Probablemente este sea uno de los momentos más emocionante y lindo de esta edición. Antes de dormir, Pincoya fue donde Sol a decirle unas palabras mientras le hacía cariño y luego ambas se abrazaron. #GranHermano
Sol: Gracias Pinco… Te quiero de verdad, me encariñé mucho con vos de verdad.
quem precisa de grammy quando a sua influência é tão grande que faz milhares de estrangeiros, não-falantes de coreano, cantarem uma canção folclórica do seu pais, no seu idioma?
isso, meus amigos, é IMPACTO, RELEVÂNCIA E PRESTÍGIO.
Director Bao M. Nguyen’s IG post:
“What I found wasn’t just one of the biggest bands in the world. I found seven artists who have remained remarkably grounded through extraordinary success,who lead with conviction, and who never lose sight of who they

The Recording Academy has never faced this level of public scrutiny over one of its own decisions ever before.
BTS didn't ignite this discussion for personal gain. They challenged a principle that affects artists far beyond themselves.
— “We hope music itself can be heard and loved rather than being distinguished by region or language”
Their message is bigger than anything. It's a call for unity over division and universality over segregation.
Now it's our turn. Keep the conversation going. Keep asking the difficult questions. Keep advocating for a music industry that recognizes excellence without creating separate lanes. Music belongs to everyone.

"Most artists you interact with are children they're people who got money when they were young or came from money. BTS, on the other hand, are completely professional, completely straight-focused, and always working."
Dear whoever you are,
Your "20 years of struggle" doesn't give you the right to disrespect j-hope, especially when you clearly haven't sat with an album as critically acclaimed as “Jack In The Box”. And don't put him in the same sentence as idols from other labels who use company influence to collab with whoever's trending.
j-hope and BTS started from the bottom if you didn’t know that, a struggling company, zero industry privileges, even mocked by parts of the Korean hip-hop scene early on. They didn't get here on luck. They got here on preparation meeting opportunity. Big Hit didn't make BTS, BTS made Big Hit /HYBE what it is today.
Korean music critic Randy Suh put it well in a 2018 piece: "j-hope doesn't really owe the Korean hip hop scene much because it isn't where he got his start. He has since said with confidence that his musical roots are the 1980s and '90s hip hop that he grew up dancing to"
He didn't come up through the underground rap scene, but he spent his late teens studying it and building a flow that's entirely his own. That groundwork is what made him the first South Korean artist to headline a major U.S. festival, not a Big Hit connection, but raw talent. That's also where he met J. Cole in person, told him he was his muse, and exchanged numbers. That friendship started artist to artist, not through some HYBE rep making a call. 🤨
“on the street” with J.Cole is j-hope’s way of paying respect to one his early hip-hop inspirations. He gave Jermaine has more bars in the song, that’s how much he respects him.
j-hope only collaborates with people he genuinely respects. Korean hip-hop legends like Yoon Mirae and Gaeko who joined him on "Neuron" didn't show up because he's popular. They showed up because they believe in his skill, and because he's cited them as inspirations since day one.
Years in the game don't automatically make you more deserving than someone else. Sure, some artists lean hard on their label, can't rap or sing live, and still get everything handed to them. But j-hope has never been one of them.
Twenty years of experience should teach you the difference between resenting someone’s success and understanding it. j-hope’s is the kind you study, not the kind you dismiss.
Oh, the irony of this guy.
His name is Paloalto, and guess what, that time in 2013 when B-Free dissed BTS's RM and SUGA on a YouTube podcast, B-Free was signed under his label HI-LITE RECORDS.
So now dude be bringing the same energy how many years later on JHOPE. Jealousy is a disease for sure.
JHOPE is a very talented rapper, and he and BTS have worked so hard to get where they are today, and never push any of their juniors down. They always show them so much support, while others on their high horses are just drowning in their saltiness.

"un edit no puede hacerte llorar"
Pero es J-hope que paso de hacer conciertos en solitario y comer miel solo, a nuevamente hacer conciertos y comer miel con sus 6 miembros 😭
La manera en cómo Yoongi falla el tiro y Namjoon automáticamente diciendo lo tierno que está siendo Yoongi y las risas de todos, EL NAMGI 😭😭😭
🐱: *falla el tiro*
🐨: ¿No te estás comportando de forma demasiado tierna?
