Today we're diving into HYBE's surprisingly direct comments about the GRAMMYs after BTS' nominations and what this whole situation says about international recognition, timing and whether the Recording Academy moved the goalposts just as BTS were at their strongest.

I also discuss the reports that BTS' "Butter" and "Dynamite" performances have been removed from the GRAMMYs website, KARD's disbandment and disappointing album sales, my thoughts on Red Velvet's anniversary medley and what it says about SM's idea of "Velvet", as well as Kim Soohyun's return to the public eye and why I find the recent developments surrounding his case so unsettling.

As always, plenty of opinions, industry discussion and a few tangents along the way.

I get the impression that KSH is seemingly having decent start to making comeback is manufactured media play. Yeah they are bragging about him having 40 different offers for films, dramas, etc. and the first photo shoot he did was for some Filipino brand. How many of those offers are even worth considering for someone at his level prior to the scandal? I think what will truly be telling is what new projects he actually gets confirmed to be doing. Because it’ll say something about the brands, directors, screenwriters that will still be willing to attach their name to him. Also sad that I’m gonna have to stop Jung Haein’s dramas now. I noticed something about his past films and dramas. Most of his successful projects have involved to women, IU and the writer Park Ji eun. Or a drama/film that he and his company funded/executive produced like It’s Ok to not be Okay and Real (problematic film starring Sulli) Park Jieun is the writer for his breakout drama my love from another star. So I think it depends on whether or not we ever see those two women involved in another project with him even if it’s just a cameo. I’m not so sure behind closed doors if iu and ksh are as close as they used to be . Maybe there’s some true colors that she hasn’t shown us yet or there are some other reason she hasn’t publicly ditched him yet I thought it was odd that the news waited so long to talk about how IU had gotten offered the lead role in queen of tears first but rejected it to do WLGYT . And then her most recent drama get pulled into this like scandal/backlash around the same time as he suddenly getting “cleared” Possible distraction? like at least a month or something not long prior the national forensic service in Korea said they couldn’t conclusively say that AI was used to fabricate any of the audio I did some digging and did a deep dive on this monster of a man. If KSH and KSR did date for six years, this was around the time that he was filming real with Sulli.

I really liked the RV medley but I get your point about the velvet sound! I'm just excited to have them back because they're my favorite girl group and I've missed them soooo much. I watched their fancon performance today and all I'll say is... WATCHING them is very difficult right now. Half of them do not look well at all. It's like the huge elephant in the room that people want to act like isn't happening. Also don't even get me started on KSH. I need that man [redacted]! I also have to ignore all the Grammys discourse. I really do not have any respect for that institution given how racist and anti-Black it's been in the past and all the discourse around this right now is exhausting.
