Jungkook Death Threat
BTS fans were alarmed on Sunday, May 14 by screenshots that circulated on Twitter. These screenshots were taken from a Sasaeng Instagram account that contained violent and disturbing death threats against BTS’ Jungkook.
Fans were concerned and tagged HYBE, BIGHIT MUSIC to urge them to increase security around Euphoria’s beloved singer. Sasaeng’s fan claimed to have Jungkook’s address. This escalated the severity of the situation.
They claimed that they sent food before to the youngest BTS, but that he had rudely refused it. As the threat to Jungkook became more apparent, these claims increased the anxiety among BTS fans.
Jungkook recently addressed the issue in a post on Weverse by asking that those who had sent him food deliveries stop doing so. He thanked the person who sent him food, but made it clear that he did not want to receive any more. He also stated that he will take the appropriate action if he receives any more unsolicited food.
Uncertainty remains as to whether the Sasaeng supporter behind the death threat is the same person who claimed to have Jungkook’s address. The threatening nature and mention of personal details have nevertheless caused anxiety and concern among ARMY fans.
Fans hope for more security measures to ensure Jungkook’s safety and well-being.
