Love yourself. Love myself. Peace. ✌

[t⁷ with BTS @taesoothe]

Louder Than Bombs is the only surprise song on this entire tour that's never been performed. NEVER. Not concerts, not musters, not comeback shows, not in special content. Only once in BTS and armys history.

Tonight.

If a Western artist had released this album, it would’ve won way more than 19 Grammys by now

[mehreen⁷ @taytanniess]

I'd rather BTS receive no nomination at all than be boxed into categories like this. It feels less like recognition and more like segregation, especially when they're more than qualified to compete in the main categories alongside Big Western artists.

[𝐴𝑠ℎ⁷ @kthnoir7]

There’s a lot to unpack here, and I’m going to say it directly. I dont care if I get cancelled but this needs to be said.

For years, BTS were told they weren’t big enough, mainstream enough, or "Grammy material." Then they became one of the biggest acts in the world. They broke records, sold out stadiums across continents, topped charts repeatedly, and built a global cultural impact that few artists in history can match.

And when they became too successful to ignore?

The Grammys nominated "Dynamite" and "Butter"—both English-language songs.

Let that sink in.

The songs that got BTS into the major Grammy conversation were the songs that fit most comfortably into the Western industry framework. Yet BTS's discography is filled with critically acclaimed Korean-language music that has had enormous cultural and artistic impact.

Now we have a "Best Asian Pop Music Performance" category.

And before anyone calls that progress, let's ask the obvious question: why does there need to be a separate category at all?

If Asian artists are good enough to dominate global charts, sell millions of records, headline festivals, influence culture worldwide, and compete with every major artist in the industry, then they are good enough for the same categories as everyone else.

Inclusion isn't creating a separate lane after Asian artists prove they can win in the existing ones.

Inclusion is treating them as equals.

That's why BTS's lyrics in "Aliens" hit so hard:

"어쩜 그래 shameless
예의를 차려 we aliens
해는 동쪽에서 risin'
Aliens, aliens"

No matter how successful some artists become, there are still systems and institutions that treat them as perpetual outsiders.
And that's exactly why this conversation matters.
Because when BTS were impossible to ignore, the response shouldn't have been to create another box and place Asian artists inside it. The response should have been to judge them by the same standards as every other artist competing for the biggest awards in music.

ARMYs, we have a mission.

Talk about Arirang everywhere. Put it in AOTY conversations. Put it in ROTY conversations. Write threads. Make edits. Share analyses. Start discussions.

If we believe it deserves those nominations, then let's make enough noise that nobody can pretend it doesn't belong in the room.

They ignored BTS until they couldn't.

Let's make sure they can't ignore Arirang either.

[moon @poetrysmyg]

Namjoon on weverse:

Hello. On this beautiful day, I am writing to you for the first time in a while.I do not particularly like or deeply believe in the phrase "someone saving someone else." However, having undeservedly heard such words from time to time, it makes me look back and realize that perhaps I, too, was saved by all of you.I am trying to live my life more simply, cleanly, or perhaps more boldly than before. The moments I fall into deep sentimentality have decreased significantly. Even so, the fact that the world is still a sad place seems unavoidable, no matter how many happy days there are. Then again, maybe it is actually because I am just so happy.I have shared so many words and thrown so many sounds your way. I do not exactly know which melody or which pebble managed to reach each of you sitting here right now. Yet, I feel like I will always be someone who keeps sending and throwing things out like that—just as I did thirteen years ago, and just as I will in the future. As long as there is all of you to listen. It brings me immense joy that we can create memories together and grow older year by year. I love that I can still shout out to someone. Time and again, I see myself through you. Do you experience that too?Thank you once again for sharing this precious anniversary with me. Today is Saturday the 13th, an incomparably beautiful day. No matter what anyone says about what this means, I want to keep building anniversaries and memories that only we know deep in our hearts. As always, I look forward to our time together. I love you

Joon I love you so much🙁💙

[RM IS OUR PRESIDENT @namkook99]

With Come Over officially released namjoon make history as the most credited songwriter in KOMCA history with a total of 245 registered works under his name 😭

[kay⁷ @AesopsFableFly]

For new armys, Paldogangsan is a complex track that emphasises bts’ roots and the regional dialects of the members! Paldogangsan got huge amounts of praise nationally for its lyrics as regional dialects were rarely highlighted in kpop/k-hiphop scenes

[🎼p a b o⁷🎼🪭 @aegyoeobta]

might be terribly late but just realised this is the only time we'll ever celebrate a bts anniversary thats the same number as the debut date and year and now im sad. 13th year, on the 13th of june, with their debut year being 2013 🥺
