American police are rioting nationwide as protests against police brutality following the the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis continue. Amid this, fans of Korean pop music are logging on to disrupt the online battlespace. The latest volley involves fans posting K-pop videos and various blue animated characters under right-wing such as hashtags #bluelivesmatter, #alllivesmatter, #whitelivesmatter, and #MAGA, flooding them and disrupting the flow of racist and pro-police posts.

Now the K-pop fans have turned their energy and follower counts, normally reserved for stanning, to making popular right-wing hashtags unusable. As first spotted by The Verge, K-pop fans have started posting memes en masse, and fan-cams are hitting Instagram and Twitter hard to out-post right-wing influencers. It’s working.
