Controversial K-Pop Songwriter Apologizes for Racial Rant, Treated for Paranoid Schizophrenia

Songwriter Jenny Hyun who sparked controversy after posting a series of deragatory comments calling for the eradication of African-Americans, issued an apology on her blog.

K-Pop Songwriter’s Racist Tweets Spark Outrage

Jenny Hyun, the co-songwriter behind Girls Generation’s "How Great is Your Love" and Chocolat’s "One More Day" recently sparked controversy with a slew of racist tweets.

On February 16, she posted over a dozen derogatory comments on her Twitter against African-Americans. The fuel for her outrage? A dismissive tweet by boxer Floyd Mayweather about NBA star Jeremy Lin. Hyun stated that Floyd was a "subhuman, ungrateful APE," and then started spreading vitriol about the black community in general. She insinuated that Whitney Houston’s recent passing wasn’t such a loss because she was black, and referred to black people as "disgusting, violent, arrogant, and stupid." Then, in an even more frightening twist, she repeatedly called for the eradication of the entire black race.
