@mochiijjk@agustdpro Although they could have been nominated in the main categories, it is obvious that the they created Best Asian Pop precisely to give them an award without them taking up a spot in the major categories. It's a classic move: we’ll separate them so we don’t have to compete with them
@mochiijjk@agustdpro Actually, artists submit their works, but expert committees review these submissions to assign them to the categories they deem most appropriate based on the music's genre and style.
@mochiijjk@agustdpro BTS could have submitted "Swim," but it features lyrics that are predominantly in English, making it ineligible for the new Asian pop category (which requires significant use of an Asian language).
@sleepinginsilk All BTS did was post an Instagram Story stating—with the utmost respect—that they would not be submitting their work to the Grammys this year; they explained their reasons and haven't said anything else about it since.
@fran_fam@yeahgustd Por allá del 2010 un foro en línea difundió rumores de que Tablo falsificó sus diplomas de la universidad de Stanford. Aunque Stanford confirmó q sus títulos eran reales y Tablo presentó pruebas oficiales nadie le creyó y se tuvo q retirar por dos años x el acoso que recibió.
Grammy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. responds to BTS’ decision to not submit their music for the 2027 awards, following the introduction of an Asian-focused category:
“I am saddened to hear that BTS has chosen not to participate in the Grammy Awards process this year, but as a music creator, I understand and respect their decision. […] I do want to clarify something that seems to be getting lost in the conversation. The Asian Pop category was created to celebrate the depth, diversity and extraordinary growth of pop artistry coming out of Asia. The spirit of this new category is to shine a dedicated spotlight on these important artists. More categories mean more artists’ work is recognized. It’s never to divide, but to expand who is recognized by our 15,000 Grammy voters. I also want to be very clear: submitting music in a genre category such as Asian Pop, or Jazz or Country does not exclude an artist from also submitting and being considered in the General Field categories, including Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Song of the Year. Those categories remain open to any eligible recording, regardless of genre. Recognition in a genre category and recognition in the General Field are not mutually exclusive. An artist can absolutely pursue both.”

@track4falling@bts_bighit The "Aliens" music video is BTS going to the Grammys every year and watching the award get stolen right in front of their faces because they're Korean.
@soolarzz That’s why your faves never won any major awards—you guys settle for anything. And when someone speaks up—when BTS stands up against the very xenophobia that affects your faves—you just mock them. Congratulations on winning that consolation prize.
@pjmIesviu Yo creo que van a eliminar la categoría, la hicieron para encasillar a BTS en ella y q no molesten en las categorías principales, si los chicos no se presentan los otros grupos de kpop van a ser un estorbo para los Grammys. Tipo: "Estos no sabemos ni qn son y no aportan nada"
@MariaLachimolal yo creo q fue cuando anunciaron la nueva categoría siento que si se enojaron y hablaron entre ellos pero por separado tipo jk y jm/nj y yg. Después tuvieron LA conversación donde todos dijeron "yo así no quiero ganar un grammy" créanme yo fui la silla nalgona de jk
