[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dong-hyun] The group BTS has raised their voice against racial discrimination. It appears to be an intention to send a message regarding the ongoing hate crimes targeting Asians in the United States.

On the 30th, BTS posted on their official Twitter with the hashtag "STOP ASIAN HATE," expressing, "We offer our condolences to those who have lost beloved family members," and added, "We feel sincere anger along with sadness."

BTS continued, "We have memories of being discriminated against simply because we are Asian," saying, "We have been verbally abused and had our appearances disparaged for no reason while walking down the street, and we were even asked why Asians speak English."

They then revealed, "Our experiences are very minor compared to what is happening right now," but admitted, "However, the things we went through made us shrink back and sometimes took away our self-esteem."

BTS also emphasized, "Being the target of hatred and violence simply because of a different race must be a pain beyond what we can express," and stressed, "What is happening now cannot be separated from our identity as Asians."

They added, "In fact, it took a lot of thought to bring up these stories and to decide how to convey our voices," but emphasized, "In the end, the message we must deliver is clear."

Finally, BTS concluded, "We oppose racial discrimination. We oppose violence," and stated, "You, me, all of us have the right to be respected. We will stand together."
