EVERYONE MARK THIS DAY ON UR CALENDAR WE ARE GONNA REMEMBER THIS FOREVER

[yuki⁷ @joon_lovebot]

actually he brings up a very good point, because of colonization english is very much an everyday language in a lot of asia and it has been for the ~200 years so why isnt english an asian language too? it is the official lang of more than a few.

[mira⁷ | ⊙⊝⊜ @minflwrs_]

and if i would think more, if an opm song has a spanish and filipino lyrics to them, would it be considered latin or asian? 🤔

[mira⁷ | ⊙⊝⊜ @minflwrs_]

now that i think about it, opm wouldn't stand a chance to that best asian pop category because there's a lot of loan words in our language 😭

[chubs saw BTS 🇪🇸🇩🇪 @ibbi1310]

Imagine that at your workplace there was an employee of the month, a black employee of the month, a Latino employee of the month, and an Asian employee of the month... I think that makes more sense now.

Is it too soon to talk about how this isn’t even a Grammy issue but a problem with how white people in particular have centered themselves on the world stage of music and convinced everyone that their specific opinions on music are most important?

[sen @sugatradamus]

to those who still don’t get it, the recording academy expect asian artists to convince them that they made “meaningful use” of their OWN mother tongue. artists who don’t sing in english need to degrade themselves in order to be seen as part of the mainstream. that’s disgusting.

[inca. @tkliham]

album so goated bts won’t let it get any touch of disrespect

[mira⁷ | ⊙⊝⊜ @minflwrs_]

this award has a lot of loopholes lolol

[🚀134340 miles from sanity⁷💫🪭 @naija0329]

Ykw I just realized? Going by the description of the award on the Grammy site, the songs don't have to be sung by an Asian. Meaning if a Western act dropped an Asian language album that was widely recognized in Asia, they could qualify and push Asians out of their own category.

“Admittedly, BTS’ call to withdraw from Grammys consideration comes across as presumptuous.”

SCOUT MAGAZINE??? EXCUSE ME?????????????? WTF

[⊹ ࣪ ˖ @nyhsjtjbts]

dear 2013 bts, you would NEVER believe what 2026 bts just did

[mina saw BTS @7rirang]

and last thing im gonna say is, ARMYs are the only fandom who immediately recognized that new asian category for what it is: blatant racism, while others were celebrating a potential win for their faves. the fact that BTS, an asian group, thinks the same as us says a lot. 🙏🏽

[mira⁷ | ⊙⊝⊜ @minflwrs_]

and i hope that academy will lose their credibility as one of the most "prestigious" award for musicians 😂

"Let music be heard for what it is, not judged by the language it's sung in or the country it comes from."

THAT'S ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL STATEMENTS BANGTAN EVER MADE

[mira⁷ | ⊙⊝⊜ @minflwrs_]

will always be proud of you, my bangtan :)

"so please don't forget that, whether we get the grammys or not, we already got what we wanted, and we got you, so that means we got everything"

♡

[mon⁷ @knjgIoss]

for bts not to submit one of their biggest albums to the grammys this year is huge and i respect them for that. so much was poured into arirang and its message and i feel like it wouldn’t sit right with bts at all especially with the new category the grammys put out

[MJ ⊙⊝⊜ @mj_alwayss]

BTS taking stand against grammys discriminatory practices 👏🏼
