BTS’s J-Hope Faces Backlash Over Recent Instagram Post
BTS’s J-Hope is facing backlash over his recent Instagram post.
The controversy began after J-Hope attended the opening of the new Human Made store in Apgujeong. He shared photos on Instagram with NIGO and Pharrell.
Soon after, people hit back hard because Pharrell is criticized for his views on Israel amid the Gaza conflict. Pharrell has been linked to raising over $60 million for Israel’s military, which sparked outrage.
People are demanding idols avoid Pharrell to stand against violence.
Dear #JHOPE @BTS_twt
Pls don’t work with Pharrell William, advisor of Human Made, who has raised over $60M for Israel Occupation Force to murder Palestinian children.
We love you and need you to stand with humanity. Pls pay heed to @BDSmovement #SpeakYourselfBTS
