This is bullshit journalism. K-pop fans can't even 'mobilise' successfully for better treatment of K-pop performers and actually are often the same people sending them hate. The idea that pop fans of any persuasion are some sort of social justice force is utterly deluded.

You're celebrating literal Grifting 'Fundraising drives to buy presents for K-pop 'idols' also lend themselves to raising money for charity'

Sound very partisan.
