If 2016 didn't break this fandom and 2017 didn't break this fandom and 2018 didn't break this fandom and 2022 didn't break this fandom and 2024 didn't break this fandom, then 2026 can't break this fandom.
bts is not losing fans or reputation, it's just that armys' masks slipped and most of you proved how parasocial and drama addicted people you are. most of you are bad enough people to h*rt your own idol for someone else's cr*mes. all of you are angry and frustrated because you can't control the bts members, not because of your moral values.
Hello, @HANPASS1@HanpassMY@Hanpasspurchase, one of your employees by the name of Nazia is invading a celebrity’s personal info and it is an illegal privacy violation. This is not okay, I hope you can take the appropriate action against this unprofessional behaviour.
I don't think people fully understand the magnitude of this decision.
Some of the music industry's most respected producers, writers, engineers, and creatives worked on ARIRANG. A project built to the highest artistic standard. One producer even spoke publicly about hoping the album would receive Grammy recognition.
Then the Recording Academy introduced a category specifically for Asian pop.
And BTS chose not to submit.
Think about that. The biggest musical project of the year. One of the strongest commercial and artistic contenders. A project that could have competed across multiple major categories. It simply won't be in the race because the artists chose principle over prestige.
Moves like this don't happen often. When artists at BTS' level willingly walk away from the biggest stage in music, the conversation shifts because of what they refused to endorse.
Major award shows which introduced K-pop/Asian related categories, majorly due to the impact of BTS:
• GRAMMYs (2027)
• iHeartRadio Music Awards (2024)
• Billboard Music Awards (2023)
• American Music Awards (2022)
• EMAs (2021)
• VMAs (2019)
What makes ARIRANG Grammy-worthy?
Not just the sales or the charts.
It's the way BTS turned a reunion album into a reflection on heritage, belonging, pressure, growth, and artistic evolution. Critics called it a triumphant homecoming and one of their most ambitious works yet.
