What a perfect response to little miss zeena-phobia

[BTS Daily Chile⁷ @BTSDailyChile]

En una respuesta que más tarde fue eliminada, un votante de los Grammy respondió así a un ARMY que comentaba la decisión de BTS.

[📸: Consigue suficientes votos y ganas. Fin de la historia.
Los Grammy no son un concurso de popularidad abierto al público; son un premio decidido por profesionales de la industria. Si los votantes de los Grammy (como yo) votan por BTS, genial. Fuera de eso, no hay nada más que ver aquí.
Si lo que quieren es un concurso de popularidad, vayan a ver los American Music Awards.
Como siempre, hay gente hablando de cosas de las que no sabe absolutamente nada.]

This man has fought off monks, a vindictive shaman, and now the Recording Academy.

That’s our leader, man.

[Livheartt⁷ met hobi | ㉧㉣㉣ | 🦢🤍 @Livheartt]

This.

“By drawing a geographic boundary around pop music coming out of Asia, the Academy is fundamentally stating that Western pop is the "default" and everything else is a foreign anomaly requiring a special, segregated spotlight.”

Precisely that. 🎯

노벨문학상이 권위있는 이유는
언어와 문화의 장벽을 뛰어넘어
순수하며 보편적인 "문학"적 가치를
발견하고 그걸 인정한다는데에 있는거지
거기서 권위가 나오는 것임
노벨문학상이
노벨아시아문학상, 노벨라틴문학상 이딴걸 만들기 시작했으면 사람들에게 조롱거리가 되었을것
알겠냐 그래미야

[JAEKAY⋆ @jaeonistte]

It breaks my heart that they're so used to being treated like outsiders that the bare minimum feels extraordinary. Seeing them genuinely surprised just because Zane said he listened to "Arirang" says everything.

[Georgina 🥢🪭⊙⊝⊜ @georgina_1st]

Oh please read this 💜
“That’s the part the Grammys should be mourning.
Because they had something extraordinarily rare: one of the biggest acts in the world genuinely valued their recognition.

And they squandered it.

Year after year, BTS showed up. Performed. Smiled. Brought the audience. Generated the headlines. Treated the nomination like an honor. Allowed the Grammy to remain positioned as something worth chasing.

Until eventually the chase became more embarrassing for the institution dangling the prize than for the artists who hadn’t received it.

And now, after BTS finally stopped running, the Grammys want to explain that they’ve created MORE opportunities for recognition?

Baby, the opportunity expired.

You had seven global superstars standing at your door believing what was inside mattered.

You kept them waiting so long they built something bigger outside.”

[Nicolle⁷ @EgosShadow7]

This is PR to save the day lmao

We all know that:
1. If you are placed in Asian Pop category you CAN'T go for Best Pop categories.That's segregation
2. RA CAN recategorize submissions. You apply for Best Pop they say this is Asian Pop. Is this fair?

Continuation..

[⁷ @teeheehyung]

i wonder why nobody is getting the point at @RecordingAcad HQ. So i’ll explain it since the CEO just came in here and word vomited:

It’s not that BTS cannot submit for all the categories that they are legible for. But it’s the standard that you have rarely applied for e.g. Europeans or English speaking artists. Funneling an artist with dominant, chart-topping global numbers into a niche category, solely because of their language and geographic origin, ignores the reality that they are functioning as standard pop artists on the global stage. You aren’t celebrating Asian music with your new category, you are boxing artists away like you have done with Latin artists, Black artists into R&B & Rap. It’s you shifting categories the minute POC sweeps it the year next. BTS just happened to not agree with your decision. And as the outliers of Asian pop music, they have stepped back from it.

Reducing diverse musical expressions to the blanket term “Asian pop” replaces genuine artistic identity with a limiting geographic label. In reality, many contemporary Asian artists actively shape and redefine global landscapes across pop, hip-hop, R&B, rock, and electronic music, mirroring the stylistic fluidity found anywhere else in the world. Funneling this vast sonic spectrum into a regional category builds artificial barriers that prioritize an artist's place of origin over the actual substance of their sound.

BTS fought to pioneer a borderless industry where future generations of Asian artists are recognized as standard-setting creators rather than regional novelties. It’s your decision was a jab towards their legacy. That’s why, they have opted out of this. BTS & their culture is not a novelty, but rather an expression to universal art. And you have disgustingly tried to box it.

[MJ ⊙⊝⊜ @mj_alwayss]

BTS were nothing but respectful in their statements, they made NO DEMANDS, cussed no one out, nothing, just stated what they felt and moved on.

This woman feeling torn down by that simple statement need to take a hard look at what they are doing via this category but instead she chose to publicly attack the biggest asian artist for not playing their games.

This just proves the point that the category was made for them, atleast the inaugural one and the boys just bamboozeled them.

I know it’s wishful thinking but i genuinely hope that this award show loses all its relevance

[♡ @amlysbang]

The fact that the Recording Academy people sat in a boardroom, looked at the most culturally, linguistically and musically diverse continent on Earth, and concluded that the solution was to throw everyone into one "Asian Pop" category is exactly why this deserves criticism.

And then to turn around and say this category was created to "bring us closer" is ABSURD. Segregation has never brought people closer. Separate categories don't create equality, they create separate standards of recognition.

Expressing disappointment in BTS for refusing to legitimize that system completely misses the point. If one of the biggest Asian artists in history says, "We don't want to be separated from everyone else," maybe the response should not be to accuse them of chasing press.

No one is saying Asian artists deserve less recognition. They're saying they deserve the exact same opportunity to compete for the industry's highest honors without being boxed into a category based on geography or ethnicity.

If your first instinct when discussing an entire continent is to create a separate lane instead of removing barriers from the main one, then you've fundamentally misunderstood what inclusion is supposed to look like.

No Asian artist has won roty, aoty or soty in 68 years of grammys history btw

[Rize⁷ @rize07addict]

BTS did the same to the South Korean Government in 2022. The Govt tried to dangle the military exemption like a bone infront of them to make them perform in political events and do their bidding for free. And after they got scammed at the Busan Expo, BTS had enough and ennounced their military enlistment unanimously one day which send the whole Govt in a frenzy. Had politicians contacting their company & even parents to change their minds.

Same way today they announced they won't be submitting ARIRANG for the 2027 Grammys. For years they thought they weren't enough, kept accepting the invite to perform and getting subbed by songs with barely any impact outside 3 states of USA. But Arirang is different, it is the most successful album of 2026 both in records & in critical acclaim. And yet the Grammys decided to introduce a whole new Asian Pop Category to box them than give them their deserved Album of the Year win. Would've probably nominated them to give false hope and bait them to perform again and increase their viewership. And then toss them that token asian award like a pity. But BTS has had enough. They now know their worth and exactly what they deserve. Just like they did in 2022. I'm so proud of them.
