“I love what BTS did, this was the right decision. I often count the number of POC/Asian nominees in a book prize longlist, and when I see just one, I can tell immediately it was the token pick. … BTS was always being used to shore up viewer numbers for the Grammys. Now they’re telling the Grammys to fcuk [sic] off. Good for them. I hope the rest of Korea learns from this.”
