Recording Academy member Adam Merter Birson on BTS at the GRAMMYs 2027:
— "BTS ARMY should make a push for ARIRANG to win Album of the Year and not be marginalized with Best Asian Pop Music category. I think it's great if smaller artists could get recognized, but not BTS. BTS is way too big and way too important of a group to be falling into this trap."
shit like this gives me the ick… like it reads that yall think BTS are better asian artists than other groups like somehow they’re more deserving to be in main categories while other kpop groups should stay in kpop categories
this pisses me off. all kpop groups deserve to be judged&praised in main stream. they’re not lesser than BTS nor would they bring BTS down being in the same category
the Grammy should be ashamed by segregating asian acts and not letting any group be acknowledged in main awards
as if asia doesn’t already have GDA/MAMA/AAA for asian artists already in the same category together … now the fucking grammy won’t let them compete against other artists in their overall general categories
The GRAMMYs are introducing their first Asian category at next year’s ceremony.
Best Asian Pop Music Performance will recognise K-Pop, J-Pop, C-Pop recordings that feature meaningful use of one or more Asian languages.
Ofcourse they did. So all their main categories can remain safe and secured for the American Acts. The fact that they face xenophobia allegations every year and they keep proving them right every year.
