It's Hoodie Season

As many of you may know there have recently been numerous protests going on in several states around America. The protests were triggered by the murder of George Floyd, a black man, at the hands of a white police officer.

Black Lives Matter is an international human rights movement specifically fighting against systematic racial discrimination from police and other military, and striving for justice for all black lives which have been taken or negatively changed due to America’s law enforcement. This is a problem everywhere but right now American protestors need support.

The Recording Academy, which is best-known for its annual Grammy Awards, has officially invited BTS and Big Hit Entertainment founder Bang Shi Hyuk to join its ranks! This week, the famous American institution revealed that it had extended 1,340 invitations to “qualified music creators and business professionals” to join the Recording Academy as members. The BTS members have been invited to join the Recording Academy as voting members, meaning that they will be eligible to vote for the Grammy Awards. Meanwhile, Bang Shi Hyuk has been invited to join as a professional member—a type of membership for music executives, managers, publicists, agents, and other team members that work to support music creators. Formally established in 1957, the Recording Academy held the very first Grammy Awards in 1959. It currently holds the prestigious award ceremony every year to recognize achievements in music, with only its voting members eligible to cast votes and determine which of their peers will be awarded. Congratulations to BTS and Bang Shi Hyuk!

The students attending School of Performing Arts Seoul (SOPA) are being sexualized, having to perform in short pants at private parties, that their headmaster hosts. They are forced to show skinship to the people (usually soldiers) at the private parties. They have to pay for the plane ticket to go to these parties. Tons of idols like Jungkook, Hyunjin, Seokmin, Jimin, etc. it’s the students we should be worrying about, that are not looking to become idols. Because their schedule is not filled up with training and/or being proteced by a company, which would provide a barrier for the idols. While on the other hand, the students who don’t have a company’s protection, they have to perform at these private parties. The regular students that just go to school there, are being forced to do things, that no minor or unconsenting adult should have to do. (Now I’m not saying that idols didn’t have to go through this because we have no idea but it is more than likely they didn’t) This headmaster needs to be put behind bars and charged for the emotional, psychological, and physical damage he has caused. Including his wife, because she was behind this too. So, if you would possibly think of signing this petition, that would be wonderful. It raises awareness, and will hopefully cause the Korean National Police Agency to investigate the crimes of the headmaster and his wife. [This really isn’t about the idols it’s about the students that are not idols that attend SOPA.]
