Grammy-winning R&B legend and original Broadway The Wiz star Stephanie Mills🔥🔥👏👏👏👏 showed her support for BTS by sharing Rolling Stone India’s post about BTS pulling ARIRANG from Grammy consideration, calling their decision “so brave” and saying, “I admire these young men💛” 💜👏👏👏
Bang Yongguk, former leader of K-Pop Hi-Hop group B.A.P, has shared #BTS decision to not submit their music to Grammys on his Instagram Story.

I don't think people fully understand the magnitude of this decision.
Some of the music industry's most respected producers, writers, engineers, and creatives worked on ARIRANG. A project built to the highest artistic standard. One producer even spoke publicly about hoping the album would receive Grammy recognition.
Then the Recording Academy introduced a category specifically for Asian pop.
And BTS chose not to submit.
Think about that. The biggest musical project of the year. One of the strongest commercial and artistic contenders. A project that could have competed across multiple major categories. It simply won't be in the race because the artists chose principle over prestige.
Moves like this don't happen often. When artists at BTS' level willingly walk away from the biggest stage in music, the conversation shifts because of what they refused to endorse.
huge difference between breaking records and becoming part of the cultural lexicon btw.. having songs that multiple generations can sing from top to bottom even decades later is #real longevity, but congrats ig
Ella Langley has broken a record she previously held with Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.
Her song ‘Choosin’ Texas’ has officially spent more weeks (15) at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart than ‘I Will Always Love You’ and ‘We Belong Together.’ (14)
