Many BTS fans took issue with this result, complaining about the Grammys’ decision to have the group perform at the end of the show without giving them an award.
Fans claimed that the Grammys used BTS to get viewers, even mocking up a fake tweet from the Recording Academy saying just that. Some even accused the Grammys of xenophobia and racism.
“We really want to see ARMY now and I’m sure ARMY are feeling the same emotions that we’re feeling,” BTS told E! News at the awards. “So we’ll be back with even greater music and good performances, even better music. We’ll work hard for this next year as well and then we’ll be back with great music and great performances that you can look forward to.”
