BTS having having a stadium tour was KPOP now also starting to have stadium tours. BTS attracting Army to Award shows was Kpop attracting kpop stans to award shows. So they treated BTS' Grammy noms in the same light. You can see it in how they reported on them (if they even did)

And that has always been the problem. These instructions and especially the media couldn't even have the decency to give BTS their hard earned flowers because 1) they felt it would be unfair to the rest of the "team" and 2) thought someone else could do it too+

So now they have egg in their face looking around like how did this happen? Why is no other "team member" being given the time of day. And it's all because they ignored the reality that it was always about ONE group and it's members. It was always about BTS.

The West opened up, however marginally, to kpop because of BTS . All these kpop categories are because of BTS and because of kpop. The award show performances, the late night appearances, etc are because of BTS. And even if we are to talk about the Grammys there are no "kpop"

Categories, so why would they need to include ANYONE from kpop. Y'all thought these 7364846 versions meant something to these old white racist men?? They mean absolutely nothing. Because the truth is, without BTS, kpop doesn't mean much to them either. +

And so now the institutions, experts and media and all confused and bewildered because they didn't see this coming. And they should have. Because the "kpop crisis" has a start date. June 14th 2022. Their panic should have started on that very day.

BTS announcing their hiatus was the beginning of the end. And army said it. But we were ignored. We were mocked even. But like always we were right. Because now that BTS are temporarily out of the picture, the West for the most part doesn't have to pretend to care about kpop

They can go back to ignoring them just like they had before. They will leave those kpop categories in the other award shows because BTS will eventually be back and they will need to other them there. If it wasn't for them, they would have removed those categories too+

K-Award shows aren't selling out or making noise. Concerts aren't selling out, TV show appearances are reducing, the "next BTS" are not BTSing as expected. All they have now are photocards and audacity. Things are looking bleak.

This was a self inflicted wound from the start. Everyone one involved needed to lower expectations, and actually take stock of what was happening. The member solos gave them an extension. But for now those are gone too. So all we can say is good luck and we told you so.
