And I think it’s okay to admit that in all this, there is hurt.
The hurt of knowing how much love, artistry and sweat went into the making of ARIRANG, only to deliberately exclude it from being recognised in response to institutional tokenism and xenophobia.
two things were dangled in front of bts for the longest time. military exemption and the grammy. and in both cases they took the reins of the systems that tied them to exploitative schemes with the promise of a reward that was always just out of reach. hope they feel lighter now
as poc can we not just fucking stand up 💀💀💀 imagine at YOUR LITERAL JOB they had employee of the month and then asian employee of the month alongside it
except for tablo from epik high, no peer of bts in k-pop supported bts today. an industry critic said that only bts could show this backbone and that k-pop has to bow down to the grammys. while bts wanted to protect the industry's pride, we learned that the industry has no pride.
genuinely feel like pre-covid armys are the most gagged rn like they wanted that Grammy so bad y’all like if you asked me in 2018 if I think bts would ever boycott the Grammys I’d call you crazy😭😭😭😭
