J-Hope has publicly displayed a figurine in support of 'Black Lives Matter'. 

On July 6 KST, the BTS member posted several images on Twitter, one of which was a shot of a 'TAKE' companion figurine released by artist KAWS in support of the 'BLM' movement. A portion of the sales will proceed to 'Black Lives Matter' organizations including 'Color of Change', with the goal amount of 250,000 USD. 

After J-Hope posted the photo, the hashtag '#hobi' trended worldwide on Twitter, as masses of fans supported the idol's socially relevant gesture. 

In the original post, J-Hope included images of himself wearing a 'VETEMENTS' t-shirt, as well as a limited edition tea pot also by KAWS.

This guy really cares about what he's doing, different from certain groups who only care about PR and virtue signaling...
