hace 30 años, Tupac criticó a los Grammys por ser una industria controlada por gente desconectada del arte y del cambio. Años después, Namjoon hace referencia a él en 2.0: “Hit ’em up like (Tu)Pac. Hit ’em with the truth like Ra(kim)”
(Atácalos como Tupac. Enfréntalos con la verdad como Rakim)
ironíco que BTS esté haciendo exactamente eso, decir la verdad y desafiar un sistema que durante años los uso mientras les negaba el reconocimiento, ARIRANG es más de lo que pensamos
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
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
"Let music be heard for what it is, not judged by the language it's sung in or the country it comes from."
THAT'S ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL STATEMENTS BANGTAN EVER MADE
for bts not to submit one of their biggest albums to the grammys this year is huge and i respect them for that. so much was poured into arirang and its message and i feel like it wouldn’t sit right with bts at all especially with the new category the grammys put out
We have decided not to submit to the Grammys this year. I hope that music can be heard and loved for its own sake, rather than being distinguishef by region or language. Thank you to ARMY and everyone who is always with us.
PROUD OF YOU BTS!!
