BTS spent years opening doors that weren’t built for them. now they have the freedom to decide which ones are worth walking through. bts are truly living legends.
and notice how everything’s written in korean and there’s not a single english word in sight. they really said you wanna know what i’m saying, go ahead and translate it then
bts choosing not to submit their music to the grammys in the one year they were almost certainly in a position to earn nominations is such a powerful statement.
the recording academy created a category to separate asian artists instead of recognizing them alongside their peers, reflecting a long-standing lack of respect and equal recognition for artists across an entire continent and the world.
bts lives and breathes music.
this decision isn’t just about them: it’s about standing up for fairness, dignity, and the artists who come after them. they’re taking a meaningful step not only for themselves, but for asian artists and the global music community as a whole.
I couldn’t be prouder.
jungkook on instagram:
“we have decided not to submit for the Grammys this year. we hope that music can be heard and appreciated for what it is, rather than being defined by region or language. thank you to ARMY and to everyone who has always supported us.”
*him and the rest of the tannies have shared the same message on their instagram stories🥺💜

🐨:We have decided not to submit to the Grammys this year.
I hope that music can be heard and loved for itself, rather than being distinguished by region or language.
Thank you to ARMY and everyone who is always with us.
