to anyone missing the point. this is them refusing to bown down to a institution that would rather create racially segregated categories than letting poc artists compete equally for the main awards
it’s a win for us. any group that does submit for a category that was created to segregate Asian artists will go down in history as spineless and desperate. BTS have integrity, self-respect, and strength in genuine support— the most admirable award there is.
BTS members on their decision not to submit their work for this year's Grammy Awards:
"We have decided not to submit for the grammys this year. We hope that music can be heard and appreciated for what it is, rather than being defined by region or language. Thank you to Army and to everyone who has always supported us."

"We have decided not to submit for this year's Grammys.
Rather than music being categorized by region or language, we hope music itself can be heard and loved for what it is.
We sincerely thank ARMY and everyone who is always with us"
BTS said FUCK YOU to the Grammys!
Making a category for Asian artists so they can pretend that BTS aren't outselling several mainstream western artists is such a low blow. M so glad the boys said "we're over it" 👏👏👏👏👏
