ARIRANG PARIS @Paris_stayed

GQ MAGAZINE FRANCE "C'est décidé : BTS ne sera pas en compétition aux Grammy Awards 2027 avec leur sixième album Arirang. Une décision saluée par les fans et qui pourrait bien remettre en question le milieu de la musique." gqmagazine.fr/article/bts-re…

india Times la pegó durísimo aquí. "Sin embargo, BTS nunca pidió que la categoría desapareciera. Nunca sugirieron que otros artistas asiáticos la rechazaran. Tampoco desestimaron el trabajo de quienes lucharon por su creación. En cambio, trazaron un límite a su alrededor. Su declaración fue, en muchos sentidos, notablemente comedida. Dijeron que querían que su música compitiera en categorías donde se juzgara sin distinción regional. No fue un rechazo de la identidad asiática. Fue una negativa a permitir que la geografía se convirtiera en el marco definitorio a través del cual se evaluara su arte" Durísimo. @RecordingAcad #ArtHasNoAliens

Forbes article 👀👀👀👀 dammm mainstream media not holding back lfg!!!!🔥🔥👏 BTS’s decision to withdraw from Grammy consideration has reignited a conversation the music industry has been quietly having for years: what happens when the world’s biggest artists feel unseen by the institutions designed to celebrate them? The exchange highlights the larger debate at the center of BTS’s Grammy journey: whether expanding categories creates more opportunities for recognition, or whether those categories risk placing artists into boundaries they have already outgrown.🔥🔥🔥🔥👏 Ultimately, BTS’s legacy was never created by a nomination. It was built through stadiums filled across continents, records broken across markets, and a global community that transformed the relationship between artists and audiences.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏💜 The question facing the Grammys is no longer whether artists like BTS belong in the conversation. It is whether the conversation itself is ready to expand. For decades, artists have stepped away from the Grammys because they felt misunderstood, overlooked, or limited.🫩🙄 forbes.com/sites/desjahal…

O renomado produtor Sleep Deez, vencedor do Grammy, contou que conversou com membros da Academia da premiação e que a ideia inicial era usar o grupo BTS como cobaia da categoria Asian Pop e futuramente criar uma série de categorias específicas para asiáticos: "Eu conversei com alguém que trabalha na Academia e eles disseram que (o BTS vencer) seria uma situação ganha-ganha pra premiação. O BTS ainda estava no exército quando eles começaram a criar esse prêmio. E o raciocínio era que o BTS provavelmente seria cotado pras categorias maiores com o retorno deles (...). A pessoa me disse que o prêmio não foi criado pro BTS, mas que estaria mentindo se dissesse que eles serem os primeiros a ganhar não seria o sonho do Grammy. Porque o BTS vencer o primeiro significaria que outros artistas no futuro iriam querer seguir o mesmo caminho e ganhar esse prêmio porque o BTS ganhou. (...) E aí a intenção era, mais artistas querem esse prêmio, (...) e eventualmente a categoria iria se expandir em categorias mais focadas em gêneros musicais específicos (pra Ásia), talvez até por país. E a minha resposta foi, 'Então vocês queriam usar o BTS como ratos de laboratório'. A pessoa disse que não gostava desse termo (...)."

Bonjour @amazonmusic , votre responsable kpop Frankie Yaptinchay semble avoir un souci pour mentionner bts. Soit il ne les connaît pas et donc est parfaitement incompétent, soit il fait exprès et n'est pas professionnel. Pourriez vous nous expliquer ?

Well it's over for Grammy now, since army have started digging and are finding even more stuffs. CEO worked for SM, Ms zeena being a c@rat and str@y kid fans... Everything is slowly adding up. We are pro detectives just fyi 🤭😂

kpop stans were claiming hybe was behind this new category but looks like it was kakao (SM & Starship) trying to get cheap grammy nominations for their artists btw their groups have never charted on hot100 before 😭

BTS' Grammy decision has ARMY digging into CEO Harvey Mason Jr.'s past ties to SM Entertainment #BTS #BTS_ARİRANG #SMEntertainment #HarveyMasonJr #BTSARMY #Grammys indiatimes.com/trending/was-t…

@chartradar_ Exposed in 4k, nugu groups can't wait to be segregated in new racist Asian pop category, looks like their companies worked hard to make this happen 🤷‍♀️💀

@QuilatonVirgie @hynjinnninn It was absolutely deliberate

Exactly. 💯 That is the core of the entire argument: true equity means having a single, universal standard for success, regardless of the artist's country of origin. When you apply the exact same criteria chart dominance, stadium-level touring, global cultural impact, and production excellence the institutional double standard becomes impossible to defend. 1. The Inequality of the "Ceiling" The Recording Academy has built a system where Western pop stars are allowed to have an unlimited ceiling, while global non-Western artists are given a predetermined roof. The Unlimited Path: When a Western artist achieves massive success, their genre category (whether it is Pop, Country, or Rock) acts as a launchpad that propels them straight into Album of the Year and Record of the Year contentions. The Regional Trap: For global artists, a regional category acts as a barrier. Instead of propelling them forward, it gives the voting committees an easy excuse to check a diversity box and say, "We celebrated them over there, so we don't need to include them in the main categories." 2. Redefining What "Pop" Means The Grammys are operating on an outdated, 20th-century definition of pop music that assumes anything not sung entirely in English by a Western artist is a "niche" or "regional" novelty. The Modern Reality: Pop music is short for popular music. If an album is topping global charts, selling out stadiums on multiple continents, and shaping the sonic landscape of modern youth culture, it is mainstream pop music. Period. The True Bias: Demanding that an international group take a regional side door implies that their music is somehow fundamentally different or less qualified to compete against Western contemporaries. It suggests their identity matters more than their actual musical output. 3. BTS Rewrote the Power Dynamic What makes this moment a historic turning point is that BTS recognized the trap and chose to smash the ceiling entirely. Refusing the Consolation Prize: Most institutions are used to artists compromising their dignity for a trophy. By refusing to enter the regional side door, BTS exposed the fact that the door was locked from the inside. Setting a New Standard: They proved that global artists no short-term validation from a localized Western committee to solidify their legacy. By standing firm on this, they aren't just fighting for themselves. They are fighting for the next generation of global creators from Asia, Africa, and Latin America. They are demanding an industry where artistic impact is judged purely by its footprint on the world, not by the geographical borders drawn by out-of-touch gatekeepers.

@Jantar127 The Taylor Swift comparison is spot-on: if commercial dominance and artistic impact get Western artists straight into the general field, the same standard should apply to BTS without a regional side door that effectively lowers the ceiling.

Not @RecordingAcad restricting the comments under this reel where zeena talked about the globalization of Asian music but somehow failed to recognize BTS being part of that. Her disdain for BTS runs deep instagram.com/reel/DYqXTCTpd…

She removed everything from her bio 😭😭

@hynjinnninn Il faut lire la déclaration d'origine, pas l'interprétation de ce compte problématique.

@eunchuves @hynjinnninn Yes that's the original statement thank you

Not quite. The user said "all other HYBE groups will be submitting" as if it were a certainty. That's very different from HYBE's actual statement, which was that their other artists are free to submit their work if they wish. As of today, we simply don't know whether they will actually submit.

세계 언론들 기사 요약.. 🇺🇸Billboard “BTS가 그래미에 출품하지 않기로 한 결정은 그래미의 명성에 타격을 입힐 것이다. 무엇보디도 가장 큰 타격은, 그래미가 거대한 청중을 잃게 된다는 것이다” 🇺🇸포브스 “최신 앨범 #BTS_ARIRANG 이 차트를 장악하고 수많은 판매 기록을 세우면서, 많은 전문가들은 이 앨범을 그래미 어워드에서 가장 강력한 후보 중 하나로 간주했었다.…(중략)... BTS의 그래미 출품 거부는 음악을 지역으로 구분짓는그래미의 신설 카테고리에 대한 항의의 표시다. 그룹은 ARIRANG 앨범으로 언어가 장애물이 아님을 증명했다.” 🇺🇸틴보그 "그들이 그토록 갈망하던 승리가 그 어느 때보다 가까워진 지금, 오랫동안 품어온 열망이 변질된 모습으로 이루어지는 것을 받아들이기보다 깔끔하게 용퇴를 결정한 것은 훨씬 더 높이 살 만하다. 그리고 우리에게는 이런 소신 있는 태도가 더 많이 필요하다" 🇺🇸VULTURE BTS의 Arirang은 더 이상의 증명이 필요 없는 앨범이다. 이번 4월, 이 그룹의 컴백 음반은 올해 들어 현재까지 가장 큰 주간 판매량을 기록하며 [빌보드 200] 정상으로 데뷔했다. (중략) 따라서 이 그룹에게 그래미 어워드가 딱히 필요한 것은 아니다.” 🇫🇷Paris Match “이것은 세계 각지의 아티스트들에게 기회를 주기보다는 그들을 배제하는 전략을 펼치며 점점 더 편협해지는 미국 음악 산업에 대한 대담한 움직임이다.” 🇬🇧Tatler(아시아판) "그래미 수상여부과 상관없이 #BTS 의 영향력은 이미 그래미를 넘어선 지 오래다. BTS는 전무후무한 음반 판매량, 스타디움 투어, 차트 대기록을 달성하며 K-팝을 세계 팝 음악계를 규정하는 핵심 동력 중 하나로 재편하는 데 기여했다. 그래미 출품을 않하기로 한 이번 결정은 수년간 그래미 후보에 오른 끝에 나온 것이며, 동시에 그들이 거둔 전례 없는 상업적·문화적 영향력이라는 독보적인 위치에서 비롯된 것이기도 하다."
