Recording Academy member Adam Merter Birson on BTS at the GRAMMYs 2027:
— "BTS ARMY should make a push for ARIRANG to win Album of the Year and not be marginalized with Best Asian Pop Music category. I think it's great if smaller artists could get recognized, but not BTS. BTS is way too big and way too important of a group to be falling into this trap."

They saw "ARIRANG" out-performing every single mainstream American Act release this year in both charts & critical acclamation and decided a separate lil corner for "these asians" is the way to go,, the shameless racism of the Recording Academy truely knows no bounds,,
The Grammys creating an "Asian Pop Performance" category the same year BTS returns with one of the year's biggest albums feels less like inclusion and more like a new way to keep Asian artists out of the main categories.
If the music is good enough to dominate charts, stadiums, and global culture, it's good enough to compete for Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year.
Separate shouldn't mean secondary.
so they are removing asian people from the main category entirely unofficially cause they don't want to stop giving the main awards to american artists only?
to anyone traveling to paris for the bangtan concerts; i'm so sorry to tell you that RER B (which is the main transport link to the stade de france) will not be running on the 17th (from 10:45 pm). a shame. forget it as an option, and instead use metro line 14 or 13. stay safe.
POR QUÉ NO LAS VEO GRITANDO POR ESTO???? Hoy #BTS hace HISTORIA al convertirse PRIMER GRUPO DE TODOS, PRIMER ACTO ASIÁTICO y el SÉPTIMO ARTISTA EN GENERAL EN LA HISTORIA en superar los 100 BILLONES de streams de audio bajo demanda en todas las plataformas. EL PODER DE LOS REYES😭💜🔥

Hybe & BTS apologised to ARMY because we're ARMY and they don't like to see us suffer mistreatment NOT because they were responsible for what happened. The promoter and city of Busan were contracted to deliver and failed spectacularly.
Make it make sense. BTS was in Mexico (with a full stadium of crowds outside the venue) and the US where everyone safe, medical assistance on site and transportation available post concert. Each one a success. We saw videos of the venues and cities planning for the event which would bring large crowds to their cities. The only issues were in BUSAN and areas they were/are responsible for. The City of Busan failed once again before the world. All the finger pointing should be in their direction.
