BTS had lost to Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga in the best pop duo/group performance category at the Grammys. Now it will be interesting to see if they can bag this one. It is already a huge achievement to be nominated at the BRIT Awards 2021.
Their song Dynamite has remained on Billboard's Hot 100 for 31 weeks, equalling Psy's Gangnam Style record for an all-Korean act. Their most-watched music video is DNA with 1.1 billion views, followed by Boy With Luv (Feat. Halsey) and Fake Love.
The band issued a statement on Monday night strongly condemning the recent anti-Asian violence and hate in the U.S. Read the statement below:
We send our deepest condolences to those who have lost their loved ones. We feel grief and anger.
We recall moments when we faced discrimination as Asians. We have endured expletives without reason and were mocked for the way we look. We were even asked why Asians spoke in English.
We cannot put into words the pain of becoming the subject of hatred and violence for such a reason. Our own experiences are inconsequential compared to the events that have occurred over the past few weeks. But these experiences were enough to make us feel powerless and chip away our self-esteem.
What is happening right now cannot be dissociated from our identity as Asians. It required considerable time for us to discuss this carefully and we contemplated deeply on how we should voice our message.
But what our voice must convey is clear.
We stand against racial discrimination. We condemn violence. You, I and we all have the right to be respected. We will stand together.
