GOT7's Mark Makes Donation To George Floyd's Memorial Fund

May 31, 2020

GOT7’s Mark has joined celebrities all over the world in donating to support the Black Lives Matter movement.

Black Lives Matter is an activist movement that campaigns for an end to violence and systemic racism towards the black community, including police brutality and killings of black people. Last week, outrage was sparked once again by the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man, after he was pinned to the ground by a white police officer in Minneapolis. In response, protests have spread all across the United States and other countries around the world.

On May 31, Mark shared a screenshot of a $7,000 donation he had made to the Official George Floyd Memorial Fund on GoFunMe. The fundraiser is run by George Floyd’s brother, Philonise Floyd, and the funds will go to George Floyd’s estate for the benefit, care, and education of his children.

Other artists in South Korea who have publicly supported the Black Lives Matter movement include Crush, DAY6’s Jae, rapper pH-1, Jay Park, Tiger JK, and f(x)’s Amber.
