grammy buat kategori "asian pop" itu bentuk diskriminasi loh ges karena ketika kategori ini udah dipandang wajar dan "widely accepted" nanti "value" para musisi asia (ga cuma kpop) akan dibatasi di kategori ini. that's why for me bts making this decision is a HUGE deal and i'm proud of them
Jujur gue gak ada kesel dan marahnya mereka speak up dan milih buat gak ngajuin nominasi, gue malah bangga dan seneng banget mereka berani buat keputusan sebesar itu, dan ku yakin itu gak mudah dan butuh waktu lama buat diskusi. Bangga banget sama mereka buat lebih mentingin harga diri mereka 😭😭💜
"We have decided not to submit for Grammys this year.
Rather than music being divided by region or language, we hope it can simply be heard and loved for what it is.
Thank you, as always, to ARMY and to everyone who has been with us". - BANGTAN
for bts not to submit one of their biggest albums to the grammys this year is huge and i respect them for that. so much was poured into arirang and its message and i feel like it wouldn’t sit right with bts at all especially with the new category the grammys put out
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." 🔥
"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
