Kpop isn't taken serious and that's okay!

There has been some discourse around the VMA nominations and people saying that Lisa should've been in the pop category instead of kpop as Born again has no Korean lyrics. Some people even saying that America only respects certain Asian musicians and doesn't respect kpop due to racism. However American recording academies have historically not respected musicians that are not seen has true artist, it has nothing to due with race. As kpop fans whether we like it or not we have to admit that a large majority of kpop acts are not artists/musicians, have no input in their music, image, and most of the time are even assigned entire personalities by the companies. They don't care about the music. They should not be awarded at prestigious western events for simply being the face of the brand. Kpop is a business and most idols see it as a JOB, or a stepping stone into entertainment. Once again it's not about race, take milli vanilli for example, once people discovered that they were a manufactured product they had their Grammy taken away, even the spice girls weren't respected by the academy once people found out they were manufactured (in a very similar fashion modern kpop groups). Kpop being seen as kids bop/teen music isn't really that big of a deal most idols groups are gimmicks with their own brand/niche who are designed and put together by a company. The only idols who should be respected are the ones who actively have input in the music.
