they called their parents and everything😭😭I'm so sad man my tannies dont deserve this

Jk, but seriously this is huge. I'm so proud of them for saying no and taking a step back. I hope the grammys tank after this 🫶 and if the industry had a spine, other artists would follow.. But they (kpop companies and idols) are probably just even happier to get more chance at winning

I think the artists who choose to take advantage of this have the right to do so but it’ll look kind of pathetic to me, ngl. 😭 Like, everyone except for their fans are obviously going to know that the only reason they got it is because BTS refused to participate. But a lot of people will pick commercial success, no matter how gilded, over their pride, so.

Curious if this is going to be their move as solo artists though. The spirit of the statement would definitely be undermined if they backtrack for the solo work so I assume the Grammy's are just permanently off the table now for all the members

It’s not really about whether or not Arirang deserves a main category. It’s about the fact that a category design specifically for them (Kpop), which effectively keeps them OUT of the main categories. They’re giving K-pop artists like BTS their consolation prizes so that they will have a Grammy while also not taking it away from their artists.

Grammy is trash . No doubt. But at the end of the day, they wanted and still want it . And the company does too , will ensure the company some other group gets it at least. As we all know, company is doing bare minimum to get maximum profits from this group and has plans to replace them in the future or transfer the fandom to some other group. Didn't work doesn't mean it is discarded.

Also I'm sorry the submitted songs are not my taste for Grammy. Now especially swim is nothing worth it .

Please note I'm not talking about other kpop groups (not worth it) , western artists (too long thesis ) , other non - western artists ( some other day ) .

Eh. Of course they wanted a Grammy, and I don’t think they’d reject it if they were given a main category award, either (not the stupid Kpop categories they’ve got now).

I am however already annoyed by the fuckass discourse kpop fans will start because now there is even a bigger possibility of some rando winning a grammy before them

My GOATS.

They had an easy shot at getting a Grammy now that they’ve divided the categories like that but of course, they didn’t take the bait. I’m actually a bit surprised even though I shouldn’t be, I sort of expected that the company would still submit songs but the members wouldn’t acknowledge a win really.

I wish that others would also grow a spine and recognize what a slap in the face the new categories are, but most of them who would’ve never had a shot at this award in a million years are probably just happy that they can get one under their name. Even if it means basically nothing anymore.
