thinking abt these kpop artists POSSIBLY getting nominated in the same category as BTS when they haven't even experienced half of what BTS had to go through to get to where they are now just doesn't sit right w/ me
This is what the term 'PAVING THE WAY' actually means btw,, a whole "Asian Pop" category introduced by the Grammys solely to segregate & exclude #BTS from the main categories despite them out-performing every single American Act with "ARIRANG" this year both on charts & critics score,,
Same methodology was applied by all the other western award shows (BBMAs, PCAs, VMAs, AMAs) that introduced a whole new "K-pop" Category after 2018-19,,
Yall deny "BTS PAVED THE WAY" out of bitterness while your faves keep reaping the fruits of their efforts,,
BTS has officially crossed 100 BILLION on-demand audio streams across all platforms, becoming the FIRST Group in history to do so.
— They're also the FIRST Asian Act and ONLY the 7th Act in history to reach the milestone.
