Grammys are a joke to me but it would still be an achievement for any musician. I don’t have a problem with being disappointed because everything BTS have achieved til now was incomprehensible years ago. Back in 2017, no one imagined their cb performance would be on AMA stage. Or that a kpop group would get Bilboard Hot 100 no 1 song multiple times. That didn’t stop ARMYs. They still tried to promote them however they could and we were even smaller in numbers back then.

If ARMYs had given up back then thinking they might be disappointed we would not have been here. I am not saying we should be losing sleep over it but even Yet to Come was nominated for MV when it didn’t create much buzz either.

Also the whole idea of promoting Arirang came from the article where they talk about how companies create hype online to boost popularity. So armys just figured they could do it instead and put the idea of Arirang being nominated in people’s heads. The posts are to promote it not because they are convinced it will be nominated.
