"BTS's Arirang is not an album that requires more validation. This April, the band'a comeback debuted atop the Billboard 200 with the biggest single week of the year so far moving 641K units, more than chart-toppers like Olivia Rodrigo, Noah Kahan, and Drake. […] So it's not like the group needs a Grammy"
NME supported BTS. 🔥
"Pop music is pop music, regardless of geographical location, the racial or ethnic identity of those making it, the language it’s sung in, or any other factor you might choose to segregate people by."

Oh my BTS ;(
"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"
"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
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. 🙏🏽
All seven BTS members stand united in their decision not to submit to the Grammys this year. ✊
"We’ve decided not to submit our work for this year’s Grammy Awards. We hope music will be recognized and loved for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language. Thank you, as always, to ARMY and everyone who supports us." 🔥
