You guyz dont know how much I am obsessed with Taehyung. Obsessed with his face , obsessed with his voice ,obsessed with his personality. Obsessed with whatever he says. If he says OT7 then bitch OT7 for life. If he says Borahae then purple runs through me. If he says something .
So zero research went into this before drafting continent-wide criteria? You just demonstrated how deeply out-of-touch and ill-prepared this process was.
I'm glad this unprofessional institution is losing its power.
For your consideration, go back to school @RecordingAcad.
The music industry just lost the chance to celebrate one of biggest artistic projects.
BTS delivered one of the year's most ambitious, musically diverse project, collaborating with some of the industry's biggest names, many of whom have openly praised their creativity, innovation, professionalism, and relentless work ethic.
And yet, the Recording Academy won't even have the opportunity to recognize it, because the artists chose not to submit it after years of the Academy failing to build a system that truly reflects inclusion.
Let's be clear: BTS do not need a Grammy to validate their legacy. They built a global phenomenon, helped redefine the boundaries of pop music, and continue to fill stadiums across continents with fans singing every lyric, every verse, every note.
If anything, it's the so-called most prestigious music awards that lose when a project of this scale and caliber refuse to get refuses to seek its validation.

jadi udah tau kan seberpengaruh apa bangtan? kalo sama dunia dianggap artis ecek ecek mah media sama orang orang RA gak bakal heboh liput dan klarif bikin story panjang lebar wkwk heboh bener, yg gak bakal submit nya aja malah anteng mau konser ☺️
explicarle a un kpoper lo profundo que es realmente el tema de la xenofobia y racismo en la industria musical es como intentar explicarle a un hombre machista el machismo, peor aún cuando el kpoper es un hombre con pfp de una idol femenina
CNN
Becky Anderson and Lisa Respers France report on BTS decision to not submit for the Grammy’s after the academic announced a controversial new category “Best Asian Pop”
#ArtHasNoAliens@RecordingAcad
the way bts all went and dropped the same statement a few nights ago and completely moved on from it/with their lives while mfs are losing their minds is such a boss move actually
Porque salen la gente de los grammy a a dar sus versiones? Si BTS como cualquier otro artista solo esta decidiendo no mandar su trabajo y ya? Jajajajaj sus lloriqueos en instagram solo demuestran lo culpables que se sienten
Notes to self.
So BTS could have submitted:
ARIRANG for Album of the Year
SWIM for Record of the Year
Various songs for Song of the Year
A Korean-language track for the new Best Asian Pop Music Performance
look at this cute interaction of a thv girl who dressed up in red and w a bandana (as many does) I mean in all taehyung's branding impact, she was holding a pancart saying "V I choose you" her friends was filming it and they went all crazy when they noticed that he saw and smiled
