the fact that bts dont just tell us to love ourselves or keep swimming or stand up for urself they actively show us what that looks like by fighting for themselves and their message too is exactly why they are so loved and important to so many people

[sasha⁷ @bonnyoongi]

Bts saying no to that award taught me a good life lesson. Don't be scared to walk away from things which do not value you. Do not hesitate to stand for what's right even if it was a dream/meant something in the past. Thanks @BTS_twt

[Yassin⁷ @btsbeingbtsyt]

People forget what happened to Tablo and that his whole country basically turned on him at one point.

He lost everything.

What is especially touching about @bts_bighit not submitting is how long they've wanted that award, but now not being willing to be sacrifice themselves or their art for one.

That's understanding your worth without being arrogant. And valuing where your support REALLY lies. 💜

Oh and before all of you other fandoms talk shit and get it twisted, ARIRANG IS the album of the year. SWIM IS the song of the year. And lastly, BTS IS THE ARTIST OF THE YEAR. The numbers don’t fucking lie.

[Cypher⁷ / Shesawseesaw @cypherluscious]

...if it's really true that Granny removed both BTS performances from their website, it makes this whole thing even better because their pettiness shows them exactly for who they are while BTS couldn't care less and remain unbothered. Who indeed needs whom..?

[sophie @thvchapters]

it takes an incredible amount of courage, even sadness, to realise that a dream is no longer a dream because its very foundation is rotten.

some people spend their entire lives chasing something, and when they finally discover it’s built on prejudice, unfairness, and flawed values, they don’t know how to walk away. BTS did.

I deeply admire their strength to let go of something they once dreamed of because they recognised it no longer represented what they believed in. they could have won their first grammy, but they chose integrity, conviction, respect for music and their peers instead.

that choice says more about their character than any trophy ever could.

[yuki⁷ @joon_lovebot]

btw when bts do sing in english, it's to reach YOU. The fan of BTS who dont understand kr. it's not to reach the GP or validation or for some stupid award, its a consideration they make to directly connect with ARMY so their words arent altered by unmoderated translations

[Meh⁷ 🥢 @4everwith_bts7]

the beauty of stanning artists like BTS is that you wake up with even more love and respect for them than you had yesterday and they keep reminding you why you fell in love with them and their music in the first place. we're on the right side of history.

[nissa⁷ @mninissaa]

nobody can ever convince me we don’t stan the greatest artists of our generation

I didn't think it was possible for BTS to get even sexier, but here we are.

[Rize⁷ @rize07addict]

BTS having the biggest balls in the entire industry coz even American Acts like The Weeknd, Kanye West & Nicki Minaj never stopped submitting their music for the Grammys despite publicly criticising them on multiple occasions. It requires so much guts to announce you will not submit AT ALL, especially as a Foreign Act.

[Yassin⁷ @btsbeingbtsyt]

Great actors don't need Oscars to prove their worth.

Great musicians don't need a GRAMMYs for that same reason either.

BTS have established themselves as household names and mainstream acts, while having to work several times harder than their peers in order to get there.

[💜⁷ 2.0 @danilovesbts]

let this moment be a reminder to every marginalized individual that no matter your nationality, ethnicity, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability or religious belief no one should try to dim your light by placing you in a box to deny you a seat at the table.

[pixie🧚🏻‍♀️⁷ lost LTB @roundiekku]

I hope yall realize how much courage it takes to willingly give up on a 100% chance to win awards just to show the world that good music should be respected and listened to without any labels. THIS is what we call paving the way

[Has.Unni⁷⁼¹ ARIRANG ⊙⊝⊜ @Hsn_OT7]

And years from now when k-acts will be able to submit in major Grammys categories they will all have forgotten it’s only bcz bts is standing up for respect right now.

This is paving the way.

[•・ @ameviil]

except for tablo from epik high, no peer of bts in k-pop supported bts today. an industry critic said that only bts could show this backbone and that k-pop has to bow down to the grammys. while bts wanted to protect the industry's pride, we learned that the industry has no pride.

[Cypher⁷ / Shesawseesaw @cypherluscious]

Announcing the **** you to the Grannys through 7 coordinated posts in Korean is on par with performing "Cypher pt. 3 Killer" at their free concert in Busan just before announcing their mil. enlistment. Such a BTS thing to do, take charge, you know? No one can control their shit.

[ᴮᴱNot Important is Celebrating BTS Year⁷ @JustHere4_BTS]

I’ll say it again:

I’ve been here almost a decade. The goal was always to “make BTS untouchable.” That was never about them getting validation from any institution. It was about them having freedom to make decisions like this one because their success gives them power.
