“we hope that music can be heard and loved for what it is, rather than being distinguished by region or language”
and they made 80k+ international fans sing their korean song word for word. this is what you have earned bts. your impact is bigger than any award.

#WeStandWithBTS
BTS spent years opening doors that weren’t built for them. now they have the freedom to decide which ones are worth walking through. bts are truly living legends.
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
🐹 We were fans of artists who speak the different languages from us but we didn’t think differently of them because of that. I was a fan of them & still am & I don’t think a language is a barrier. I’ve always cared more about the emotions in their music
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
