“it seems this situation should be viewed as a story between the grammy and bts rather than an issue between the Grammys and k-pop”...wow, no like i knew no one's gonna boycott but wow this statement is something else entirely
no but everything aside, i am so incredibly proud of them cause for bts to announce this as 7 together after the years of disrespect in terms of racism, xenophobia & discrimination they've faced from this god awful industry, especially after putting out one of their greatest albums out into the world really tells me everything i need to know. i have so much respect for them in my hearts bc you can just tell that it's the art and how it's reaching people that they care about (we've known this) and FAWK the rest. lmfao.
i dont think y’all realize how fucking cool it is to just openly announce you are not submitting for the grammys because of their mistreatment. it takes a lot to have that kind of courage. they said FUCK that racist organization. BTS are truly the most inspiring artists ever
"Let music be heard for what it is, not judged by the language it's sung in or the country it comes from."
THAT'S ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL STATEMENTS BANGTAN EVER MADE
El Mercurio vuelve a caer en dos prejuicios sobre ARMY. El primero, creer que esto fue una "pataleta" por un concierto, cuando afectó a más de 200.000 personas, con pasajes, hoteles, vacaciones e incluso viajes desde el extranjero comprometidos. Los diputados que nos escucharon entendieron que había un problema real, no un espectáculo.
El segundo error es asumir que ARMY es un grupo políticamente utilizable. Agradecer a quienes nos escucharon no significa apoyar sus ideas ni entregarles votos. Significa reconocer a quienes hicieron su trabajo: escuchar a la ciudadanía.
¿En qué parte del mundo escuchar a los ciudadanos en una comisión parlamentaria —más aún en la Comisión de Cultura, tratándose de un evento cultural de esta magnitud— pasa a ser "política espectáculo"?
El Mercurio sigue demostrando que no entiende quién es BTS ni quién es su fandom. Aunque, considerando su historia, no sorprende que vuelva a construir un relato basado en prejuicios antes que en los hechos.
tengo tanta rabia, evidentemente nos ocuparon para tapar los cagazos del gobierno. les parece coincidencia que suelten el nacional justo el día en que se aprobó el corazón de la megarreforma nefasta de quiroz? no estoy contenta, porque esto JAMÁS DEBIÓ SER UN PROBLEMA
🐱: i got here a day earlier than the other members and went to a Metallica concert. Turns out it was their 45th year? Since we're only in our 13th year, that means we still have 32 years ahead of us. You'll keep watching us until then, right?
😭😭😭😭😭
