K-pop fans are a force to be reckoned with – which is why all across the world they’ve come together to help drown out online opposition to the Black Lives Matter movement. How have they achieved such a feat? By flooding the #WhiteLivesMatter hashtag with videos and images of their favourite musicians to take attention away from racist or offensive posts.Hashtags like #BlackLivesMatter and #BlackoutTuesday have been trending as protests spread, demanding justice for George Floyd.
The K-pop band, BTS, even took a rare political stance by voicing their solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. “We stand against racial discrimination. We condemn violence. You, I and we all have the right to be respected. We will stand together. #BlackLivesMatter,” the band told their 26 million followers on Twitter. It proves, once again, that there really is power in numbers .
