Article: BTS does not win at the Grammys... "set the foundation for K-Pop to leap from"

1. [+206, -9] All of their numbers were higher than Lady Gaga... they suffered at the hands of racism. They topped the 'Hot 100' three times and are still on the charts while Lady Gaga only topped it once and is off the charts right now. Downloads, iTunes, YouTube... they are #1 in every category without a doubt. I feel like we were assaulted just for being Asian.

2. [+172, -15] Honestly, they did not win because they are Korean. Even the Americans admit that. It's unfortunate but even if the Grammys won't acknowledge them, BTS are still recognized by the rest of the world as the best.

3. [+173, -22] Seems like racist CEOs are still controlling the market~~

4. [+96, -2] It's unfortunate... but they're doing just fine the way they are!! I'll always support them.

5. [+60, -4] The Grammys have always loved Lady Gaga... but this is just going too far. They've been testing us for two years now. I really thought they'd win it this year.. ㅋㅋ

6. [+25, -0] It's amazing enough to have been nominated. I'm not an Army myself but I trust that there will come a day where the Grammys recognizes BTS for their worth.

7. [+16, -2] Ed Sheeran won a Grammy after four nominations. I'm trying to understand to the best of my ability... They better get a trophy ready next year. I will make sure that BTS becomes an even bigger artist, one that racism cannot even beat. They had 1.21 million viewers that dropped to 300,000 as soon as BTS got off air!!! It's pathetic that they're acting so tough when they're nothing without BTS' views.

8. [+13, -0] Amazing how BTS has ranked #1 for both physical and digital sales all over the world but were given not even one trophy ㅋㅋ how embarrassing for them. If they don't acknowledge the most loved group by fans, is there a point in such a ceremony? ㅜ They are erasing any reason for such a ceremony to exist.

9. [+12, -1] The Grammys have used BTS to promote their show in all different ways and still no trophy. They hyped up BTS' performance for days on end and most singers who perform are nearly guaranteed a trophy but BTS was used for promotional purposes and left out of the goods.

10. [+7, -0] Just get rid of the Grammys~ who do they think they are to be so superior to everyone else???
