grammys have always avoided awarding non-american artists.
they constantly introduce new asian, african and latin categories just to leave the biggest awards for their national artists.
when you value music based on where the singer is from, you’re not awarding talent anymore.
and last thing im gonna say is, ARMYs are the only fandom who immediately recognized that new asian category for what it is: blatant racism, while others were celebrating a potential win for their faves. the fact that BTS, an asian group, thinks the same as us says a lot. 🙏🏽
bts who decided enlistment on their own terms after the gov tried to use them bts who said fuck the grammys after releasing their biggest album yet and little bts that debuted making music about issues that no other kpop group had the balls to talk about theyve never changed once
BTS announces they will not submit their music for the 2027 GRAMMY awards, following the Recording Academy’s addition of an Asian-focused category:
“I hope music itself can be heard and loved rather than being distinguished by region or language.”
it’s a win for us. any group that does submit for a category that was created to segregate Asian artists will go down in history as spineless and desperate. BTS have integrity, self-respect, and strength in genuine support— the most admirable award there is.
and no matter how much people like to pretend it was for representation, grammys introduced their little asian category to keep them away from the main one so they can keep rewarding their american artists freely. I am glad the boys are stepping away from the racist shitshow
All seven BTS members stand united in their decision not to submit to the Grammys this year. ✊
"We’ve decided not to submit our work for this year’s Grammy Awards. We hope music will be recognized and loved for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language. Thank you, as always, to ARMY and everyone who supports us." 🔥
