“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.
você percebe que o Grammy REALMENTE sentiu esse aviso de não participação dos meninos quando para pra analisar que eles apenas postaram e estão seguindo a vida normalmente... enquanto isso o Grammy postou nota, apagou vídeos deles, Ceo se pronunciou, votantes estão se pronunciando, gente ligada ao Grammy quase arrancando pêlo da xereca pra defender a premiação
e os meninos seguindo a vida, indo viajar pra cumprir os próximos shows sem se importar com toda essa bagunça acontecendo, eles estão seguros da decisão, eles sabem que não são eles saindo perdendo
bts gave their statement in an Instagram story in a few sentences and made a very clear point while the 👵🏻 guy wrote a whole generic speech which amounted to nothing 🤡
BTS said it in Black Swan. They were never afraid of losing fame or popularity. What they feared was losing their love passion for music. And that’s what has always set them apart. They have stayed sincere to their art and that’s what made BTS who they are
🐹 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 suddenly the “first kpop song/artist to win in a kpop category Grammy award” bears little to no weight anymore.
That’s how powerful BTS’s statement is.
this ripple will turn into a wave. locals will learn why bts didn’t submit, everyone from journalists to reactor channels will be covering the news, other artists will be showing full support, and a whole new wave of fans will come from learning about this decision alone.
