K-Pop Songwriter goes on racist Twitter tirade, admitted to hospital for schizophrenia

by Aaron Zorgel

On February 16th, Jenny Hyun, a former singer and current K-Pop songwriter, took to Twitter to lash out against a tweet written by boxer Floyd Mayweather. The tweet in question?

 

The deluge of hate that follows isn’t pretty. In short, Hyun goes on to promote the notion of a BLACK HOLOCAUST.

I was going to make a tasteless joke about Linsanity, but I don’t think Jeremy Lin needs his named attached to this mess. Here are the Tweets, in all of their violently ignorant glory:

I feel like I need to take a shower now. What kind of vile, disgusting music could someone like this possible write? Let’s find out.

Here’s an English translation of the chorus: “When I hear the sound of spring coming, I walk on the path with the bloomed flowers. When the rainy summer comes, I walk as I see the rainbow. When Autumn passes and Winter comes from our hands, with the warmth we walk together. How great is your love.”

Based on that, yeah, she’s a real sick puppy.

On February 19th, there was a post on Jenny’s official blog stating “Jenny Hyun has been admitted to a hospital today. She is a paranoid schizophrenic and has been battling mental illness, a debilitating disease for many years. Friends and family of Jenny want to extend their sincere apology for any harmful statements made verbally or via the web that Jenny has made while she was in the height of a psyshosis episode. We appreciate your understanding during this difficult time for her.”

Here’s hoping that this is legit, and that Jenny is seeking help, because her hateful diatribe has done enough damage already.
