winning and losing is a part of life but accepting it with grace is an art of life.

BTS from Seoul

BTS’s first-ever Grammy nomination couldn’t bring the Grammy home, which was in the category of ‘Best Pop Duo/Group Performance’ for their billboard hit song “Dynamite”. Despite that once again, they won millions of hearts with their live performance from the rooftop of a building in Yeouido, Seoul.

BTS is beloved across the world for being seven ordinary boys from South Korea and not pretending to be a celebrity. BTS members -RM, Jin, Suga, J-hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook expressed their love, admiration, and support for the army. They knew that the entire army would be watching the award for them, keeping all night awake.

For this reason, they hosted a Vlive chat that ran for 20 minutes just after the show ended. It was a heartwarming gesture of BTS toward the army as million of hearts were worried for their loving member.

When the members took care of their fandom, the fandom did not lose a second to shower love and support making way through hashtags.

The two hashtags #LightItUpBTS and #BTSOurGreatestPrize hold attention in support of BTS went viral in few seconds.

Whereas a trend in criticism of the Grammy #Scammys went viral after the result of grammy for duo/group performance announced, snubbing the Recording Academy.

Another trend that went viral was #RacismisnotComedybts pointing to the Topps’s disrespectful caricature ‘Garbage Pail Kids' portraying the BTS.

Coming to the point how Grammy played an unfair game can be seen and understood from this picture. It clearly shows why BTS deserved the Grammy.

Apart from the Vlive chat BTS cheered their army by posting pictures on WeVerse and quoting words in appreciation for them.

Army is the best !!!! — said BTS leader RM.

Let’s run/work even harder this year! — said Suga.

Thank you so much for being with us for every moment. We will make sure to return the love and support. — Jungkook

We started from nothing, we can make it again with you guys. We should keep knocking on the door. — Jimin

Thank you for watching in a late hour, oh my dark circles, it’s an honour to perform on this award, we will keep working hard to show great stages! Love you .— J-Hope

I’m happy whenever we do award shows because it also shows ARMYs that we are making something together. Member said this stage will stay forever.— Jin

We will work hard so that we can come back to Grammys next year. So ARMYs, please help us one more time! — V

It is not the first time that Grammy took the western side though it came a long way yet it has a long way to go.

Hopefully, next time, Grammy acknowledge talent across the world and not just from the west side of it.
