How nonchalantly they namedropped big3 artists in fcvking coacheIIa through obvious industry connections while not even once mentioning BTS,, the one who actually broke through barriers and became the first asian act to be mainstream in the west organically,, it's only when they publicly rebuked this joke of a category that these people addressed them to accuse them "we have been torn down by one of the biggest Asian artists for press",, I'm starting to think this category had a huge push from the K-pop BIG3,, using smaller Asian artists as a veil to mask the real intentions behind this category. No wonder Grammys specifically namedropped K-pop alongside J-pop & C-pop to look a lil unbiased when introducing this category. Even if the Academy uses it to box BTS, if big3 groups even get a nomination alongside them in this category, it'll be enough to mediaplay that like there's no tomorrow.

Grammy CEO being close business partner with SM famous for its bribery. The asian comittee leader being a kpoopie who hasn't considered half of asia. It was all carved to exploit BTS, to exploit everything BTS achieved on their own and paid off with their own hardships. For creating nominations to other kpop acts, who for years failed to earn any in real genre categories

i was today years old when i learned that the latin category says that the song can win if they have over 50% of Spanish lyrics which completely ignores Brazil as they speak Portuguese!!! please keep talking about these categories cause wtf!!!

“BigHit Music, açıklamanın tam olarak yazıldığı şekliyle değerlendirilmesini istedi, bu şekilde bakıldığında ise açıklama dikkat çekici bir nitelik taşıyor çünkü herhangi bir talep içermiyor. Boykot eylemleri talepler üzerine kuruludur. Oysa bu açıklama hiçbir talepte bulunmadı, herhangi bir koşul öne sürmedi, bir şikayet dile getirmedi ve Recording Academy’ye onları yeniden kazanmaları için bir yol sunmadı. Kararına hala ihtiyaç duyduğunuz bir kurumla tartışma yaparsınız, kararını artık geride bıraktığınız bir kuruma ise sadece durum bildirirsiniz.”

Brilliant arguments actually 🙌🙌 and this is auto translation from korean, so han rive is actually hang kang ( a korean nobel prize winner)

@bluelovethv_ Yo solo me diría que no se hizo la miel para la boca del cerdo 💅

Perfecto

GRAMMYS DELETED THEIR REEL ABOUT THE BEST ASIAN CATEGORY FROM THEIR PAGE AFTER RESTRICTING THE COMMENTS FIRST, AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN MENTION BTS DESPITE THEM BEING PIONEERS LMAO 🔗 instagram.com/reel/DYqXTCTpd…

It's so beautiful to see artists speaking up. Atleast some are! "As a small artist from a small city Hong Kong. Am i delusional to even think about the Grammys? Writing and producing is my artistry im proud of and i write songs in English. Only songs i make completely in Cantonese are "eligible". Im a voting member since 2024, i was a bit shocked to see this award got pushed forward without a conversation with the asian musict. community outside US. maybe they dides within kpop but im an non kpop asian small artist or im too new as a a member to be in wrote and song the conversation. But still, as a musician, one of the dream is to get a grammy, but maybe i Il just need to focus to build a fanbase and keep making good music...Hope its ok to speak out my thoughts at this moment. I love music and music is my life." vt.tiktok.com/ZS4McdW1D/

The rise of European artists did not trigger you to create new categories for them. The rise of Latin, African, and Asian artists triggered you to create multiple region/language categories. @RecordingAcad SPEAK UP #ArtHasNoAliens #Grammys #BTS #Culture

this is actually a great point that I haven't seen a lot of people bringing up. zeena talked about shining a light on asian artists but this category is simply a response to the fact that asian artists have already been shining, and a pretty delayed response at that

Disney+ taking over the Grammys from 2027 won’t mean a thing if we don’t tune in. ​When that broadcast goes live, we switch off ABC, Hulu, and Disney+ completely and host a massive global re-watch party for "BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG" on Netflix instead. What do you say? Shall we? Pass it along if you agree....

If BTS had accepted the nomination, the industry and the media would absolutely be patting themselves on the back and shouting "progress" from the rooftops. They would have used BTS’s face, their name, and our fandom to validate a separate, locked box and the scary part is, a lot of casual viewers would have fallen for it. Here is exactly how that fake narrative would have played out, and why BTS’s refusal is the ultimate power move 1. The Validation Trap If they had submitted, the Recording Academy would have weaponized their acceptance. The Shiny Distraction: The Grammys would have put a big spotlight on the new "Best Asian Pop Music Performance" category during the main broadcast. They would have used BTS to make it look like a historic, progressive milestone for diversity. The Shield: Behind the scenes, the voting committees would have used that nomination as a shield to completely exclude them from Album of the Year or Record of the Year. They would have said, "Look, we gave them their own category, what more do they want?" 2. The Viewership Bait The Grammys never expected the biggest artist in the room to reject them because they are used to artists bowing down for a trophy. The Real Agenda: If BTS accepted, the show would have done what it always does: tease their category and their performance until the very last minutes of the 3-hour broadcast just to keep ARMY watching and driving up their social media impressions. The Reality Check: The second BTS said, "No thank you," the entire illusion shattered. It proved that a category is only considered "a good idea" by gatekeepers as long as they can use top-tier stars to legitimize it. Without BTS, the category loses its mainstream commercial weight, and the Academy is left holding a hollow box. 3. Exposing the Fake Allyship BTS walking away completely stripped the Academy of its progressive makeup. The True Intent Exposed: By refusing to step into that regional side door, BTS forced the industry to look at the category for what it actually is: a glass ceiling disguised as a participation trophy. The Power of "No": It proves that true progress isn't letting gatekeepers decide how to segregate us; true progress is having the power to look at a rigged system and refuse to give it your power. They thought they could gaslight us into thinking this was a step forward, but BTS showed the entire world that you don't need a seat at a table that was built to keep you in a corner.

And they say being a fan is just drooling over their handsome faces.

A artista chinesa independente XTIE, votante do Grammy, saiu em defesa do pronunciamento do BTS sobre a categoria "Pop Asiático" em seu TikTok. "Só pra dar uma perspectiva sobre a controvérsia do Grammy: Eu sou uma artista de Hong Kong. Eu usei melodias do folk cantonês nessa música*. Eu usei instrumentos chineses. Eu a escrevi e produzi. Mas ela não está elegível a 'Pop Asiático' porque eu a cantei em inglês. (...) Eu sou membro votante da Academia desde 2024, e fiquei chocada de ver que essa categoria foi aprovada sem antes ter tido uma conversa com a comunidade artística asiática fora dos Estados Unidos." *A música é Star Potential, linkada nos comentários.

[📍] En mayo, la cuenta oficial de los GRAMMYs publicó un reel en colaboración con Frankie Yaptinchay, Global Head of K-Pop de Amazon Music y cofundador de la Gold Music Alliance de la Recording Academy, y Zeena Koda, ex ejecutiva de Atlantic Records y actual VP Marketing de UMG, además de ser una de las impulsoras de la nueva categoría para artistas asiáticos. Durante 3 minutos y 43 segundos, ambos conversan sobre cómo los artistas asiáticos están transformando la industria musical global, la importancia de una representación auténtica, la construcción de comunidad, la necesidad de abrir más espacios para el talento asiático y de crear oportunidades para las nuevas generaciones. ¿Y saben quién no fue mencionado ni una sola vez? El grupo que rompió las barreras del idioma, abrió el mercado global para los artistas asiáticos, cambió la percepción de la industria sobre la música en otros idiomas y demostró que un artista asiático podía competir de igual a igual en las categorías principales de la música mundial estuvo completamente ausente de una conversación que, en teoría, trataba precisamente de ese cambio. Un detalle adicional Frankie Yaptinchay, también es un miembro de la academia con derecho a voto. ARMY, creo que no hace falta decir mucho más.

[NME] "NME has long opposed classifications based on specific genres or regions, stating that "pop music is simply pop music, regardless of geographical location, language, or race. In 2021, we argued that the Grammys shouldn’t add an Asian Pop category, writing: “Doing so might give a handful of Kpop groups new bragging rights and a shiny new trophy to display, but how much would it do for them in the wider world? If you’re not already interested in a particular genre or scene, the likelihood of you paying that much attention to a niche category celebrating its artists is low, so the chances of such a field bringing heaps of recognition onto Asian Artists also seems slim.” “Segregating awards shows by language or region, as already happens with the Grammys’s Latin and “global music” categories, continues to perpetuate the othering of music that isn’t Western, white (until very recently Black artists also struggled to be considered in the main categories) and English-led,” we added. "#BTS refused to submit in protest against the newly established 'Best Asian Pop Music Performance' category," giving significant weight to the criticism that the creation of a dedicated category would serve as a mechanism to exclude Asian Artists from nominations for major awards (General Field), such as "Album of the Year." "Meanwhile, we gave ‘Arirang’ a four-star review when it landed last March. “In the days before #BTS made their historic live comeback in Seoul’s Gwanghwamun Square, a banner adorning a nearby building described the group as “Born in Korea. Play for the world.” It’s an apt characterisation of what they’ve always done – mixing the cultural heritage of their home country with global influence, an approach that lights up ‘Arirang’." #ArtHasNoAliens #GeographyIsNotAGenre #WeStandWithBTS nme.com/news/music/gra…

This Billboard article is worth a read :) billboard.com/music/awards/b…

@JDVance @POTUS @BillMelugin_ Are you really going to act as if this wasn't coordinated between Morocco, the United States and Israel? Are you really going to pretend that tens of thousands of Moroccans just coincidentally decided to cross the border into Spain? But let's see what yair has to say.

Add this. Another new one from her: "Not fans. Not streams. Not billboard charts." Just peers, who dictate other Asians how they should feel about racial segregation. "For artists that need more visibily - NOT decades deep pop superstars" after decades of being given nothing

En menos de una semana, dos hechos en mundos distintos enviaron el mismo mensaje: BTS rechazó participar en los Grammy y la UEFA rompió con la FIFA. Hay instituciones que olvidan una verdad fundamental: el prestigio no les pertenece; es un préstamo de quienes las hacen relevantes. Porque el poder no está en quien entrega el premio ni en quien organiza el torneo. Está en quienes deciden otorgarles legitimidad. Toda institución que olvida de dónde proviene su legitimidad no cae por falta de poder; cae por perder la confianza de quienes la sostienen.
