What I find fascinating is how intensely invested some BTS fans suddenly are in the Grammys while insisting the Grammys don’t matter. It’s been only a few days, and SB19 haven’t won anything, been nominated for anything, or even taken anything away from anyone. They simply submitted their own music for consideration, and somehow they’ve already been called sellouts, accused of enabling racism, and blamed for “dividing Asian music.” That’s an extraordinary amount of outrage over five Filipino artists simply choosing to walk through a door that is open to them. You’re free to believe the category is flawed. You’re free to boycott it. But other Asian artists are equally free to decide that visibility on a global platform could benefit their music, and the artists they support. Your principle becomes “entitlement” the moment you insist every Asian artist must sacrifice an opportunity because you decided what solidarity should look like for all of Asia. This comment sounds exactly the comment an entitled fan would make. And perhaps the better question is: if the Grammys are really this meaningless, why does SB19 submitting bother so many of you this much?
