ART HAS NO ALIENS

We hope music itself can be heard and loved rather than being distinguished by region or language.

"Most artists fight to stay relevant after a three-year break. BTS returned to stadiums that were already too small."
Worth reading!

This BTS era is wild. They haven't given K-media, K-music shows, the industry, or the GRAMMYS one single crumb. A true CULTURAL RESET is happening right in front of our eyes. THIS IS WHAT TRUE POWER LOOKS LIKE!

"They called it diversity. But paradoxically, diversity became a label, a tag that permanently keeps certain artists outside mainstream." — Chase Kang , journalist from Rollingstone Korea.
Dear Grammys, BTS' legacy never needed validation | @filmybugB
For over a decade, the question surrounding BTS was always the same: When will they win a Grammy? Perhaps we were asking the wrong question. Because after everything BTS have achieved, the more interesting one is this: What happens when the world’s biggest band decides it no longer needs to ask for a seat at the table?
In a unified statement shared across all seven members’ Instagram accounts, RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook wrote, “We have decided not to enter the Grammys this year. I hope music itself can be heard and loved rather than being distinguished by region or language.”
Three sentences only, and it may well be the most consequential statement the group has made about the global music industry in years.

NME supported BTS. 🔥
"Pop music is pop music, regardless of geographical location, the racial or ethnic identity of those making it, the language it’s sung in, or any other factor you might choose to segregate people by."

except for tablo from epik high, no peer of bts in k-pop supported bts today. an industry critic said that only bts could show this backbone and that k-pop has to bow down to the grammys. while bts wanted to protect the industry's pride, we learned that the industry has no pride.
