K-Pop stans love to use social media to talk about their favourite artists - and they're putting their power to good use.
They've taken to Twitter to take over racist hashtags like #whitelivesmatter, flooding these hashtags with anti-racist posts (as well as a healthy dose of memes).
It's in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, and people joined in, expressing their approval of what K-Pop fans were doing.

They also tweeted about how they thought racists using the hashtags sincerely would react, given they would have initially seen the hashtags trending without any context.

According to a Variety article, for at least a period, the posts buried pretty much all genuine racist posts in the hashtag - and it looks like they're not going to let up any time soon.
