BTS Receive Death Threats Before Anaheim Concert

K-pop phenoms BTS are in the midst of a five-concert North American leg of their Live Trilogy Episode III: The Wings Tour. A disturbing development has come in the form of death threats, leading the seven-piece to beef up security and solicit Anaheim, Calif. police for assistance before their April 1 and 2 gigs.

The Hollywood Reporter writes that a now-suspended Twitter user sent hyper-specific threats about shooting BTS member Jimin in the head "from [the] rafters, with seats specified, while he performs the number 'Lies' at the Anaheim Honda Center." The magazine adds that the account shared "photos of a dead pig, guns and other bloody images." 

BTS label/management company Big Hit Entertainment told Soompi, “We believe that it is a joke by an anti-fan. But just to be sure we are taking measures. We are working with the local staff and police to enhance the security.”
