DR Music Entertainment home of Girl Group Black Swan, and K-Tigers Zero made a comment about Black Lives Matters. In the full article former BP Rania member Alex Reid commented followed by Yoon Youngjin of DR Music Entertainment.
“It feels like if you cared about the diversity, then I would hope that you would take a stand at this time,” she said.
Philip YJ Yoon, executive director of DR Music Entertainment, acknowledged the challenges for Reid and other Black artists trying to break into K-pop and said he supported the Black Lives Matter movement.
“I can see online there are some people who call our company a racist company. If we were a whole bunch of racists, we would never hold auditions for foreign trainees. Also, I don’t think foreign trainees would dare to try joining our company,” said Yoon, who is reintroducing Reid’s former group BP Rania as Black Pearl with Senegalese singer Fatou Samba. “We have had difficulties, but we know our company is one of a few companies that can do this because we are very open to cultural differences and put most effort to fix any problems.”

“If we were a whole bunch of racists, we would never hold auditions for foreign trainees. Also, I don’t think foreign trainees would dare to try joining our company,” this is sounds like the equivalent of “I’m not racist, I have a black friend” DrMusic is clearly using foreigners to get clout for his groups meanwhile his shitty management still exists smh
