“Our country wasn’t built on diversity” is a wild way to describe a country built on Indigenous land, enslaved African labor, and generations of immigrants from all over the world. Ignorant white people like him always try to rewrite history!
I don't think people fully understand the magnitude of this decision.
Some of the music industry's most respected producers, writers, engineers, and creatives worked on ARIRANG. A project built to the highest artistic standard. One producer even spoke publicly about hoping the album would receive Grammy recognition.
Then the Recording Academy introduced a category specifically for Asian pop.
And BTS chose not to submit.
Think about that. The biggest musical project of the year. One of the strongest commercial and artistic contenders. A project that could have competed across multiple major categories. It simply won't be in the race because the artists chose principle over prestige.
Moves like this don't happen often. When artists at BTS' level willingly walk away from the biggest stage in music, the conversation shifts because of what they refused to endorse.
ESTAS PALABRAS DE JUNGKOOK, ESCÚCHENLO. ES HORA DE QUE LO RESPETEN.
“Fui a ver una película yo solo hoy. Y por casualidad, me encontré con algunos ARMY. Al salir, incluso me tomé fotos con ellos.
La verdad es que no tengo ningún problema en tomarme fotos con los fans. Pero cuando fui a comprar pan, alguien de repente me puso una cámara justo frente a la cara. No creo que eso sean buenos modales.
No me importa la edad que tengas ni de dónde seas; ese tipo de comportamiento me pareció un poco irrespetuoso. Si de alguna manera esto llega a esa persona, espero que sepa que fue una falta de respeto.
Otros fans me preguntaron amablemente si podían tomarse una foto conmigo, y con mucho gusto acepté. Después de eso, disfruté de mi pan y mi café, y regresé a casa de muy buen humor.”
