[⟬⟭ Arna⁷=¹ 🔍⍢⃝🔎🇮🇸🏳️‍🌈⟭⟬ SAW BTS @arnarut94]

A person was asking how they moved the stage so quickly in the US since the shows have so few days between them and this was a reply on there - this is brilliant.

one of the rules of being an army is you need to retweet war of hormone when you see it

During the first 48 hours, the news focused on BTS’ statement. It was a shock to the industry and no one expected it.

Then the RA responded quickly extending coverage another day, primarily due to the AP running a second story, which got picked up by hundreds of syndicated outlets. The committee members crashouts got picked up by social media, K media, and blogs further damaging the RA’s reputation.

The coverage has now shifted to analysis and opinion pieces. Expect more of that over the weekend. Continue posting thoughtful comments on the media’s social posts. They’ll be reading them for research.

The next wave of coverage could come from:
-BTS says anything else
-another prominent Asian artist follows suit (not counting on this)
-the RA indicates any changes
-Submission deadline (news will bring up statement again)
-when nominations are announced
Those are just a few possibilities.

👉What ARMY can do: Show that BTS doesn’t need the RA for validation. Continue streaming and buying. Keep talking about why they and Arirang deserve to be recognized and critically acclaimed. Post thoughtful analysis under positive media coverage.

Zeena Koda, in her interview for Variety about 10 AAPI Music Executives Making an Impact in 2024 told that The Recording Academy lauched the Gold Alliance aimed at giving visibility to AAPI artists.

The founder of Gold Alliance is Kevin Nishimura, who is currently the Chief Business Officer of Kakao Entertainment Global and Chief Operating Officer of SM and Kakao Entertainment America.

Oh lord. Now you see here's the thing. These people are not understanding one thing. Asian representation in music is a cause worth fighting for. But representation stops being meaningful when it comes at the cost of segregation. Creating spaces for Asian artists should never mean confining them to a separate lane instead of allowing them to compete as equals.

You cannot claim to champion Asian representation while boxing in the biggest Asian artist in the world. And when that very artist tells you that this approach is not representation but limitation, it's time to stop defending the system and start reflecting on whether you're advancing equality or simply repackaging exclusion.

Want long, blonde, luscious hair like Jimin? Just use Mochi Mane Shampoo and get as close as humanly possible to the original. Will you actually become Jimin? No. But you’ll look fabulous trying. ✨ It will set you free. 💜

BTS’ ‘ARIRANG’ becomes the FIRST and ONLY album in history to spend 8 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart.

— No Foreign Act or even Japanese Act has EVER reached this milestone before.

.@MoonieJoonieee showed me this video she took right when I woke up and tried to warn me to prepare myself.

It didn’t help.
