Billboard Leaves Out Only Korean Member in Social Media Post, Sparking Racism Controversy

Billboard has sparked a racism controversy after omitting the photo of the Korean member when posting pictures of KATSEYE, a multinational girl group formed by HYBE and Geffen Records, on its social media.

Recently, Billboard uploaded a post on social media introducing KATSEYE's new song "ANI".

While the post included a group photo and individual photos of the members, the photo of Korean member Yoonchae was missing, prompting backlash from fans.

Amid the controversy, Billboard deleted all the individual member photos.

Back in May, Billboard also omitted only Yoonchae's photo when sharing selfies of the KATSEYE members, leading to continued criticism from fans.
