you want me to gaf about the grammys when this is the crowd bts pulls with a 5 hour notice for a few minutes appearance. awards can be bought but you can never fake influence.
i think it's worth noting that bts made this announcement just after we watched in real time as fifa omitted their names from official posts and delayed putting up their performance. i think bts are very much as aware as we are that the industry doesn't like that their success.
bb changed their rules MULTIPLE times to directly hinder bts' ability to chart, Spotify has spent the last week glitching streams from Normal and splitting versions so bts can't claim more records. and everyone knows why the scammys made that category.
its genuinely the world against bts and army are all they have, save for ONE k-artist willing to stand by them.
Jungkook una vez dijo:
🐰: Creo que nuestro estatus ya está ahí, ganemos un Grammy o no. Eso solo fue, no sé… ¿una buena experiencia? Me hizo darme cuenta de que, aunque sabía que ganar un Grammy es algo grande, en realidad no estaba tan interesado en ganar uno. Me interesa más demostrar quién soy a través de mi música.
Había leído un comentario que decía: "BTS pasó AÑOS abriendo puertas que no estaban hechas para ellos & ahora tienen la libertad de decidir cuáles valen la pena cruzar & cuáles no." Que este es el verdadero significado de pavimentar tu propio camino. Sigo a los artistas correctos
Y OBVIAMENTE, se viene sabotaje a los chicos, se les hará más cuesta arriba todo, más de lo que ya es. Si no nos ponemos el cinturón como es y volvemos a ser la bestia de fandom en plataformas, esto será bastante duro.
노벨문학상이 권위있는 이유는
언어와 문화의 장벽을 뛰어넘어
순수하며 보편적인 "문학"적 가치를
발견하고 그걸 인정한다는데에 있는거지
거기서 권위가 나오는 것임
노벨문학상이
노벨아시아문학상, 노벨라틴문학상 이딴걸 만들기 시작했으면 사람들에게 조롱거리가 되었을것
알겠냐 그래미야
Oh and before all of you other fandoms talk shit and get it twisted, ARIRANG IS the album of the year. SWIM IS the song of the year. And lastly, BTS IS THE ARTIST OF THE YEAR. The numbers don’t fucking lie.
INFO | 📰
Productor galardonado con el Grammy Sleep Deez sobre la decisión de #BTS de no presentar su aclamado álbum, Arirang, para los Premios Grammy 2027 en nombre de la integridad, la inclusión y la no discriminación.
🗣️ Ellos ya estaban aquí arriba en mi opinión. Simplemente... simplemente alcanzaron otro nivel. Simplemente alcanzaron otro nivel en mi opinión. Ese es el tipo de sacrificio que hace que la gente sea grandiosa, sabes? Eso los llevó a un nivel totalmente diferente para mí. Un saludo para BTS, hermano.
except for tablo from epik high, no peer of bts in k-pop supported bts today. an industry critic said that only bts could show this backbone and that k-pop has to bow down to the grammys. while bts wanted to protect the industry's pride, we learned that the industry has no pride.
the silence from bts’ industry peers (with the exception of tablo!) speaks volumes.
“heavy is the head that wears the crown”
the kpop industry has spent years chasing bts’ success desperate to replicate it, quick to claim it as their own and fighting to be known as “the next bts” but nobody actually wants to BE bts when it’s time to be bts which is why i will always respect the guys for the way they handle the pressure, weight and burden of being the first keeping in mind that they don’t have many peers to look to for advice on how to navigate these uncharted waters.
Grammy-winning R&B legend and original Broadway The Wiz star Stephanie Mills🔥🔥👏👏👏👏 showed her support for BTS by sharing Rolling Stone India’s post about BTS pulling ARIRANG from Grammy consideration, calling their decision “so brave” and saying, “I admire these young men💛” 💜👏👏👏
I’ll say it again:
I’ve been here almost a decade. The goal was always to “make BTS untouchable.” That was never about them getting validation from any institution. It was about them having freedom to make decisions like this one because their success gives them power.
