I'm trying to understand why it would ever be our concern of whether or not employees have left or moved on from BH

i don't think that's the implication. twitter level of interpretation

Idk about u all, but I see this as a positive sign, coz atleast we know, ARIRANG is on their radar.

So many of you are going to feel so insanely silly when BTS gets those nominations

I know some are hesitant to believe that audience make a difference but if Bad bunnys album wasn't well received and got the numbers it got, I don't think he would have been nominated and won Aoty, this is why we should dominate every aoty convo with arirang.

I have seen this discussions on my tl and here is my take in it although no one asked 🧍‍♀️ I've seen a lot of people say, "Fans don't vote, so fan support doesn't matter." And I think that completely misunderstands how cultural recognition works. No, fans don't sit on Academy committees. No, fans don't cast the final ballots. But reducing an artist's success to the moment a vote is cast ignores everything that happens before that. Awards don't exist in a vacuum. Neither do institutions. Artists don't wake up one morning and suddenly become worthy of recognition. They become worthy of recognition because their work resonates with people. Because audiences connect with it. Because fans turn music into something bigger than a song on a playlist. Take BTS. For years, people tried to dismiss their success as "just a fandom." As if selling out stadiums across the world, breaking records, moving millions of albums, and creating one of the largest global music communities in history somehow happened independently of their artistic impact. But here's the thing: fandom isn't separate from impact. Fandom IS impact. ARMY didn't just support BTS. ARMY helped make BTS a global cultural force. Through streaming, buying, translating, promoting, organizing, and introducing their music to new audiences, fans played a role in creating the visibility that the industry could no longer ignore. And this isn't unique to BTS. Look at Starboy by The Weekend. The album won a Grammy, but it didn't become Grammy-winning material in a vacuum. Millions of listeners streamed it, bought it, talked about it, and made it one of the defining albums of its era. The recognition came later. The audience came first. That's what people miss. Fans don't control the outcome. Fans shape the culture. And culture is what creates the environment where recognition becomes possible in the first place. So when people say "fans don't matter because they don't vote," I can't agree. The vote may be cast by a few hundred or a few thousand people. But the impact that puts an artist in that conversation is created by millions.

Recording Academy member Adam Merter Birson says: “BTS ARMY should push for them to win Album of the Year, not be marginalized in a Best Asian Pop category. It’s great for smaller artists to get recognized, but BTS is way too big and important to fall into this trap.” 🗣️ 🔗 instagram.com/professor_birs…

And how do you know they don’t have dedicated teams already? Hybe is one of the top 4 labels in the world bts their biggest artists who are capable of getting a Grammy you think they wouldn’t put the best resources on this :)

RM's "Indigo" and "Right Place, Wrong Person" rank among the highest rated albums of all time, with both being included in several year-end lists.
