quando o ato mais bem sucedido de 2026 é um grupo asiático é claro que eles criariam uma categoria para os colocarem numa caixa e os deixarem de fora das categorias principais. bts nao incomodou apenas fas de diva pop com arirang, ne? kkkkkkkk
nugu stans celebrating bc they think their faves have a chance now truly lack the critical thinking to see the big picture. you are cheering for a system that just put a glass ceiling on the whole asian music industry. fawking embarrassing.
the timing of a new “asian pop” category while a major asian act is having one of the most successful albums globally really exposes the problem: it’s segregation and not inclusion.
when non western artists are still underrepresented in major categories, it doesn’t feel like recognition for the asian music market, but containment. they deserve to win, but they cannot, so let’s give them a candy that excludes them a bit further. at least it looks pretty, right?
it’s unfortunate how the “how are you so shameless” line from aliens always hits.
bts BEEN a threat to american music industry so ofc they gon try their hardest to separate them from main categories as long as the industry plants & mediocre white artists don't get snubbed
I might get jumped for saying this but its extremely odd how people will do a background check on anyone that has a positive interaction with bts and it reeks of jealousy
