Recording Academy member Adam Merter Birson says:
“BTS ARMY should push for them to win Album of the Year, not be marginalized in a Best Asian Pop category. It’s great for smaller artists to get recognized, but BTS is way too big and important to fall into this trap.” 🗣️

The GRAMMYs are introducing their first Asian category at next year’s ceremony.
Best Asian Pop Music Performance will recognise K-Pop, J-Pop, C-Pop recordings that feature meaningful use of one or more Asian languages.
BTS will perform at Estadio Riyadh Air Metropolitano on June 26 & 27. Madrid will serve as the first stop of the European leg of ARIRANG WORLD TOUR.
This will be the first time BTS performs in Spain, doing so in front of an estimated crowd of 60K each night in Madrid. They were scheduled to perform with Map of the Soul World Tour at ‘Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys’ in Barcelona in 2020, but the tour was cancelled due to COVID-19.
Forbes Spain writes:
“…BTS, the most successful Korean group in the history of K-pop, will land in Madrid. They will also perform at the Metropolitano on June 26 and 27, with more than 120,000 tickets sold. A new mass phenomenon with a positive effect in numerous sectors, from hospitality to beauty.”
SPANISH ARMYS LET’S GIVE THEM A WARM WELCOME AND SHOW THEM HOW LONG YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!💜🔥
