I’ll pitch in my two cents for the LADS discourse, the CN users complaints are beyond what the new LI characteristics (ppl don’t read?) 2nd we wanted more ways to get dias, an update on the main story. We never asked for a house feature (which sucks) Erasing Valko is just not ok

[Nadia @lissbubblegum]

@come_toBTS Ayyy no lo se…yo si quiero verlos bien

[Nadia @lissbubblegum]

I understand international fans were waiting for the new LI but the CN market is their biggest market and they generate the overall GP. Of course they would cater to them, at the end of the day it’s business and when your GP market threatens to leave you accomodate to them.

Why not, I can be a petty bitch too.

[⟡ @safetyzonehsk]

recording bts when they’re out in public is weird and you won’t convince me otherwise. they have all been so great at updating us with the fun they’re having on tour in every city, like why do you need to invade their privacy & post them literally eating at restaurants?

[Nadia @lissbubblegum]

How is this not stalking them? I thought army’s had a silent agreement of ignoring and not posting their whereabouts…whatever this fandom posses me off

[Nadia @lissbubblegum]

@minmooniex Jajaja se lo dicen a todo su público, parecen novias celosas. Vivan y dejen vivir

[Nadia @lissbubblegum]

@nakedcolumn And the he drank from that bottle…you guys technically kissed! 🔥🔥

[Nadia @lissbubblegum]

@msSyluna They used to give us ten 😭 we didn’t have to play those stupid mini games to get them on the exchange store

[Nadia @lissbubblegum]

@billboardcharts Fix your damn post Billboard. It’s Come Over by BTS…

[Nadia @lissbubblegum]

@qiyubelle He came out of nowhere, that’s what’s pissing me off. With Sylus there was some anticipation and he was involved in the main story…him? Idk. Also…a wolf? *cringes* I’m not freaky enough for this.

[Nadia @lissbubblegum]

@varnellhill_ Absolutely

[r @THEJILF]

oh arirang... your impact too big... your reach too astronomical... your bangtan too sonyeondan

[Nadia @lissbubblegum]

Honestly, this is xenophobic and discrediting to the artists that are making an effort to penetrate western audiences/market (even when they don’t do it for the awards)
It’s ironic that BTS worked on Arirang and has tried to push it to western audiences, yet the industry says NO

[Pop Base @PopBase]

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.

[𝐴𝑠ℎ⁷ @kthnoir7]

There’s a lot to unpack here, and I’m going to say it directly. I dont care if I get cancelled but this needs to be said.

For years, BTS were told they weren’t big enough, mainstream enough, or "Grammy material." Then they became one of the biggest acts in the world. They broke records, sold out stadiums across continents, topped charts repeatedly, and built a global cultural impact that few artists in history can match.

And when they became too successful to ignore?

The Grammys nominated "Dynamite" and "Butter"—both English-language songs.

Let that sink in.

The songs that got BTS into the major Grammy conversation were the songs that fit most comfortably into the Western industry framework. Yet BTS's discography is filled with critically acclaimed Korean-language music that has had enormous cultural and artistic impact.

Now we have a "Best Asian Pop Music Performance" category.

And before anyone calls that progress, let's ask the obvious question: why does there need to be a separate category at all?

If Asian artists are good enough to dominate global charts, sell millions of records, headline festivals, influence culture worldwide, and compete with every major artist in the industry, then they are good enough for the same categories as everyone else.

Inclusion isn't creating a separate lane after Asian artists prove they can win in the existing ones.

Inclusion is treating them as equals.

That's why BTS's lyrics in "Aliens" hit so hard:

"어쩜 그래 shameless
예의를 차려 we aliens
해는 동쪽에서 risin'
Aliens, aliens"

No matter how successful some artists become, there are still systems and institutions that treat them as perpetual outsiders.
And that's exactly why this conversation matters.
Because when BTS were impossible to ignore, the response shouldn't have been to create another box and place Asian artists inside it. The response should have been to judge them by the same standards as every other artist competing for the biggest awards in music.

ARMYs, we have a mission.

Talk about Arirang everywhere. Put it in AOTY conversations. Put it in ROTY conversations. Write threads. Make edits. Share analyses. Start discussions.

If we believe it deserves those nominations, then let's make enough noise that nobody can pretend it doesn't belong in the room.

They ignored BTS until they couldn't.

Let's make sure they can't ignore Arirang either.

[Rize⁷ @rize07addict]

Ofcourse they did. So all their main categories can remain safe and secured for the American Acts. The fact that they face xenophobia allegations every year and they keep proving them right every year.
