you can try to stop it but it keeps on coming

As prev mentioned, Rosé was nominated for three Grammys last year during the 68th Grammys, but this has been going on for a little longer than that.

BTS has been nominated five times over the years, with the first time being the 63rd Grammys in 2021. every time they've been nominated, the Grammys have invited them to perform during the ceremony. BTS has been vocal about their dream of winning a Grammy for years, and they've performed every time. The Grammys have made a huge profit from increased viewership every time BTS performs for them. Yet, the Grammy has never gone to BTS, even when the numbers are clearly in their favor.

This year, after the Grammys announced the new categories, including Asian pop, BTS announced that they would not be entering the Grammys this year. In a wildly petty move, the Grammys responded by deleting all of the videos of BTS' Grammy performances over the years from their website.

All of this to say, the Grammys have been pulling this shit for a long time, but with the creation of these new categories, it's so much harder to deny the overt racism that the western industry is saturated in.

The chorus goes:

From the 가나 to the 하, 우리 보고 배워놔 Yeah, we aliens If you wanna hit my house, 신발은 벗어놔 Yeah, we aliens 어쩜 그래 shameless 예의를 차려 we aliens 해는 동쪽에서 risin' Aliens, aliens

Translated into English:

From the Ga-Na to the Ha, watch and learn from us Yeah, we aliens If you wanna hit my house, shoes off at the door Yeah, we aliens The nerve on you, shameless Show some respect, we aliens Out of the East, the sun's risin' Aliens, aliens

For context, "From the Ga-Na to the Ha" refers to the first and last letters of the Korean alphabet, hangul. It's similar to saying 'From A to Z' in English.

The line "If you wanna hit my house, shoes off at the door" refers to how in Korean culture (and many other Asian cultures as well), you're not supposed to wear your shoes indoors. They're essentially saying, 'you can criticize me, but don't disrespect my culture while you're doing it.'

I particularly love how they straight up call the western industry + their haters shameless.

Happy new year! Here's the end of the 1953 EC Comics adaptation of Ray Bradbury's "There Will Come Soft Rains," first published in Weird Fantasy #17.

Still needs fine-tuning, but I couldn’t resist pulling a print of this design tonight!
