Infantino controversy latest: FIFA president apologises for 'mistakes' in plan to sell World Cup

The under-pressure president of FIFA has apologised for "mistakes" around his plan to sell part of the World Cup. In a letter released by the governing body, key figures also expressed their support f...

📊 Media claims #BTS stands alone, confusing private choice with a boycott. Other icons boycotted and asked stars to join. BTS made a personal choice, asked nothing. Still, cultural icons and global communities back their stand against an old system. #DS_BTS #GRAMMYs #방탄소년단 #musicsky

U.S. 2026 World Cup host cities are chasing #FIFA for unpaid $1M legacy grants promised by management. While FIFA charts $15B+ in revenue, local taxpayers footed billions for security & transport, leaving cities to hunt for promised funds. More: nyti.ms/4gb8TE9

⚽️ #FIFA expects a record $13 billion from the 2026 World Cup, but pays almost zero corporate tax on billions made from TV rights and tickets. While top executives get tax-free perks, local taxpayers must fund the stadiums. Swipe through to see how the system works. #FWC26 #football

It was not the original Rolling Stone article author Kim Jae-ha who wrote ‘nobody’. It was the German department. Let’s be clear on that. #BTS

As the industry's long-standing top act, #BTS daily bears the brunt of a broken South Korean entertainment ecosystem, where aggressive, sensationalised, and hostile media coverage is systematically weaponised against successful artists. Now the sudden and temporary pause. #방탄소년단

When SUGA said "off-season" (오프기), he meant a temporary rest. The West twisted it into "hiatus", implying a permanent break. Now, choosing not to submit to the Grammys is branded a "boycott." They spin calm autonomy into Western drama. Learn Korean. #BTS

My expectation. I expect K-media to return to a highly critical 'what have you done for us lately' baseline once #BTS’ massive world tour ends and the economic buzz cools. This glowing coverage isn’t a permanent truce; the media’s natural, hyper-critical state will re-emerge.

The #Grammys look pure on paper but the 1958 reality was a cultural war. Founded to honour excellence as Ricky Kej says they actually launched to fight the rise of rock and roll. It was an elite defence mechanism packaged as a high minded award. #BTS #방탄소년단 #musicsky

Three-time Grammy winner & multi-nominee Ricky Kej reflects on the #Grammys’ new Asian Pop category, warning it risks structurally segregating international talent rather than offering genuine global inclusion. Structural silos must change to truly honour global music. #DS_BTS #BTS #방탄소년단 #musicsky

The article titled "BTS is Skipping the #GRAMMYs, But What Are We Doing?" published by Nigerian media outlet YNaija serves as a powerful call to action, urging international artists of color to build global solidarity against systemic industry categorisation. #DS_BTS #방탄소년단 #musicsky #BTS

NJ: “Who needs Grammys when you rule the world?” Enthusiastic, highly positive Metlife concert review that challenges Grammy authority over #BTS’ decision to boycott the "Best Asian Pop Music Performance" category, rejecting regional categorisation. #DS_BTS #GRAMMYs #방탄소년단 #musicsky

Should the street outside #HYBE headquarters in Seoul be permanently renamed #BTS Boulevard? Given how much the group boosts South Korea’s economy and global tourism, a lasting tribute feels highly appropriate, much like the existing K-Star Road in Gangnam. What do you think? #DS_BTS #방탄소년단

Ahead of #BTS’ concert in #Canada, #Toronto City Council has approved a motion to temporarily rename a major road ‘BTS Boulevard’ from around 21 August until 23 September & has requested that the mayor officially declare the period of the concert ‘BTS Weekend’. + #DS_BTS #방탄소년단

Seeing the normally negative Korean press drop their knives to defend BTS’s dignity is a powerful reminder of what they mean to their home country. They walked away from Western validation, and a divided media finally saw them as the national heroes they are. #방탄소년단 #BTS

FORBES: When an institution doesn’t fully understand the art, does the artist still need the institution? #BTS choosing to bypass the Grammys highlights a growing rift. Global impact no longer relies on traditional gatekeepers who fail to recognise true cultural shifts. #DS_BTS #방탄소년단 #musicsky

India Today: #BTS has moved beyond the #GRAMMYs. Their refusal to let geography define their artistry reflects a shift from regional distinction to universal recognition. They didn't tear down advocacy; they proved global music no longer needs borders. + #DS_BTS #방탄소년단

BTS ARMY discovered that, in May 2026, the GRAMMYs quietly updated BTS's official biography to add the description "Asian pop artist". One month later, on June 16, they announced the new Asian Pop categories. #ArtHasNoAliens #BTS #DS_BTS #Musicsky S: BTSDailyChile 🐦
