Sungyeon, singer-songwriter and former member of Pristin, as well as member Denise had posted in support of #BlackoutTuesday or #BlackLivesMatter but those posts have now been deleted—with Denise's account down entirely with no explanation.

This reminds me of when K-pop stars posted tributes after the Orlando nightclub shooting in 2016 which killed almost 50 people that were predominantly LGBT and Latinx. All posts from stars that had rainbow colors were taken down and more general statements were placed instead.
I didn't see a lot of discussion then, but I wrote about what I was seeing for Fuse and the trends between the posts that were taken down and which stayed.
Just like now, I wonder why messages supporting other humans would be taken down?

I remember that. G dragon posted for lgbt support, then deleted and post another one without colors. It had a big echo. That reminds me, in a positive context this time, when CL posted abt Taiwan being the 1st in Asia for LGBT marriage...but it's out of topic sorry
