As we gather for the Arirang Royal Dinner,
We honor BTS > Grammys; not only as global icons, but as cultural stewards whose influence continues to uplift Korean heritage across continents. 

In their own words:

“We have decided not to submit for Grammy consideration this year. We hope our music can be heard and loved for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language.”

But Also, to the two women that inspired me to continue with the magazine itself; Arden Cho how you inspired me to remember the early days of America’s Bride magazine landing a coveted interview with Vera Wang for the magazine… years later here I am again asking Vera for a coveted interview and full feature on her delicate and romantic design for your recent wedding. And Ejae_K who I’ve been following through the Golden Globes, the Grammy’s thinking Pnina Tornai’s golden gown from her Kintsugi collection would have been a perfect gown for any one of those award shows; celebrating both ladies that embody Rumi from K-Pop Demon Hunters getting married this year feel so apropos!  

And Netflix for the platform their message got delivered on!
