K-pop fans naively believe the Recording Academy will treat their favs fairly and not be racist to them and laughing at BTS’s decision, failing to realize that their favs simply aren’t as big or to that scale to be perceived as a threat to the Western music industry yet.
laugh all you want, but we are under the same hood you like it or not. & as for the statement from the boys, that’s a statement for ALL of the kpop industry. it set a precedent that protects and shapes the entire K-pop industry. bc the industry will remain xenophobic and racist to YOU all. BTS are the undisputed outliers of the k-industry, and your favs know and believe that too. BTS just shielded the broader genre from the institutional racism and xenophobia they themselves had to fight through, establishing a blueprint that ultimately benefits and elevates everyone in the market. because they have a backbone! You must know what opting out of the Grammys really mean before making a statement.
If there’s no BTS, there’s no scope for your favs either. well, there is actually.. a category that BTS paved the way for.
All seven BTS members stand united in their decision not to submit to the Grammys this year. ✊
"We’ve decided not to submit our work for this year’s Grammy Awards. We hope music will be recognized and loved for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language. Thank you, as always, to ARMY and everyone who supports us." 🔥
