Fans of the K-Pop band, BTS, who are collectively called ARMY, have united to fulfill a true purpose when they decided to match the 1 million dollars donation the band group is donating to the Black Lives Matter movement, OYOGist.com has gathered.
The Black Lives Matter is a movement originating from the United States that campaigns against violence and systemic racism against blacks in the country.
The recent killing of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man by police in Minneapolis has sparked weeks of protests in the country and around the world.
In a show of solidarity toward the Black Lives Matter movement and to make their stance on systemic racism in America known, BTS decided to donate a whopping $1 million dollars towards the initiative.
The announcement was made on Saturday by Bit Hit Entertainment, which manages BTS, according to Yonhap news agency.
