NEW YORK TIMES:
"Pero BTS, posiblemente el acto más grande del mundo desde Michael Jackson. Todo artista, ya sea BTS o Bad Bunny, merece tener acceso al mercado más grande sin ser filtrado ni calificado. La Academia debería dejar de inventar nuevas categorías de premios, especialmente aquellas basadas en etnia, nacionalidad o idioma, cuando la gente no las pide, cada división separa a sus ocupantes del mercado más grande y rentable."
ELLOS LO DIJERON, TIRARON FACTOS LOS DE NEW YORK TIMES 👏✨

The New York Times on the Grammys' new “Best Asian Pop Music Performance” category:
— “The Recording Academy should stop inventing new awards categories, especially ones based on ethnicity, nationality or language…”
"Nadie creó una categoría de Best European Pop Music Performance para Dua Lipa o Ed Sheeran" — FORBES
ESTA PARTE DE LO QUE DIJO FORBES, LO ESCRIBIERON POR TODOS NOSOTROS 👏🔥

Grammy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. responds to BTS’ decision to not submit their music for the 2027 awards, following the introduction of an Asian-focused category:
“I am saddened to hear that BTS has chosen not to participate in the Grammy Awards process this year, but as a music creator, I understand and respect their decision. […] I do want to clarify something that seems to be getting lost in the conversation. The Asian Pop category was created to celebrate the depth, diversity and extraordinary growth of pop artistry coming out of Asia. The spirit of this new category is to shine a dedicated spotlight on these important artists. More categories mean more artists’ work is recognized. It’s never to divide, but to expand who is recognized by our 15,000 Grammy voters. I also want to be very clear: submitting music in a genre category such as Asian Pop, or Jazz or Country does not exclude an artist from also submitting and being considered in the General Field categories, including Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Song of the Year. Those categories remain open to any eligible recording, regardless of genre. Recognition in a genre category and recognition in the General Field are not mutually exclusive. An artist can absolutely pursue both.”

O BTS ganhou apoio de outro fandom! 🚨Após o grupo recusar o Grammy 2027, fãs de Bad Bunny também criticaram as categorias separadas por idioma. Eles lembraram que, após o cantor vencer Álbum do Ano, a Academia criou a categoria Best Latin Song.
início do ano o grammy criou a categoria “melhor performance de música pop asiática” justamente pra segregar o bts já que eles levariam tudo a rodo com arirang. agora eles decidiram nem participar da premiação, mandaram muito
