Earlier this week, Kim responded to the outbreak of racist acts against Asian-Americans during the coronavirus outbreak.

"People have been asking me why I've been silent in the face of the blatant acts of racism against Asian people during this outbreak," Kim wrote on Sunday.

It should go without saying how abhorrent and subhuman this behavior is. Unfortunately in this political climate, it still requires mentioning."
