MONSTA X Joins The Growing List Of K-Pop Idols Who Have Shown Support For The #BlackLivesMatter Movement
Ever since the #BlackLivesMatter movement against racial discrimination and injustice have started, more and more celebrities in the Korean entertainment scene have shown their support for it.
People started advocating for the #BlackLivesMatter movement again this May 2020, when George Floyd, a black man, died while being detained by the police.
A video showing Derek Chauvin, a white, Minneapolis police officer, kneeling on Floyd’s neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, has sparked outrage and protests worldwide.
Some K-Pop stars who have recently spoken up about it are worldwide stars BTS who posted about their support in Twitter…
우리는 인종차별에 반대합니다.
우리는 폭력에 반대합니다.
나, 당신, 우리 모두는 존중받을 권리가 있습니다. 함께 하겠습니다.We stand against racial discrimination.
We condemn violence.
You, I and we all have the right to be respected. We will stand together.#BlackLivesMatter— 방탄소년단 (@BTS_twt) June 4, 2020
…and Seattle-born Jay Park who also donated $10,000 to Black Lives Matter and posted his honest thoughts about the movement on Instagram.
Additionally, GOT7’s Mark also supported the cause by donating $7,000 to the Official George Floyd Memorial fund and encouraging his fans to hopefully show their support, too.
