Forbes on the Grammys' new “Best Asian Pop Music Performance” category:
— “Nobody created a ‘Best European Pop Music Performance’ category for Dua Lipa or Ed Sheeran.”
Bang Yongguk, former leader of K-Pop Hi-Hop group B.A.P, has shared #BTS decision to not submit their music to Grammys on his Instagram Story.
“👏👏🏻👏🏼👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿”
[INFO] CEO and Vice President of Hyundai car, Diego Bluff showing his support for #BTS’s decision to not submit their songs at the Grammys 🙌
“The establishment of Grammy’s Asian Pop category and BTS’s reason for rejecting the nomination. Is it a misunderstanding that Asian musicians want to be isolated?
Then Bad Bunny and Ricky Martin should be classified separately and given the Latin Grammy.
BTS songs have a lot of English, so how is this?
Singapore and India, which write in English, are not Asian pop?
I’ve never heard of the idea of distinguishing music by language.
It seems that the fields of Bad Bunny and Verdi Opera are different.”

two things were dangled in front of bts for the longest time. military exemption and the grammy. and in both cases they took the reins of the systems that tied them to exploitative schemes with the promise of a reward that was always just out of reach. hope they feel lighter now
remember when jimin & jungkook were offering food to homeless people & they met a man who told them “stay true to yourself, stay true to your heart. don’t be like other groups, be who you are, why you’re an artist, what made you attracted to art and you’ll be good at whatever you do”
and they carried those words with them throughout their journey, staying true to their artistry and themselves which is what led them to where they are today.
