Critic Lim on #BTS’s decision “The fact that a single Asian artist has rebelled against a massive awards ceremony and opened a forum for public discourse demanding change demonstrates immense influence in itself.”

They are the only asian artist that have the nerve to do that! 👏🔥

HYBE reportedly clarified that BTS' decision to not submit for this year's Grammys was not part of a label-wide boycott.

The company said other HYBE artists will continue submitting their work individually, while BTS chose not to submit after careful deliberation, saying the decision was made to "protect the status and pride of the kpop industry as a whole."

and last thing im gonna say is, ARMYs are the only fandom who immediately recognized that new asian category for what it is: blatant racism, while others were celebrating a potential win for their faves. the fact that BTS, an asian group, thinks the same as us says a lot. 🙏🏽

BTS Announces They Won’t Submit to the Grammys This Year.❌

"We’ve decided not to submit our work for this year’s Grammy Awards. We hope music will be recognized and loved for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language. Thank you, as always, to ARMY and everyone who supports us." ✊

7/7.

“we have decided not to submit for the grammys this year.

we hope that music can be heard and appreciated for what it is, rather than being defined by region or language.

thank you to army and to everyone who has always supported us.”

[jungkook admirer @dreamjeons]

"so please don't forget that, whether we get the grammys or not, we already got what we wanted, and we got you, so that means we got everything"

♡

[🏡 @homeisjungkook]

it’s a win for us. any group that does submit for a category that was created to segregate Asian artists will go down in history as spineless and desperate. BTS have integrity, self-respect, and strength in genuine support— the most admirable award there is.

[mon⁷ @knjgIoss]

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

SAY IT LOUDER, ALIENS 🗣️🗣️

[mina saw BTS @7rirang]

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
