The surprising chaotic good energy K-Pop fans are bringing to the George Floyd protests continued last night into this morning, as netizens overwhelmed #WhiteLivesMatter, and to a lesser extent #BlueLivesMatter and #WhiteOutWedensday, with their most potent social media weapon: fancams.

#WhiteLivesMatter began trending on Twitter this morning, but as users investigated to see why, they were surprised to see a swath of K-Pop stans advocating for their favorite idols and groups. The movement, allegedly started by Anonymous' "K-Pop division," was welcomed by many on the platform.

Twitter users who usually can't stand the fancam spam were thrilled to see hashtag overrun.

In addition to this morning's takeover of #WhiteLivesMatter, K-Pop stans have also refrained from promoting their favorite idols with their usual hashtags and overwhelmed a Dallas Police Department mobile app that was asking for videos of protestors with fancam videos.
