"The thing is that BTS is not merely one of the biggest K-pop groups. It has become one of the defining musical acts of the 21st century, achieving a level of global influence comparable to the biggest international artists of any era."

Don't know who needs to hear this, but Foxborough tix on StubHub are dirt cheap. If there were ever a crystal clear example of the law of supply and demand, this is it. D1 Foxborough vs D2 Chicago. Insane.
MAMA AWARDS From user @Kate87ven on twt "The 2026 MAMA Awards and the Daesang are approaching, and we need all hands on deck! 🏆 I’ve researched and put together these guides with key info based on past voting experiences" Please share this
i’m just gonna wrap up my thoughts of the shows in this little thread of things i loved, things i noticed and realized about the members, and etc. 😌
The #RecordingAcademy was created in 1957 by a small circle of YT men, who were Los Angeles-based record executives from Columbia (Paul Weston, Axel Stordahl), Capitol (Lloyd Dunn, Richard Jones), Decca (Sonny Burke), MGM (Jesse Kaye), and RCA Victor (Dennis Farnon).
Sometimes I try to imagine how a non-ARMY experiencing a BTS concert for the first time would feel like. Such as Nas or Jon Batiste. What went through their minds when they were at Metlife a couple of days ago?
A great summary of artists who have challenged and are challenging the Grammys. "BTS's decision adds a new chapter to that ongoing conversation, joining a Grammy history shaped by artists who questioned the institution, challenged its boundaries, and pushed the music industry to evolve."

From a Nigerian media: "Their decision to boycott the awards ... opens up a broader conversation about the need for solidarity between artists affected by this to ensure music is recognised and awarded for its impact and its artistic expression, not the artist's race, nationality or ethnicity."

🇬🇧 Aliens debuts at #4 on the Big Top 40. Excellent work ukmy! Thank you to everyone who bought Aliens on iTunes and listened on Apple Music 😁 Teamwork makes the dream work 💜 #BTS Video credit: vm.tiktok.com/ZN8dRcvmc/
"By focusing strictly on pop, the Academy risks overlooking the extraordinary traditional, classical, and non-pop genres that represent the height of musical achievement. Across [Asia], there are masters whose innovation and artistry are unmatched globally, yet they remain largely invisible."
Ricky Kej on Why the Grammys Asian Pop Category Fails Asian Artists Like BTS
Grammy winner Ricky Kej says geographically bounded categories like Best Asian Pop or Best African Music Performance, fail to fully integrate world music into the main stage

"BTS doesn’t need a #Grammy — they already have the world. When #BTS returned to MetLife Stadium on Saturday, it was crystal clear that for the ecstatic tens of thousands of revelers in attendance, black-tie industry recognition is but an afterthought." www.nj.com/entertainmen...

“Music should be competing based on artistic excellence, not separated by geography or ethnicity. The long-term goal should be for artists from Korea, Japan, the Philippines, India, or anywhere else to compete naturally in the same categories as everyone else.” - SleepDeez ❗️📰 No paywall.

When your hero tells you you were amazing. Nas reshared Joon's story and added his own caption.
"BTS didn’t just skip an awards show, they named the actual question the Grammys have been dodging for over a decade: does this institution want to sort music by identity, or does it want to trust identity not to determine the outcome in the categories that matter most?"
BTS Just Shined A Light On The Grammys’ Diversity Problem
BTS proves a category built as a compliment can still function as a fence.

It was a house full of ARMY very proud of their guys. You could feel it. And it seemed they could, too. Jimin is my bias but RM was my concert bias tonight. He was just radiating something incredible.
I will admit I saved waaaaaay too many angles of the tag team water duo feat the usual and ruthless menace of them all Kim Taehyung Like look at this menace... Yes you see him running from a whole different part of the stage to ADD himself into the mix
the video version is so much worse bc they actually stood there pressed against each other for SEVERAL SECONDS IN THE DARK, I CAN'T DO THIS
i didn’t take a ton of photos or videos but i did get jungkook and jin stalking namjoon with water bottles!!
"whatever's next, I wanna stay positive. I will never take this love for granted." Oh Joon. Amongst all the monumental movement you keep triggering in the music industry, I rarely stop to realize how terrifying it must be to be a trailblazer. We always stand right behind you, you know it.
