1. [+795, -66] I think even being mentioned by them was amazing already, I support you!!!!
2. [+742, -82] At the end of the article, it mentions that the Grammy judges more on artistic ability and musicality rather than popularity. You have to admit that their standards are different from Korean award ceremonies.
3. [+583, -67] There's always next year~ I think it's amazing already that they're being mentioned~
4. [+52, -17] The fact that BTS is still in the news for not being nominated for a Grammy proves that they're amazing already. It's surprising that we've reached a point where dreaming about something like this is attainable.
5. [+51, -9] Reminds me of a Bong Joon Ho interview. When a reporter asked him why Korean movies haven't been nominated for the Oscars despite great influence in the past 20 years, he said, "It's weird but not a big deal. The Oscars is not an international film festival, right? It's a local festival."
6. [+47, -11] Quite Grammy-like of them considering this is the same ceremony that ignored Beyonce during the peak years of her career
7. [+37, -25] Probably because the Grammy isn't a place you can win a trophy just off of fan labor
8. [+31, -16] Not a big deal, it's amazing enough to be mentioned anyway
9. [+24, -9] But BTS had the #1 album sales in the world and everyone in #2, #3, and #4 below them made it in the nominations except for BTS;
- It's not only about album sales. This is the same ceremony that shafted Bieber on the rookie award for some nugu.
10. [+22, -1] I don't think the best replies know what they're talking about. Go look up why so many famous black artists are boycotting the Grammy. Even Western media journalists are saying that BTS not being nominated is the same type of discrimination faced by other POCs and criticizing the Grammy for their white-centric, English-only album nominations.
