Grammy's Petty Frailty? The Controversy Over BTS Video Deletion

When BTS declared a boycott of submissions for the 2027 Grammys in protest of the creation of the new 'Asian Pop' category, performance videos of 'Dynamite' and 'Butter' disappeared from the official website. It leaves a bitter taste, as it feels like the Grammys took petty revenge behind the scenes while claiming to respect the artists' decision. It is a bitter scene that clearly reveals the limitations and lingering resentment of trying to confine K-pop within the 'Asian' framework, rather than acknowledging its global influence.
