BTS confronted the Grammy Awards' outdated attitude head-on, delivering a powerful message on stage.

According to a video released on the 23rd through internet video platforms and other channels, BTS recently performed a modified version of the lyrics of their hit song 'MIC Drop' at their world tour concert held at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, USA.

In the video, leader RM rewrote the lyrics of the song's highlight part as "Haters gonna hate, and we players gonna play. Born in Korea. That's why they don't know 'bout us," presenting the altered lines to the audience.

The performance has drawn even more attention as it came after friction with the Grammy side. Earlier, when the Grammy Awards established a separate 'Asian Pop' category for Asian artists, BTS declared a boycott of the awards in opposition to the policy of dividing music by language and region. The conflict later became public as existing BTS-related videos were deleted en masse from the Grammy's official website and platforms.

Tens of thousands of fans filling the venue responded with cheers to RM's surprise lyric-change performance. Online, fans continued posting analyses interpreting the meaning of the stage and messages of support, making it a hot topic among global music fans.

In the music industry, BTS's move is being evaluated as a case of breaking through head-on with musicality and identity, without compromising to the conventions of conservative global award ceremonies.

Meanwhile, BTS is currently ranked 8th in the Best Group category of the Netizen Awards for August. As of 6:27 p.m. on the 24th, they have recorded 410 votes.
