"There seems to be a pattern emerging here, and it becomes increasingly difficult to dismiss it the more you pay attention. It goes like this: A non-white artist breaks into mainstream-music consciousness by delivering a critically acclaimed project and looks likely to win a Grammy in a major category. Soon after, a new category is announced by the Recording Academy to help segregate these artists." — Teen Vogue

Arirang by BTS has surpassed 1.6 million units sold in the US. It now ranks as the fourth best selling album of the year in the country and the #1 best-selling album globally.
"All this is doing is making the Grammys look like they don't know what they're doing. How can you marginalize the most popular pop band in the world?"
— Boston's NPR News Station

“It’s tempting to say BTS was locked out of the category they inspired. That isn’t quite what happened, and the truth is worse. ARIRANG’s Korean-language tracks would qualify. “SWIM,” the English-language lead single and by far the album’s biggest commercial performer, would not. So the Academy has built a system in which a Korean group’s most globally successful song is too English for the Asian category, while the group itself has spent years being too Korean for the general ones. Pick a lane, the rule says. Then it moves the lane.”

"Grammys will go ahead with an Asian pop category, without the group that made it necessary and whoever wins it will be handed a question along with the trophy.
Until the Academy answers it, BTS’s absence is going to be the loudest thing in the room"
온더램프는 자연의 시간을 담아낸 스위트 라이스 와인입니다.
⠀
한국의 쌀과 누룩, 그리고 물.
오직 자연이 허락한 재료만으로 천천히 발효해
맑은 금빛과 은은한 단맛을 완성시켰습니다.
⠀
단 한 잔만으로도 차오르는 깊은 풍미와 여운.

온더램프와 함께하는 당신의 시간이
은은한 달빛처럼 빛나길 바랍니다.
Moments on.
