BTS explains to fans why they think they didn't win at the Grammys

[Jordan Miller]

BTS lost the Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance to Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande.

They're under the impression it's because they didn't appear in person at the show. It's worth pointing out neither did Gaga or Ari.

BTW, their fans went absolutely nuts at Gaga. It was uncalled for.

The band's lead member RM said this:

"The reason we weren't able to win is, I think many of you probably expect this, but we took it as them telling us to come and get the award in person," he said.

 "I saw a lot of articles saying we 'failed' to get the award, but I don't think it's a fail since we were able to perform for the first time as nominees. I don't think it's a failure but let's look at the positive side; we were nominated for the first time and did our first solo performance."

Thoughts, Exhale?

Good for 'em boys, but I think their fans should take a chill pill!

They didn’t win because Gaga/Ari were better.

[Stefani]

Their excuse for losing sounds like something that a stan would say.  What they said makes no sense though since neither Gaga or Ari were there in-person to accept the award either, and Gaga hasn't even mentioned her win on social media yet.

I think you spinned their words in a negative way. They simply meant they were not discouraged by the loss, and that there were still opportunities in the future. The Asian culture just isn't the same as the Western culture, where it's normal and acceptable to shade others.

I’m probably gonna be attacked, but let’s like think about BTS are they that talented? Lady Gaga writes and sings, LIVE 

[RadicalOptimism]

Give me the strength

I’m glad they are looking at the positive side, being grateful to be nominated and to perform. And their performance was amazing too!

Rain on Me could’ve been performed by my public enemy #1 Clowny Perry and I would still stan it over BTPayola

Are they really talking as if they SHOULD have won? To me, that doesn't sound like something BTS would say/do... They are very polite.

Gaga and Ariana's collaboration was a cultural reset. Period. So of course they won.

Asian culture is SUPER competitive, though. They do NOT take fails lightly.

I don’t think showing up equals an automatic win...ask Doja.

But even Gaga and Grande weren't there to take the award

And Kanye West got a grammy even though he LITERALLY pissed on a Grammy

Except that they are talented. They can sing, they can actually dance, they write their own music, and they serve visuals.

Awww 

[Calpky]

I don't know who all needs to hear this, but kpop will NEVER be adopted into the homes or culture of the everyday American. Respect the hustle, but...

[Alexanda]

At least not the racist-card, thank you! 

[FemmeFataleBrit]

They (and all other K-Pop acts) are very humble and polite. Unfortunately, their fan base is ****** up. 
 

Also the song is terribly average, I’m surprised they were even nominated in the first place.

[mythology]

They lost?  LMFAO, their stans must be pressed AF and Im here for it

[emailmyheart1999]

I literally don't think them winning was a big deal. The song is good but it's just a pop song, why are people trying to twist it into something it's not? They were nominated for one category and lost. Susan Lucci, anyone? For a generation of artists who say awards don't matter people really place a lot of emotion onto losing one award. I mean, BTS themselves are so humble and seem kind, but the media and fandoms are going bezerk.

Still doesn't justify their fandom's behavior for me but at least they see it positively and that's good to know I guess
