Reposted by Areum Jeong 정아름Eunkyo Kang @ourcosmicepoch.bsky.social · 31/07/2026More broadly, I’m frustrated by how almost every discussion surrounding BTS is framed through an overwhelmingly American-centric lens. Ironically, even the discourse of decentering America remains profoundly American-centric. I don’t think that’s ultimately good for BTS, either. 111
Reposted by Areum Jeong 정아름Eunkyo Kang @ourcosmicepoch.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Which is why, contrary to what many people are suggesting, BTS’s Grammy boycott is nothing like Bong Joon-ho saying, “The Oscars are very local.” Bong relativized the Oscars. BTS spent years universalizing and absolutizing the Grammys—and, in many ways, they still do. 121
Reposted by Areum Jeong 정아름Eunkyo Kang @ourcosmicepoch.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Its alignment with American liberal multiculturalism emerged as a byproduct of climbing to the top of that competitive hierarchy, not as an ideological commitment. Whatever cultural impact this boycott may ultimately have, I think this one is, in essence, closer to sour grapes. 231
Reposted by Areum Jeong 정아름Eunkyo Kang @ourcosmicepoch.bsky.social · 31/07/2026In that sense, interpreting BTS/HYBE’s boycott through the same liberal cultural framework as other Grammy boycott cases is a mistake. K-pop has always operated according to the logic of neoliberal competition: winning is always the point. 151
Reposted by Areum Jeong 정아름Eunkyo Kang @ourcosmicepoch.bsky.social · 31/07/2026when you consider how desperately they’ve pursued the Grammys for years especially in their attempt to exempt the military services. They’ve been strategically emphasized or downplayed the “K” in K-pop whenever it suited the goal of becoming Grammy-worthy for all these years. 121
Reposted by Areum Jeong 정아름Eunkyo Kang @ourcosmicepoch.bsky.social · 31/07/2026BTS’s Grammy boycott is now being celebrated as a stand against the Grammys’ white-centric bias. And yes, creating an “Asian Pop” category is obviously a racializing move. But it’s difficult to read HYBE and BTS’s boycott simply as a decision made for the good of the industry or the scene 151
Areum Jeong 정아름 @areum.bsky.social · 30/07/2026I finally have a very, very rough draft (so lots more writing ahead) of Chapters 1-4 of my next book manuscript, but I will put it away for a week so, then return to it with fresh eyes.
