No Justice No Peace

In this episode of Not Your Average Netizens, we tackle a topic we normally do not shy away from: racism. Specifically, the value of Black lives in the K-pop sphere and society as a whole. We at NYAN consider ourselves a Black podcast, and thus, it was imperative that we address the issues that have recently plagued our country. We found it important to not only discuss racism and prejudice permeate the K-pop industry but how it affects us as well. We hope that this episode is able to provide you with something: a sense of release, a desire to learn, motivation to support Black Lives Matter, or hope. We're all in this together, and sometimes if we just listen to one another we'll realize we are more alike then different. Stay safe and keep up the good fight.
