K-pop fans have taken to Twitter, voicing out that they think it’s racist to keep bands such as BTS from competing against other top pop acts.
K-pop粉絲在推特上發聲，他們認為阻止諸如BTS等團體與其他頂尖流行樂指標競爭，
是種族主義者的表現。
BTS Army has flooded the social media platform to show their outrage and disappointment for MTV’s move.
Army蜂擁社群媒體，表達他們對VMA的憤怒與失望。
While BTS is nominated for “Best Collaboration,” “Best Art Direction” and “Best Choreography” alongside the new K-pop category, the BTS Army has pointed out that the band is not up for major categories such as “Video of the Year,” “Artist of the Year” and “Best New Artist.” It’s also been brought to attention that the MTV VMAs have used photo centered on Halsey‘s face to represent the “Boy With Luv” collaboration rather than a photo of the group.
雖然BTS入圍了「最佳合作」、「最佳藝術指導」、「最佳編舞」，
以及新增的「最佳K-pop」等獎項，
但Army指出，「年度影片」、「年度藝人」、「最佳新人」（？）等傳統大獎都漏了BTS，
而且用於顯示Boy With Luv入圍的照片，也使用了以Halsey為焦點的畫面，而非全體照。

第一時間想看看金曲獎有沒有類似爭議，
不過看起來都滿小心政治正確的。
但另一方面來說，
也有部分是因為當初南韓為了宣揚自己國家，
特意強調「K」概念的影響吧？
