for bts not to submit one of their biggest albums to the grammys this year is huge and i respect them for that. so much was poured into arirang and its message and i feel like it wouldn’t sit right with bts at all especially with the new category the grammys put out
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
and while were at it! fuck you @billboardcharts ! dont you for a second think we've forgot how many 'rules' youve added over the years because youre scared of the success and power these seven boys have
paving the way doesnt always mean the first to win an award, it means the one who makes impact where it matters and allows for those who follow in their footsteps to be seen and treated fairly too. that is what bts are doing, and that takes courage
okay but seeing bts go from wanting a grammy more than anything and being genuinely excited to not giving a fuck because of how many times the industry has played in their face… my heart is hurting
i dont think y’all realize how fucking cool it is to just openly announce you are not submitting for the grammys because of their mistreatment. it takes a lot to have that kind of courage. they said FUCK that racist organization. BTS are truly the most inspiring artists ever
