she set herself and the grammys up so bad with that nothing burger rant of hers😭😭that pr statement grammy ceo made went down the drain after the shit she's said😭😭
Zeena Koda, one of the individuals involved in establishing the new 'Best Asian Pop' category at the GRAMMYs acknowledges that the discussions did NOT account for the fact that some Asian countries speak English.
— One of the category's requirements is that the song must be performed in an Asian language.
Bruno Mars, Anderson Paak, HER, Olivia Rodrigo have all won in the major categories, at the Grammy’s. Now the question is do you consider them “Asian” enough for you.
They’re kinda smart ngl, they’re not eligible for the new Asian category because their songs in English. And they knew they don’t have a chance winning in main categories, they can get nominations but they know they’re not a frontrunner so they didn’t submit.
kpop companies salivate at the thoughts of such things, especially when it's something that hasn't already been done by BTS. they'll see this as an opportunity for their groups and mediaplay the fuck outta it than have self respect.
as poc can we not just fucking stand up 💀💀💀 imagine at YOUR LITERAL JOB they had employee of the month and then asian employee of the month alongside it
and notice how everything’s written in korean and there’s not a single english word in sight. they really said you wanna know what i’m saying, go ahead and translate it then
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
the way it clearly states it's a BTS decision not a "hybe overall boycott" thing and mind you, they had the highest chance of getting nominated AND winning out of any of the artists that released this year, especially that separate category they created to but they CHOSE not to
They did the logistics, knew their album wouldn't win and would damage their rep, this being their comeback after a long time. If they knew they could win they would have submitted regardless of any stance on the Grammy category, HYBE is too capitalistic to give that chance up.
real reason being them standing up for themselves, as asians, against blatant segregation of them and their peers into other categories just to keep them away from mains??you're going around twting this as a "proof" that they're not genuine when it just proves they've a spine😭
“protect the status and pride of the kpop industry as a whole” as they claim they paved the way for the entirety of asia and actively ignore serious issues in the industry? not buying it sorry
do you know how fucking refreshing it is to see an artist stand their fucking ground against a gigantic fucking institution in 2026. I feel vindicated, not only as an ARMY, but as a human. BTS, you will be good. you were always gonna be good, but it only confirms it.
