BTS<\/a> and their management company Big Hit Entertainment donated $1 million to Black Lives Matter<\/a> earlier this week, Variety<\/em> reported<\/a> Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the K-pop superstars didn\u2019t comment on the donation on social media, both Black Lives Matter and Big Hit confirmed the transfer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Black Lives Matter managing director Kailee Scales told Variety<\/em>, \u201cBlack people all over the world are in pain at this moment from the trauma of centuries of oppression. We are moved by the generosity of BTS and allies all over the world who stand in solidarity in the fight for Black lives.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier in the week, BTS tweeted in support of the George Floyd protests. \u201cWe stand against racial discrimination. We condemn violence. You, I and we all have the right to be respected. We will stand together. #BlackLivesMatter,\u201d the group stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

The $1 million contribution comes after the K-pop fan armies mobilized to help drown out the #WhiteLivesMatter hashtag<\/a> on social media.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea of spamming these types of white supremacist hashtags came from the idea of spamming the Dallas Police Department app,\u201d Twitter user \u201cLovely Doya,<\/span><\/a>\u201d a 17-year-old BTS and ONEUS fan from California, told Rolling Stone.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe did it to protect the people at the protest because K-pop fans agree that they do not deserve to be arrested for gathering to fight for justice. Since this plan was successful, we realized it would work with other things like burying hateful white-supremacist tweets in their own hashtags.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLovely Doya\u201d added, \u201cIt\u2019s important to show support because the BLM movement is about bringing justice to all the innocent lives lost at the hands of racist police officers. It is something that myself and countless other K-pop fans believe in, because many of us, including myself, are POC. At the end of the day, we are human before we are K-pop stans.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

On Sunday, BTS will take part in YouTube\u2019s Class of 2020 compilation of graduation commencement speeches<\/a>, with Barack and Michelle Obama and Lady Gaga also delivering speeches.<\/span><\/p>\n
