Mind you BTS have been on hiatus for 4 years. Kpop (and other industries across the continent of Asia) never stopped releasing music

But it’s only when BTS return that this “Asian pop” category is introduced

To say that this is about inclusivity is just a bold faced lie

Congratulations to Compose Philippines on the soft launch of its first branch today at Market! Market! 🎉

So apparently, according to people on the ground the first person in line started queueing as early as 4 AM! 😭 The staff were reportedly shocked to see one person order as many as 7 cups but what was even more shocking was someone ordering a whopping 30+ cups! 😂

Fans are also clearly very eager and excited to get their hands on the cupsleeves lollll! The excitement is absolutely overflowing‼️

remember when taehyung appeared on first take, a popular japanese show where artists sing live in one take. there is no edits and retakes and there were accusations of voice modulation cause he sounded just like the studio version 😭

[NME] "NME has long opposed classifications based on specific genres or regions, stating that "pop music is simply pop music, regardless of geographical location, language, or race. In 2021, we argued that the Grammys shouldn’t add an Asian Pop category, writing: “Doing so might give a handful of Kpop groups new bragging rights and a shiny new trophy to display, but how much would it do for them in the wider world? If you’re not already interested in a particular genre or scene, the likelihood of you paying that much attention to a niche category celebrating its artists is low, so the chances of such a field bringing heaps of recognition onto Asian Artists also seems slim.”

“Segregating awards shows by language or region, as already happens with the Grammys’s Latin and “global music” categories, continues to perpetuate the othering of music that isn’t Western, white (until very recently Black artists also struggled to be considered in the main categories) and English-led,” we added.

"#BTS refused to submit in protest against the newly established 'Best Asian Pop Music Performance' category," giving significant weight to the criticism that the creation of a dedicated category would serve as a mechanism to exclude Asian Artists from nominations for major awards (General Field), such as "Album of the Year."

"Meanwhile, we gave ‘Arirang’ a four-star review when it landed last March. “In the days before #BTS made their historic live comeback in Seoul’s Gwanghwamun Square, a banner adorning a nearby building described the group as “Born in Korea. Play for the world.” It’s an apt characterisation of what they’ve always done – mixing the cultural heritage of their home country with global influence, an approach that lights up ‘Arirang’."

— @CBCNews reports over BTS not submitting their music for the Grammys.

"BTS talks, People Listen."

"It's the biggest news in music."

"It's been a humongous year for BTS. Their album, ARIRANG is critically acclaimed, culturally beloved...most of these are factors which leades to thinking that 'hey, this will lead to some GRAMMY consideration' and they are telling us that they are not interested in that in 2027."

Koreli bir vatandaşın grammy ve BTS hakkında yazdıkları gündem olmuş, benim de okurken tüylerim diken diken oldu diye paylaşmak istedim:

başlık: ülke toprağımız küçük olabilir, peki ya gökyüzümüz de mi küçük?

“Kore büyük bir ülke değil, global müzik sektörünün merkezinde hiçbir zaman yer almadı. korece de, ingilizcenin aksine, her gidilen yerde konuşulan ve anlaşılan bir dil de değil. ama küçük bir toprak parçasında doğduk diye bakış açımızı küçük bir gökyüzüyle sınırlayacak değiliz.

BTS, korece şarkılar söyleyerek Pasifik okyanusunu ve Atlas okyanusunu aştı. farklı dilleri konuşan insanlar onların şarkılarını hep bir ağızdan söyledi. kimileri yalnızlığına yoldaş buldu, kimileri kendini sevmeyi öğrendi, kimileri ise çaresizliğin ortasında yeniden yaşama tutunacak o gücü buldu.

eğer grammy onlara bir ödül verirse bunu onlarla birlikte sevinçle kutlarız ama vermezseler de BTS'in yarattığı bu dünya küçülüp gitmeyecek. hiçbir unvan veya etiket, BTS'in müziğinin yankılandığı gökyüzünü daraltamaz.

bir ödül, müzisyenin ellerindedir ancak bir şarkı ise insanın kalbindedir.

bir ödül rafının sınırları vardır ancak bir şarkının uçabileceği gökyüzünün ise asla sınırları yoktur.

bizim gökyüzümüz, Kore Yarımadasıyla sınırlı değil. Pasifik ve Atlas okyanusunu aşarak, ülkelerin ödül salonlarının ya da bölge ve dile göre ayrılmış sınırlarının ötesine geçiyor.

ve işte o gökyüzü, tüm evrene ulaşıyor. BTS'in müziği de o evreni doldurmaya her zaman devam edecek.”
