Seems like there's a bit of controversy given his past actions, kpop can never be simple

Jay Park has donated $10,000 to the Black Lives Matter movement and used his platform to call for change.

On May 28, the rapper, singer, and founder of AOMG posted on Twitter to share that he’d donated $10,000 to the Black Lives Matter Global Network. He added, “Pray to God the truth prevails.”



Black Lives Matter is an activist movement that campaigns for an end to violence and systemic racism towards the black community, including police brutality and killings of black people. Earlier this week, outrage was sparked once again by the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man, after he was pinned to the ground by a white police officer in Minneapolis. Protests have spread nationwide and many people are donating to help the movement.

Jay Park also posted on Instagram to share his anger and call for change. Read his post below:

Oh yea I saw it on his IG, I mean he's Jay but he's always been connected to America and everything happening there and he's often spoken up during situations where stuff is just obviously unfair and I'm glad he did so again this time.

He's been under fire in the past for saying some racist stuff so that's why some people aren't as approving of this

Yea I know and it's partially the fact that he's Korean-american so he let himself talk too loosely in those situations, it's been a while since then tho and as far as I remember he apologized for it, he's mentioned many times how much he actually respects the black community seeing as he is a part of a minority himself.
