Over the years, stories related to BTS and GRAMMYs have not stopped attracting the attention of fans. In particular, after BTS failed to win the award at the 65th GRAMMYs, this story continues to be hotter than ever.

Many people think that BTS failed at one of the biggest events on the planet, on the other hand, many people point out that the new GRAMMY doesn't deserve BTS. Meanwhile, with an insider's perspective, SUGA expressed his attitude and views on this situation and the GRAMMY award in a recent interview.

SUGA's answer made the fans unable to agree more and gave him a lot of applause:

The GRAMMY 2023 Awards ceremony held earlier this year at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles is the third year in a row that BTS has received nominations. However, as many had predicted before, BTS did not win any awards in this awards ceremony and it sparked the story of GRAMMY using the group's name to gain attention.

Not only that, fans also pointed out that the fact that BTS did not win GRAMMY does not mean that the quality of their music is not recognized. There are many recognized artists who have never received a GRAMMY award in their career. Some added that conquering GRAMMY was just a goal to fill the group's collection.

Similarly, BTS members and typically SUGA also think that GRAMMY is not a place they have to go or the only peak that the group needs to conquer. In his latest interview with LA Times, SUGA did not hesitate to express his thoughts on netizens' rumors about BTS and GRAMMY.

One answer in particular drew attention as he appeared to be covering for the GRAMMYs. Considering his straightforward personality and not being afraid to speak his mind, it's not surprising that SUGA replied, “Isn’t that a local thing?”. Specificially, the LA Times wrote in their article: "While Suga is playfully cynical about accolades like Grammy Awards — “Isn’t that a local thing?” he joked, echoing South ḳöŕệän director Bong Joon Ho’s quip about the Oscars — he has nuanced thoughts about his place in hip-hop."

As explained in the interview, this quote was said in 2020 by kσrєαn director Bong Joon Ho, who became known to global fans after winning the “Best Director” award at the Oscars. During an interview, Bong Joon Ho stated how he didn’t believe the event was international. 

In a paragraph in the artcle: "Bong Joon-ho’s Dystopia Is Already Here The ḳöŕệän director’s ruthless, bleak new film Parasite is the most fun you’ll have in theaters this fall", editor Alex Jung wrote that: "Of course, we are dancing around his journey into the carnival that is an Academy Awards campaign, which seems to mildly amuse him from a distance. I ask what he thinks of the fact that no ḳöŕệän film has ever been nominated for an Oscar despite the country’s outsize influence on cinema in the past two decades. “It’s a little strange, but it’s not a big deal,” he says, shrugging. “The Oscars are not an international film festival. They’re very local.”"

When the interview was shared, ARMYs liked Suga's composure in his comments. Even though he only repeats one phrase from Bong Joon Ho, it seems to show the group continues to be aware of what's going on around them.

ARMYs are crazy about his answer: 

- He said,” no thanks I’m good.” And he meant it

- Guys I fell for him a lil more after this ngl

- that's so hot of him

- ONLY FAXX NO PRINTER

- I mean, where's the lie ?

- Yoongi to the grannys

- YOONGI SAYING THE GRAMMY AWARDS ARE A LOCAL THINGSKSKS, YEES MY KING TELL THEM

- Legendary Yoongi shade.

- Playful Yoongi 

- Ma man's real words with sound of playful

- That's why I chose him to be my bias

- ngl i have prayed for days like this, calling a spade a spade

- Nah. He's still savage. And I'm down for it lol

As always, SUGA is never afraid to speak his mind and the use of a quote by a kσrєαn director shows the similarities between the Oscars and the GRAMMYs. At the same time, this also shows that the fact that not winning GRAMMY is not a loss or a big failure because the group has already been recognized by fans and worldwide.

This isn't the first time SUGA has given a candid and humorous answer to this. After the GRAMMY 2022 event, during a live broadcast, SUGA explained that the awards show was just a pause during their trip to Las Vegas for a concert.

SUGA said: "But weren’t we just stopping by at the GRAMMYs when we came here only to do a concert?"

And now, it looks like SUGA has done it again and got fans excited for it!
