In late 2020, “K-pop fans” were praised as a socially conscious monolithic community who used fancams to flood watchdog apps, hijack racist hashtags, and to buy-out Trump rally tickets. Often k-pop movements were externally seen as moving in the name of BLM, but, if you actually spoke with black k-pop fans, you’d see that not all of these gestures helped black k-pop fans. K-pop fans of color have, in actuality, endured years of anti-blackness from fellow k-pop fans, and we still see it today. From HYBE’s lack of action around its app which allows for racist language, image, and violent messaging, to the ongoing doxxing that we see happening on Twitter on fans of color who simply ask their favorite idols to do better, fandom has unfortunately been a force of harm for communities of color. So, to better understand the issues and explore what we could be doing next, we’ve assembled a panel of speakers.
This episode is a recording of a #kpopchat conversation we held on Twitter Spaces. Every week on Twitter Spaces, we hold #kpopchat discussions on interesting things happening in and around the k-pop community.
