metlife you need to be LOUD. the whole concert, beginning to end. it will be their first concert after this announcement. the support and love we have for them and their art needs to be loud and clear.
This is like saying the club is open for everyone and you are free to enter through any door, but we've already reserved your seat next to the toilet and that's where you'll sit.
Taehyung is truly something else. He posted about BTS’s decision to not submit their music to Grammys over a screenshot showing that he reached Master, the highest rank, in the game's Solo/Duo mode in League of Legends
In League of Legends' ranked ladder, Master is one of the highest tiers
I don't think people fully understand the magnitude of this decision.
Some of the music industry's most respected producers, writers, engineers, and creatives worked on ARIRANG. A project built to the highest artistic standard. One producer even spoke publicly about hoping the album would receive Grammy recognition.
Then the Recording Academy introduced a category specifically for Asian pop.
And BTS chose not to submit.
Think about that. The biggest musical project of the year. One of the strongest commercial and artistic contenders. A project that could have competed across multiple major categories. It simply won't be in the race because the artists chose principle over prestige.
Moves like this don't happen often. When artists at BTS' level willingly walk away from the biggest stage in music, the conversation shifts because of what they refused to endorse.
BTS and HYBE's statement!
"We find it difficult to accept that this change in the Grammys' judging was made at a time when BTS was considered to have the highest chance of winning the main award." However, HYBE stated, "This is not a boycott at the company level." One official said, "If other artists from the same affiliation wish to participate, they will proceed as scheduled."
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
@PopBase BTS was the first K-pop artist to get a Grammy nomination, and now BTS is the first K-pop artist to tell the Grammys to fuck off. For that reason, it will always be BTS.💜💥
