@ValeYoongi02 @bts_bighit It's a spot you can get a gift for having a membership (usually PCs, other groups like TXT it's been a lucky draw style where you pick one)

[vanessa⁷ @chasinglights]

@lobebangtanboys @ibbi1310 @bts_bighit Yup! They'll check/scan you membership and then you can go to a person a pick up your gift

There’s a lot to unpack here, and I’m going to say it directly. I dont care if I get cancelled but this needs to be said.

For years, BTS were told they weren’t big enough, mainstream enough, or "Grammy material." Then they became one of the biggest acts in the world. They broke records, sold out stadiums across continents, topped charts repeatedly, and built a global cultural impact that few artists in history can match.

And when they became too successful to ignore?

The Grammys nominated "Dynamite" and "Butter"—both English-language songs.

Let that sink in.

The songs that got BTS into the major Grammy conversation were the songs that fit most comfortably into the Western industry framework. Yet BTS's discography is filled with critically acclaimed Korean-language music that has had enormous cultural and artistic impact.

Now we have a "Best Asian Pop Music Performance" category.

And before anyone calls that progress, let's ask the obvious question: why does there need to be a separate category at all?

If Asian artists are good enough to dominate global charts, sell millions of records, headline festivals, influence culture worldwide, and compete with every major artist in the industry, then they are good enough for the same categories as everyone else.

Inclusion isn't creating a separate lane after Asian artists prove they can win in the existing ones.

Inclusion is treating them as equals.

That's why BTS's lyrics in "Aliens" hit so hard:

"어쩜 그래 shameless
예의를 차려 we aliens
해는 동쪽에서 risin'
Aliens, aliens"

No matter how successful some artists become, there are still systems and institutions that treat them as perpetual outsiders.
And that's exactly why this conversation matters.
Because when BTS were impossible to ignore, the response shouldn't have been to create another box and place Asian artists inside it. The response should have been to judge them by the same standards as every other artist competing for the biggest awards in music.

ARMYs, we have a mission.

Talk about Arirang everywhere. Put it in AOTY conversations. Put it in ROTY conversations. Write threads. Make edits. Share analyses. Start discussions.

If we believe it deserves those nominations, then let's make enough noise that nobody can pretend it doesn't belong in the room.

They ignored BTS until they couldn't.

Let's make sure they can't ignore Arirang either.

@KakePop7 Yeah! Idk if they had Wings, but I fully remember going to Target every release day starting with LY: HER. Finding the version you wanted was genuinely so fun and easy.

I don't shop at Target anymore though, lol.

@ubeeatingbum @cypherptscoups At Stanford, there was part of the stadium that didn't have metal detectors. Used it for VIP D1 and waa sent there D2 since it had short lines. Staff did a real quick look at your bag. Hiding them between things inside the clear bag, and you enter there, well.....

[vanessa⁷ @chasinglights]

@528hzkr_ @defjaybkr Yooo 🔥🔥🔥

[International Sleep⁷ 시차 @SleepDeez]

It begins.. The BTS effect is in motion. The other groups are wanting to be present in their writing camps now.

PERFECT for us producers and songwriters🙏🏾 Shouts out to the Magnificent 7 yet again 😂
