@readonlyshan Considering this woman is also VP of Marketing for Universal Music (distributor label of BTS), I find this disturbing that Universal would allow an employee to publicly denounce one of their artists like this. I feel this is a major HR breach. @UMG

Interesting logic from Grammy CEO Harvey Mason Jr.: British artists are simply pop artists, while Asian, African, and Latino artists are categorized by their continent.

The behavior is this person clearly demonstrates why she should not have been a part of the decision making body that created the Asian category. Zeena Koda, #bts did not tear #grammy down. You were already broken in the first place. BTS didn’t ask anyone to change anything. They just informed ARMYs they won’t participate in your show. Yes, it’s easy to tell people what to change on the internet but that’s why supposed intelligent professionals are supposed to do the hard part which puzzles me why you are there to begin with because you are clearly not one. You also need some hardcore PR training or maybe some character training. Scratch that, You need some character training. /F

ART HAS NO ALIENS @RecordingAcad #ArtHasNoAliens

BTSは韓国人としてではなくアジア人としてプライド持ってボイコットしたんだろうよ。BTSですらアジア枠に押し込められるという事は、他のアジア人はそれよりいい賞がもらえん事がほぼ確だからな。もちろん本人達の意思だけど、全てのアジア人の為の行動であると感じるよ。かっけー。

BTS were nothing but respectful in their statements, they made NO DEMANDS, cussed no one out, nothing, just stated what they felt and moved on. This woman feeling torn down by that simple statement need to take a hard look at what they are doing via this category but instead she chose to publicly attack the biggest asian artist for not playing their games. This just proves the point that the category was made for them, atleast the inaugural one and the boys just bamboozeled them. I know it’s wishful thinking but i genuinely hope that this award show loses all its relevance

내 아티스트가 언제까지 후배님들 앞길 닦아드리고 뒷바라지 해줘야함? 이만큼이나 아티스트나 팬덤이 문 열어줬음 우리들한테도 뭘 좀 주면 안됨? 등골이나 빼먹고 양심이 뒈지셨나봐요.

Inclusion & empowerment become exclusion & disempowerment when they speak over the very people they claim to uplift. If POC artists reject the framework meant for them, that rejection is not a failure to understand. POC artist are not designed to accept crumbs

Excellent clip from CBS News about BTS declining to submit their work to the Grammys. “BTS talks, people listen.” The AP reporter did an excellent job. youtu.be/oEJmwbhaq8s?is…

This man has fought off monks, a vindictive shaman, and now the Recording Academy. That’s our leader, man.

Oh... BTS dodged a bullet here. This committee member confessing in 4k that she intended it to use BTS for opportunity but not recognize them because apparently they don't deserve recognition as older artists after years of never getting anything

"Instead, we've been torn down by one of the biggest Asian artists, and it makes me really sad that there could have been a more meaningful conversation on the backend to understand what the actual aim of this was and have a dialogue vs taking a bold move like this to get more press." watch your words lady watch your words.

BTS is currently the biggest artist on worldwide iTunes and Deezer.

Hilo | Zeena Koda, una de las impulsoras de la creación de la categoría Best Asian Pop, compartió una serie de historias en Instagram tras la decisión de BTS de no presentar sus trabajos a los Grammy. [📸] La gente no entiende lo complejo que es cambiar y desarrollar las categorías de los Grammy, ni cuál era el objetivo general de introducir a los artistas asiáticos como una fuerza relevante dentro de los Grammy. Es realmente triste y desalentador ver cómo se ha tratado todo este tema, cuando tantas personas, detrás de escena, han trabajado para dar visibilidad a los artistas asiáticos dentro de los Grammy —algo que antes no existía—. Conseguir algún nivel de representación era una misión real para muchos de nosotros. Esta es una categoría nueva y nada es perfecto en su primera versión. En muchos sentidos, esta ni siquiera era una categoría pensada para BTS. Estaba destinada a artistas que necesitan mayor visibilidad y oportunidades para destacar, no a superestrellas del pop con décadas de trayectoria.

우리는 인종차별에 반대합니다. 우리는 폭력에 반대합니다. 나, 당신, 우리 모두는 존중받을 권리가 있습니다. 함께 하겠습니다. We stand against racial discrimination. We condemn violence. You, I and we all have the right to be respected. We will stand together. #BlackLivesMatter

"This is a really interesting take about the Asian countries having English as a native language. This is a really good point" WDYM THEY NEVER EVEN THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE?!?!?

음악은 그냥 그 자체로 하나의 언어라고 생각한다.!

At COKODIVE, we’ve had the privilege of watching BTS grow for years. We’ve seen them rise from a promising group to global icons who reshaped what was thought possible for Korean artists. Their decision not to submit music for GRAMMY consideration this year feels bigger than an awards season. Sometimes, choosing not to participate says more than any speech ever could. Legacy is defined by the barriers you break, the doors you open, and the millions of people you inspire. BTS have already done all of that, and history will remember it all 💜
