BTS and Big Hit Entertainment has donated $1 million to the Black Lives Matter Movement.

Korean pop&nbsp;celebrities and fans have stepped up to express their&nbsp;solidarity over the #BlackLivesMatter movement, with many stepping up to donate to the cause. This follows the death of African American George Floyd from a police officer in the United States last month, which has since caught on from the United States&nbsp;to around the world.

From BTS to Chaelin, here are the K-pop artists who have stepped up in support for the cause.

BTS and Big Hit Entertainment&nbsp;

The popular Korean boyband and its Korean record label, Big Hit Entertainment,&nbsp;have donated $1 million to Black Lives Matter.&nbsp;

&quot;We stand against racial discrimination. We condemn violence. You, I and we all have the right to be respected. We will stand together,&quot; the band wrote on its official Twitter account, with the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter on June 4.

And never doubt the power of K-pop fans. Previously, they took over the #WhiteLivesMatter hashtag on Twitter,&nbsp;to drown out racist sentiments. Now, the BTS army, the official fan group of BTS,&nbsp;have banded together to match the donation amount to Black Lives Matter.&nbsp;They reached their #MatchAMillion Goal, <a href="https://twitter.com/OneInAnARMY/status/1269793116023926786">with donations surpassing $1 million just today</a> which will help funds for bailouts, black-led advocacy organisations, and support for physical and mental health of the community.
