Don't cross K-pop stans. WhiteLivesMatter WhiteoutWednesday BlueLivesMatter
— If there's one rule on social media that people can agree on, it's this: Don't cross K-pop stans. With tens of thousands of K-pop fan accounts posting over six billion tweets last year, they have become one of the strongest forces on social media.
Hashtags like #BlackLivesMatter and #BlackoutTuesday have been trending on social media as Americans demand justice for Floyd. But many who oppose the BLM movement have been countering those hashtags with their own, such as #WhiteoutWednesday. "Police arrest that boy for stealing my heart #BlueLivesMatter," one tweet says with a fancam of SuperM's Lucas performing.
While they might be thousands of miles away from the scene of where Floyd died, numerous K-pop stars have used their platforms to speak out on racial equality.
