"Tidak ada seorang pun yang membeli tiket konser di Los Angeles, London, São Paulo, atau Paris yang bertanya apakah BTS pantas bersaing di kategori Asia sebelum pantas berada di kategori global. Stadion-stadion itu dipenuhi oleh penggemar dari puluhan kewarganegaraan, banyak di antaranya bahkan tidak berbicara bahasa Korea selain lirik lagu yang mereka hafalkan dengan penuh kecintaan."
"Ketika seorang artis telah mencapai tingkat pengaruh budaya seperti itu, pertanyaannya bukan lagi, 'Mengapa mereka belum punya Grammy?' Jujur saja, pertanyaannya adalah, 'Mengapa Grammy masih perlu meyakinkan dunia bahwa mereka mampu mengakui artis seperti BTS?'"
Every artist you named was born and raised in the US, identify and marketed as american artists, sing in english and has never released music in asian language. there's a big difference between being asian and being an american with asian ancestry.

C'est ouf comment TOUT LE MONDE est d'accord avec la décision de BTS à boycotter les grammys, que ce soit les armys, les producteurs, les locals, les influenceurs, tous SAUF les fans de kpop ptdrrr mais j'ai une théorie :
So the people who created the Asian category at the Grammys apparently didn't realize that English is the first language in some Asian countries. Saying a song has to be in an Asian language to qualify just shows how rushed and poorly thought out the category was lol.
So a member of the Recording Academy committee responsible for this insulting new Asian Pop category just publicly accused BTS of “tearing them down” in public so they could generate press attention. Insulting their integrity in the middle of all this is *quite* a choice.
Arirang by BTS is on pace to become the best selling kpop album globally of all time, currently at 12.5M units (according to chartmasters).
They are projected to surpass their own album, Be (14.8M).
Is it too soon to talk about how this isn’t even a Grammy issue but a problem with how white people in particular have centered themselves on the world stage of music and convinced everyone that their specific opinions on music are most important?
comparing "asian pop" with jazz or country categories when those are music GENRES and the other one is a geographical label i knew americans weren't the brightest but it will always surprise me
grammy/recording academy for the first time IN HISTORY responded to an artist's notice of withdrawal from their awards from their official accounts. other artists when they showed their reaction they weren't afraid, but i am sure they deeply felt what kind of loss of reputation a reaction from an artist at the maximum of a global power like bts would create. the number of media outlets asking them for a answer must have crossed the limit that required them to make a statement from their official accounts
BTS' "Aliens" reaches a new peak of #1 on the US iTunes Songs Chart.
— The song confronts xenophobia, challenges prejudice within the Western music industry, and embraces BTS' identity as cultural outsiders on the global music scene.
“oh my little cousin wants to play the game, let’s give him the unplugged controller so he could shut up and feel good about it” is what that “best asian pop” category is btw
