Jamaica Did Not Ban K-Pop

Several social media platforms have recently been reposting a meme that claims, “Jamaica Becomes The First Country To Make K-Pop Illegal.” The top half of the meme shows a picture of BTS, a popular K-Pop boy band, and the bottom half shows a “Carefully he’s a hero” meme template with the Jamaican flag over Spiderman’s face. This supposed news came as a relief for some, and disappointment for others. One user wondered if the motivation was caused by "racism or due to shitty music.”
