'When an artist uses Black culture for their financial gain, is it not their duty to advocate against Black suffering?' —SampaTasha
It’s a complex issue, and it’s important to remember that Black fans have a variety of opinions about how K-pop idols should show support for Black Lives Matter; Black fans are not one block of identical opinions, but rather a group of varied and valid voices.
