i love this fandom so bad cause wdym y'all saw the news of them boycotting grammys cause of their constant racism and decided to put the song where they address this very racism on #1
“my favourite bts genre?”
that bts have the biggest spine in the industry to reject grammys and being the first asian act in history who standed up angaist racism, the fact they wrote their response in korean which makes it more powerful.
they were so excited for their first grammy nomination, they went from this somewhat innocent excitement and anticipation to realizing how fucked up the industry is towards them
bts choosing not to submit their music to the grammys in the one year they were almost certainly in a position to earn nominations is such a powerful statement.
the recording academy created a category to separate asian artists instead of recognizing them alongside their peers, reflecting a long-standing lack of respect and equal recognition for artists across an entire continent and the world.
bts lives and breathes music.
this decision isn’t just about them: it’s about standing up for fairness, dignity, and the artists who come after them. they’re taking a meaningful step not only for themselves, but for asian artists and the global music community as a whole.
I couldn’t be prouder.
We have decided not to submit to the Grammys this year. I hope that music can be heard and loved for its own sake, rather than being distinguishef by region or language. Thank you to ARMY and everyone who is always with us.
PROUD OF YOU BTS!!
and no matter how much people like to pretend it was for representation, grammys introduced their little asian category to keep them away from the main one so they can keep rewarding their american artists freely. I am glad the boys are stepping away from the racist shitshow
jakie to musi być męczące, patrzeć całą swoją karierę jak powstają osobne charts i kategorie dla azji i kpopu, kiedy tylko ignorowanie twojego sukcesu przestaje być możliwe. wszystko żeby odciągnąć cię od głównych kategorii i nagradzać w kółko tych samych ulubionych artystów
yoongi yelling “ishowspeed”, namjoon calling speed by his government name darren watkins, hoseok reaching out for him first, 2seok barking, jungkook jumping with joy. they’re true fans😭😭
last concert in europe today and I cannot thank enough all the army that attended our spots. madrid, brussels, london, munich and paris crowds made history and I am sure they’ll add more european dates next time they tour here. they’ll never forget us. we did so well 🥺
SUGA holding a telephone receiver to the ear of a statue. A phone exists for conversation, yet a statue can never listen or respond. It's communication without connection.
If the statue represents a fixed image or persona, then the scene suggests that no matter how much you try to explain yourself, you're still speaking to an unchanging perception. The real person keeps talking, but the image everyone knows never answers back.
So the entire MV is FILLED with symbolisms, as we had expected. These give me chills.
This object that is on the salon where they're all together, resembles a Dome Mirror.
These mirrors have a 360 panoramic view, which eliminates blind spots. The symbolism is clear.
