In June 2020, Red's social media outcry over the under-compensation for her contribution to the K-pop hit "Boss" by NCT sparked a movement.[7] Her activism led to the establishment of The 100 Percenters,[8] a non-profit organization advocating for music creatives, especially those from BIPOC and marginalized communities. Her vocal advocacy garnered attention from notable media outlets like Billboard,[9] Variety,[10] Forbes,[11] and Rolling Stone.[12] She also received support from entities like Sony Music Publishing[13] and the YouTube Black Voices Fund.[14]
