Should K-POP Idols speak up more about BLM?

People are always so quick to try an cancel a celebrity. Everything doesn’t have to be posted. Donating and supporting a cause is not a competition.

From my personal feelings is that while I don’t expect them to because they may not be allowed to speak on topics like this I will always be grateful for it when they do

also most kpop idols don't have control over their socials, their companies do. they probably couldn't even if they wanted to.

100% agreed. People are going against each other where we should be coming together.

A lot of people fail to realize that some of the idols' social media are run by their company even some with personal accounts. Even Denise from Secret Number spoke about black lives matter and her account got disabled by HER COMPANY. Maybe some of the idols donated in private and I dislike people coming at BTS for not speaking out just leave them alone if they speak out eventually then good other then that chill out on them and other groups.

"did YOU do anything?"
If y'all felt called out then just leave in silence

We have to remember that in the same way American people don’t know about Korean news, lots of Korean people have no idea and really don’t care about the stuff going on in the US. Should they? Maybe. That depends on the person. But overall, media around the world isn’t covering it and you have to remember that most people outside of the US have no clue about this.

He was speaking truth. When I heard about George Floyd, my mind definitely did not think of if kpop stars speak out or not. We have American celebrities and American businesses who hasn't said a word. I still receive emails about sales from people and companies that have been silent.
Secondly, many idols don't have control over their socials. Just because we "see" large chunks of idol's lives, we do not see everything. At the end of the day, we don't know what they do off camera. They could have donated and sign petitions and we would never know.
Also, the news media is extremely edited. By the time news reached us, it has already gone through several filters... And that's just local news. Now imagine international news.
Remember the riots in Ukraine not too long ago? I have a friend who went to stay with her mom there because they are still rioting and she is scared. We wouldn't know if they riots were still going on or not because the news stopped reporting it.
I'm pretty sure there may have been a segment here and there about our America on Korean news stations but we cannot hold people responsible to speak out if they never got the whole story or updates in the first place.
We also cannot "summon" an interest in American political news if there was not an interest there to begin with.
I think at the end of the day, people pick and choose what they deem to be important and what they spend their time on. Don't use black lives matter as an excuse to spew negative towards someone you already don't care for (antis). Sorry this is so long

I think them educating themselves is most important. So when they do speak, it is real, genuine, not just because they are told to. Like others have said, I dont expect it, but when they do, It's appreciated.

I know a few have spoke about like Johnny from NCT, Eric Nam, Jae from Day6 those are the ones I've seen talk about it
Edit : I do want you all to tell me all the idols who have said something or touched on it, I only put these 3 cause those were the ones I saw on Twitter and Instagram. Thank you all for telling me and everyone on here on who spoke up and donated.
God bless you all and have a blessed day 💞
#blacklivesmatter

let's not forget that Mark from Got7 donated $ 7,000. I love him too much 🖤 also Jay Park donated $10,000 and jae of day6 donated $1,000 and other kpop idol. Black Live Matter ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿.

Some people really think the world revolves around USA. Anyway i support BLM but i live half way across the world and some know and some don't. its better to speak out when you really know about it and truely care instead of jumping the bandwagon for social media points

The only idols that I would expect to speak up about the issue, would be the members/idols not born in Korea. If they do, that's great; if they don't, that's fine.

I’d really appreciate if idols spoke on blm but I’m not going to expect them or demand them to especially when we haves some of our own black American celebrities who haven’t said anything or barely said anything at all. I don’t think we should depend on celebrities to say something cause while they do have large platforms and they should want to help an issue like, we’re really wasting our time waiting on celebrities to say something.

Us blacks know K-POP idols aren’t obliged to speaking up about blacklivesmatter. But I think it would be very eye opening if they did. It would make me love them even more.

I agree with Bris. When I support BLM I do not post about it except when I am raising awareness. I focus on what I need to do as an individual for this cause rather than what some stranger that lives hundreds of miles of way is doing. For all we know they could be making donations and not saying anything. Sure you guys would like reassurance but that is not something idols are required to do. Focus on what YOU need to do to help instead of criticizing others for not doing enough. A kpop idol not speaking out should not be your priority atm.

(Army here but I am really sure that other Idols from other groups do the same) Our Boys dont always tell us when they donate something, be it money, food or whatever. Half the time we hear about it its not from them, it's from a shelter, organization or whatever they donated to that wanted let us know and be greatful. Same went for example that one time JK caught someone falling down the stage elevator. He was hurt the rest of the night, he still performed and didn't say a word even tho he could've taken credit for saving someone. It was the man that fell who spoke up about it. And thats why I think you are right when you say we have no fucking idea what they are doing and they don't have to tell us either. And I'm 100% sure other Idols are doing the same. Everyone should stop looking at others ans instead look at themself and ask themselves if they did anything to help at all. Hating and pointing fingers at others for not doing anything if you don't even know its true (and even if) doesn't help anyone. Doing something yourself does and maybe think about not boasting about it because if you do it to be praised for it there's something fundamentally wrong. Grow the fck up.

They don't even talk about controversial topics in Korea like the Nth room case which was HUGE in Korea (although some idols did like EXO Baekhyun and Chanyeol), why do you expect them to talk about a non-Korea related problem?

Korean : Speak up for Free Hongkong !
American : Speak up for BLM !
If Koreans ask Lady Gaga to speak up about Free HongKong, can you understand that? Of course, everyone's human rights should be respected.
But I don't think it's right to bring social issues into the realm of culture.

Why should they? I know they have black fans but most Asian's aren't educated on this topic. Every time an idol opens their mouth about anything like this they get ripped to shreds already let alone on a topic they aren't educated on. The ones that are familiar have spoken up. Idols should speak when they feel comfortable enough to because people are extremely sensitive right now so i get it

Let me just say this fandoms especially mine are made up of a mass majority of minorities all around the world. All ethnicities backgrounds, religions. Many going through their own horrifying struggles in their countries. That we don’t know about. I’ve followed my boys from the beginning and what they have taught me is to be me love me and the people around me be a good individual , be proud be giving be supportive just by being them. Showing us this through Their music and actions their struggles. Army coming together to give donations on their behalf to many causes because of their positive influence and message. They have always been silent donors I believe in my heart that they have done something or will do something . I’ve seen a lot of army’s around the world supporting in their way, I’ve seen them march and share links sign petitions and donate, all that is the good that these boys have brought into army’s hearts. Now is the time to stand together and support one another. We don’t know nothing about their side of the world and we should try to understand. They are damned if they do and damned if they don’t. People are on a bts hate agenda using BLM to hurt them and you . This is not the time for fandom wars. We need to stand together and support each other. They may not be able to speak on it but a lot of us can.

Thank 👏🏻 You 👏🏻
People need to stop being so worried about what this or that celebrity didn't say and worry more about what WE can do. How can WE help the movement. That's what matters.

Honestly, I haven’t felt any type of way about people outside of the US speaking about this issue. The work needs to be done HERE first. You hit the nail on the head when you said our own American (and sadly African American) artists aren’t speaking up.
Something else to remember is that while American artists can be bold and forthcoming, and speak freely on any issue they choose, Korean labels run a much “tighter ship” so to speak. So much money is tied up into these idols and as K-Pop is dependent upon fan culture, they almost have to be a neutral blank slate, or they risk alienating fans.
With that said, it is truly humbling to see so many other countries protesting and standing in solitary with us, as well as seeing Jay Park and Mark from GOT7 donating and making posts.

It's like blaming American celebrities for not speaking out about Hongkong protests or corruption of the SK president. Why can't Americans understand that the world does not revolve around you. A lot of people from other countries have their own issues to deal with. Most Asians have never met a black person in their entire lives. What you expect them to do? Suddenly have a stance on deeply American issue?

I would be more worried about those here in the US first before dealing with those out side and also we don't know if they didn't donate nor do I look up to idols/celebs for ig posts that might not be sincere. ugh....

Some of them can’t even speak up because when they do,the company deletes it.

Okay so as a korean I would like to explain that many koreans are actually quite dubious on this entire protest. (I dont speak for each and every kpop artists and i dont mean to hurt anyone's feelings). Yes they feel for the wrongful death of George Floyd, yes they are upset at the racist action of the white policemen but the biggest reason for the dubious opinion is due to the violence of this protest. remember that korea is a country that drove off their ex-president with a peaceful candle march towards the Blue House. They are VERY doubtful when it comes to violent protests. The korean news that started out reporting about the racial conflicts behind Floyds death have quickly turned to report news on the Korean store owners in the US who have had their stores robbed and burnt down by black protesters. If their people are becoming victims how could you expect them to be supportive??? Secondly, many koreans/asians have memories of being racially discriminated by not just white people but also black people. Even just a few days prior to Floyd's death there were reports of asians becoming victims of hate crimes due to the coronavirus. I remember watching a video uploaded by a black male chasing and mocking an old korean lady squirting hand sanitizer at her as she ran away from him pleading for him to stop and nobody in the comments thought that it was wrong except for the koreans who were extremely upset. I often watch live korean game streams but whenever theres an english comment passing by they would say "coronavirus" or "do you have the coronavirus", "ching chang chong".... I even saw one that said "i wont be getting the corona virus because im black"... but guess what? this didnt even become news in the states. The world, except for asia, wasnt even the least bit concerned that many asians were becoming victims of racial hate crimes. I myself have been living in the states for a long time have experienced several racism from black people. If yall have been a kpop fan for a while you will probably know what I mean. They may be quiet about it but they are also humans that have feelings and they do get hurt. Even in this day and age asians are a race that are attacked left and right. The korean people do understand that these hateful people do not represent the entire black community and that there are many many civilized people too. However, those exceptions happen a bit too often and have greatly hurt the asian race making many asian people reluctant of this protest. Even with such a great history of fighting against racism it just feels as though so many have not learned. Just hope that they will after this one. As much as BLACK LIVES MATTER, ASIAN LIVES MATTER TOO.

My whole thing is that KPOP idols don’t have to post about it,but it would be nice if they did because I’m sure that there are a lot of black people in there fandom so it’s a bit sad that they don’t but hey...🤷🏽‍♀️❤️

FIRST, thank you for making this video. Thank you for not being carried away by those crazy “fans”. And know that I’m doing my best to support black community as well.
I understand that this is about all idols, not just BTS. But because many haters out there pick BTS as their target, I have to say this. It is so f*cked up when people started twisting BTS’s efforts on the Love Yourself project. Remember the fact that more than any other artists, BTS have left the most positive messages to influence a huge number of people and inspired fans to help many many people who are struggling in the world. Don’t just throw away all of those good doings just because you don’t see them speaking up about the problem now. Not talking about it doesn’t mean that they’re ignorant or turn away from what they’ve stood for. The LOVE YOURSELF and SPEAK YOURSELF campaign is about YOU. YOU are supposed to love yourself, YOU are supposed to speak up, use YOUR voice. It was never about BTS. Through BURN THE STAGE, BRING THE SOUL, BREAK THE SILENCE movies, BTS already played as a role model for us to speak up ourselves by speaking up themselves about all the struggles of idols/artists, which brought awareness to people and hoping for a change in the future. None of us really know what they’re doing behind the scenes or if they’ve done something to help. So shut the f*ck up. Not to mention that if it’s not because of BTS, there wouldn’t be such a huge community (ARMY) where people help spread awareness. The whole fandom already know what’s going on. Hence, the platform that BTS built was utilized effectively 🤷🏻‍♀️ Genuine ARMY are adorable and kind. I’m proud of you guys who have always done good things to make BTS proud, just like what BTS always teach us in every single damn song that THEY WORKED THEIR ASS OFF FOR THIS IGNORANT SOCIETY!!! 💜 Therefore, haters need to know their place. Besides, KPOP idols might not want to take attention away from black voices because of the damn haters who like to twist their words, turning truth to lie and vice versa. 😏 It’s fair to demand such things from black artists all over the world, yes but from a South Korean group? I don’t think so. Some says that BTS promotes in America and that’s why they need to speak up about this issues going on there. RIDICULOUS LOGIC. Let me tell you this, BTS also tour in many other countries, so if they speak about this, will we keep the same energy and ask them to speak about every foreign affair that occurs wherever they’re at??? For example, matters that have been happening in Hong Kong, Latin America, India, Taiwan, etc.??? Keep in mind that they are ARTISTS, not POLITICAL ACTIVISTS. Stop all the logics like “they’re powerful. They have a lot of money. Their fan base is big. Blah blah blah.” DUDE, we’re fans who are here for their music. The majority of us have zero power to control or make changes about this issue. Artists are just normal citizens under powerful political systems after all. Moreover, BTS have always shown respect to the black culture. As artists, they have used their fame, their platform to educate fans about amazing black artists, once again reclaim the value of black music and remind people to appreciate it even more. No one has done it as good as BTS do. Their collab with UNICEF was meant to focus on helping children, and they did it effectively. They’ve always influenced the world with positive messages through MUSIC, where they’re belonged to. So chill out, stop twisting facts, know your place, focus on yourself, instead of hating on other people or mess other people’s lives while the world needs unity and teamwork the most right now. PEACE!!!

Just so u know terry, we will always be here and support u, no matter ur skin color, we are all the same 🙏❤️

Omg, thank you for speaking up about this, because I've seen already some people that used this issue to instigate fanwars and go against some idols, while the most important thing to do is not pointing fingers at others, it is our effort of what we do to help, and change the situation to be better. This is not the time for people to go around and judge others we don't even know what's happening behind the story of idols, so that's why everyone should focus on what they can do. Stop being judgemental and just care about your own efforts.

Mad respect!!!! Much love and support for both of you!

I have never clicked on a video so fast. I have been thinking abt this ever since it started bro.

I’ve been waiting for this video ✋🏾🤩🤚🏾

1000000% agree. It is very ignorant for people to force someone to tell you what they donated. People are actually trying to focus on change not some petty fan wars.

WORDDDDD!!! AND THIS CAME RIGHT ON TIME BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE COMING AT THE IDOLS DEMANDING THEM TO SHOW PROOF OF DONATIONS AND STUFF!!!

I’d like to say that a lot of idols will have to ask their companies to speak out about it and tweet or post on Instagram about it so even if they donate ect a lot of times they need permission to post about stuff like this

Kpop idols should be allowed to speak about it but I think they don't want to say the wrong thing or make matters worse. Some people don't know how to react or what to say to help.

Thank you for this because I was so tired of pple calling out kpop idols when they should from themselves first before pointing out people

Very very very good points made here. I'll never be able to see life through the eyes of Dezzy and Bris but I'm always so glad they share their viewpoints because LISTENING is a good place to start. Thanks so much for sharing, though you are never obligated to.

How about we worry about America’s racism and other parts of the world and leave the kpop idols alone for once?

I’ll never understand why people are always more focused on who liked what and who published what on Instagram like is it how you show that you care? Ofc that’s great for celebrities to speak up but that’s a waste of energy to expect whoever you stan to suddenly become an activist. First of all although it’s covered globally you’ve got to understand racism in Korea isn’t perceived the same way as in the US. They might have heard about it but don’t know how big it is. What artists in the US have ever spoken up about people getting killed in Brazil for the exact same reason? Have YOU ever spoken up about people getting killed in other countries for asking for a tad bit of freedom? When it doesn’t touch you, you simply don’t care so don’t expect everyone in the world to do as such. If you’ve got energy to waste re-focus it on helping the movement instead it’s not like you need a kpop idol to find links to funds and petitions.

Thank you bris and Dezzy for giving your input on this. I need to find your podcast so I can listen.

This is literally how I feel. Thank you speaking on this, more people need to see this!

this was really well said, thank you

Same Kpop was the last thing that was on my mind when the movement started. As an African American female I was more worried about the people protesting.

Thank you so much guys ! I really appreciate this !
I'm kinda fed up with this issue and how people keep forcing idols to speak up about it, with the excuse "tHeY havE a HugE plaTfoRm sO thEy MuSt sPeAk Up mOrE !"
I mean, WTH ? Forcing people to do something good is not a good thing
Everytime an idol post something in his/her social media, the comments are like :
"you must speak up about BLM, open your purse !"
"we don't fuckin' care, open your pursue!"
Excuse me ??? Is that how you ask other people for help ? Is that how you ask other people to donate ??
Where's your MANNER ???
I'm 1000% agree with you. I support this movement, but if someone forced me to do it, i won't do it.
I'm not gonna do something because i'm being forced, i'm gonna do something because i want to do it !
To every K-Pop fans out there, please open your mind ! Stop spamming your bias with BLM campaign !
You can stan and unstan whoever and whenever you want, but spamming and throwing hates to your bias because they keep silent is not making you better than Derek Chauvin.
Please stop !

Thank youuuuu for saying this!!!!! This is what should be happening. Worry about yourself first before placing the blame on others or cancelling.

Hope some money gets donated to rebuild the communities who have had their livelihoods, jobs, and lifelong businesses destroyed.

You speak the truth everybody needs to worry about what they are doing.

Thank you for some more voices of reason regarding the topic!!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR SAYING WHAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO TELL THESE PEOPLE ALL THIS TIME

I’m pretty early so I wanted to take this chance to say, black lives matter! And they always will, just because you are born with something, doesn’t mean you should suffer for it. I’m not black so I will never understand the pain black people go through. Love and support you all always! 💜💜

MAMAMOO moonbyul and wheein and red velvet yeri and jessi talked about BLM 💘

The amount of respect I had for you guys just grew so much and I didn’t think it could get any higher. Thank you

Exactly. Well said. Nobody needs to show off what they have contributed to something. Thank you for sharing this topic.

This is something everyone needs to hear! We gotta share this to everyone. The time you waste judging people is the time you can waste helping the black community. That's the only thing tha matters.
Thank you for this man .. be safe while protesting and yeah.. we can do this ✊✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿🖤

DEFINITELY. I see Jay Park & Flowsik have donated to Black Lives Matter. I see a few of the artists speaking up about it. Probably more have donated to it & have spoken up about it, because black lives DOES MATTER ✊🏽

thank you for doing this 🖤

Me and my friend started talking about this and everything that you said I told her and she told me! We are all so quick to criticize but we don’t know what happens behind closed doors!

YESSSS

YESSS. IM EARLYYYYY. BLACK LIVES MATTER!

Johnny from NCT made a comment in support and all the comments were how he needed to donate money. Like let’s appreciate the support without feeling like it only counts if you put out money.

I would honestly love to see you out of pocket more. I hope you're staying safe. Keep doing what you need to do and we'll keep doing what we need to do for the cause.

👏🏾👏🏾 BLACK LIVES MATTER AND THATS ON PERIOD 👏🏾👏🏾
SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE !!!!!!!!

This is one of the reasons why I will never claim myself as a Army, Ahgase, Mua, Blink or whatever because when it comes to topics like this, the bigger picture is lost. People are singling out certain artist / idols but are quiet about their favs. Yes, I would love to see idols, especially the ones who are heavily influenced by black culture and is reflected in their music show some type of support for the BLM movement, but if they don't what am I supposed to do? Beat them? No. If you're black and feel some type of way about it and you feel as if you don't want to support them anymore then don't. But don't force your opinion on other people. Same thing goes for the people who are making excuses for their favorite idols, instead of preaching to persons saying they are not obligated to support BLM, don't say anything at all, because a lot of y'all are coming off as hypocrites. That my two cents

I am grateful for the ones that have offered their support. Thank you so much it means the world to us.❤💜

Thank you Bris for being a voice of rationality. I agree with everything you said. Please stay safe and take care of yourself, fam and friends. I truly hope this movement forces the vital changes needed in the USA, for all people of colour to live happy and safe lives free from fear and prejudice. much love dude, from UK xx

#BlackLivesMatter
Listen I respect all the protests, but what I hate rn is some fandoms are saying “Dont promote (group), #BlackLivesMatter.” Like I get it your trying to prove a point, but you’re literally hurting their career and everything else they worked hard for. Also how is it their fault? They live in Korea not America. How are they suppose to understand what’s going on from the history of these events, which is not even in their own country? This is just an opinion feel free to hate me, but I stand with what I said, this is not our idols fault so stop blaming them for something they know little about.
#BlackLivesMatter

I’m not a person of color and won’t know people of color go through, but I do support this movement and agree that your lives do matter. I hate how racist others can be. But I don’t believe that Kpop idols absolutely need to speak up. They’re not American and they technically have no control of what happens over here since they are not American citizens. I think that the only Kpop idols who should probably speak out about the issue is those who are from America. Other than that I don’t believe it is their obligation because once again they don’t live here and really have no part in it. It would be nice if they did speak up but people have no right to get mad at them for not doing it because first off their company may not be allowing them to do so and it is something that isn’t necessarily happening in Korea, yes racism could be happening there, but the killing is not happening there.

Thank you for sharing this! I didn't know what to think of this either. You've helped me understand! Stay safe! Black lives matter!!!!

I agree that this is the last things that needs to be thought about. But for some of us who at the end of our days going out protesting, donating, etc. We are sitting there thinking about it and it hurts.
Honestly it's not about "fan wars" or disliking an idol. People are genuinely pissed off and hurt.. granted we dont know the ins and outs of why they haven't spoken up about it there is a right to be angry and especially black fans and at this moment.

Short Answer: Yes, they should.
Why: Well, many KPOP idols take influence from black artist. A lot of them wouldn’t be where they are Musically and Artistically if it wasn’t for the inspiration of Black American artist, and even black artists form other counties. Well they wear box braids, dreads, rap, etc. all that comes from BLACK culture. So yes they should. Will they? I don’t know. It’s just about what’s right. Either way it’s not their place to be angry or speak out. But why wouldn’t they? Many other non blacks are standing up for #BLACKLIVESMATTER, protesting, spreading awareness and more. So they could too.

But y'all don't know how much controversy that would cause in the kpop industry. A lot of people would support them for talking about this situation but other people would drag the idols to the ground. You'll see many people backstab idols or fandoms for talking about this.

Thank You for your commentary 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Thank you this Brix ,those of us at the other end of the world do need this clarity,people should remember that twitter is not a representation of the whole world ,there are a lot of things out of it and beyond it.

I don't think they should talk about it, everyone is free, if they do its appreciated and if they don't it's ok too.

Bts talking about this topic for a long time on how to treat the others and how to love ur self “no matter who u are where u from ur skin color gender identity just speak ur self love ur self

I won't lie - it does hurt me. It hurts me a lot. But it would be ridiculous to turn this into some sort of fan war when literal lives are being threatened. Personally, I've just chosen to mute companies/idols rn who are still promoting/uploading to twitter and whatnot. Not because I'm ready to "cancel" them, but because a daily selca or new fancam is the last thing I want to see after spending hours watching footage after footage of unjust violence and bullying.

Well said, Bris! Appreciate what you pointed out about personal action. There are too many armchair critics and too much focus on celebrities!

Only *KPop Idol* I see speak up about it was *Johnny* from *NCT 127* but they're probably donating and supporting behind closed doors. I mean they're Koreans, they don't need to speak up cause it's about *Black People* half the things that goes on in Korea, *US* don't give a shit! So it really doesn't bothers me that aren't speaking about *BLM*

They don't have to talk about it. It's not they're obligation

I love ur podcast. Its true. 'It start with u' is such a great statement. That should trend.

Amen! Thank you! Well said.

People are using the situation to create fanwars💀

My Answer is if : the idols want to it’s up to them

I’ve been waiting 😊😊

Thank you for sharing BRISxLIFE that it begins "with you". Everyone has their own way of expressing their support. American and/or International Celebrities may choose to use their voice & write a check, and/or remain silent and write a check.

People should stop involving everything with politics

I disagree on some parts
Not just kpop. Any artist or person who is influenced by black culture should speak up. If they aren’t that’s almost equivalent to always being there for a friend when they need you... but when you ask for the smallest favor in return .. they refuse.
I do agree that we should put more focus on what WE’RE doing. I for sure am putting more focus on BLM...But in the back of my mind I can’t help but be disappointed in artists that are heavily influenced by black culture that are silent 😕

You are a man of wisdom and grace. Regardless of who is standing up or not, you got us behind you.
And you right, people need to start focusing on what they are doing to help rather than pouring negativity towards kpop idols who are miles away. Cmon people, let's use this energy to rebuild America.

Thanks so much for uploading this! I'm with you in the "not in ithis cancel culture"

I feel bad for the man died during the arrest, but the young men and women who are looting stores in the name of “protest” is totally unacceptable, no one should be allowed loot the store they see just because they are protesting.

All of my fav KPop artist have spoken up, so I can't relate. Also Stan Denise of Secret Number. She spoke up and was punished for it.

Preach🙏🏻 guys if you cant go to protest or donate money just make sure you sign every petition you come across on this matter! That will be appreciated!❤

I just saw Moonbyul, and Wheein post their blackout Tuesday pic on Ig so in a way they are supporting the movement which makes me happy. A lot of these artist might not be allowed to say or do too much when it comes to things like this so I think it’s dope that at least they are joining in on the movement in some way

I just saw that there's a female idol who uploaded some stories supporting the BLM movement on her insta and her account was shut down

BTS already stand with u guys against racial discrimination. #BlackLivesMatter

Thank you bris this is all in my mind rn

AGREED, GOD BLESS YOU BOTH. LOVE
