[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Singer Tiffany Young protested against racial discrimination occurring in the United States.

On the 2nd, Tiffany Young posted a black image on her Instagram with the caption "Black lives matter."

She also shared a fundraising link, stating that she is planning donations for the Black community and encouraged many to participate.

The "Black lives matter" hashtag movement was triggered by the death of Black man George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, on the 25th of last month (local time). Since the incident, it has spread on social networking services (SNS) mainly among those angered by racial discrimination.

This incident sparked outrage as a white police officer in the U.S. pressed his knee on George Floyd's neck during the arrest, causing his death. After the video of the incident was released, many citizens took to the streets.

Protesters began their movement with the slogan "BLACK LIVES MATTER," opposing violence against African Americans and systemic racism.

In addition to Tiffany Young, many stars such as Eric Nam, Tiger JK, and Park Jun-hyung expressed their opposition to racial discrimination.
