One of the reasons why I think many people are surprised by how political of K-pop stans is the overall media coverage and dismissive/skewed views of K-pop on platforms like YouTube, both left and right. (8/14)
I was assigned as a K-pop reporter in late 2018 and had little knowledge about the fandoms prior to that point. But what I've learned over the years is that they are largely progressive & politically aware, on top of their next-level dedication & organization skills. (2/14)
Lots of talk over K-pop stans going political on Twitter yet there is a reason why the whole "never have I thought I would stand with K-pop stans" meme was most people's initial reaction. Let me tell you why it was as a reporter who's been covering the scene. (1/14)

Trump has given a green light to cops and militias to beat, maim and kill people with impunity.
He has now illegally activated the military to maintain power and use force on civilians.
The red line has been crossed too many times.
He must resign.
Our lives depend on it.

The Hmong community faced a horrific tragedy over the weekend when a mass shooting took place in a Fresno backyard.
.@CNN@hrsilverman trivializes this pain for a sensational headline, calling this tragedy in a grieving community a "milestone". Shame.
