The New York Times on BTS' Grammy withdrawal.

“The largest Asian entertainment companies, with lots of new acts to promote, may not want to fight that system on principle. But BTS, possibly the biggest act in the world since Jackson, is perhaps the only Korean recording act with the freedom and leverage to spark a reckoning.

So will this be a moment where artists and entrepreneurs conspire to force the major institutions of this business to break its addiction to racism dressed up as demography?

Every artist, whether BTS or Bad Bunny, deserves access to the largest market without being filtered out or qualified.”

BTS has announced that they will not be submitting music from their comeback album Arirang for consideration at the 2027 #Grammys — a month after the Recording Academy announced the new Best Asian Pop Music Performance category.

Lewis would definitely make the cut for the Zoo's Olympic team. One of the fastest land animals, his muscular legs allow him to run as fast as 35 mph. Plus, at 18 feet tall, he would be a shoo-in for basketball! 🏀
