They band posted a tweet in their language (Korean) and also in English, using #BlackLivesMatter.
They wrote :
“We stand against racial discrimination. We condemn violence. You, I and we all have the right to be respected. We will stand together.”
Here is their tweet below
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
Their support comes a day after K-Pop fans were appreciated for working in harmony to flood racist hashtags on Twitter with fancams to keep any messages not in accordance with Black Lives Matter from spreading online.
Based on a statement from Newsis, BTS is also making a donation to Black Lives Matter groups
According to a statement from BigHit (Their entertainment label) which was translated through Google Translate ;
“We are in the process of making a donation. Since we are still in the process of sending money, we are still unable to reveal the donor and the amount of money.”
