⛔️Death threats against a performing artist are a criminal matter, not fan discourse. TikTok posts from @kingjj.kingpj and related accounts have published a countdown aimed at Kim Taehyung, stated that someone “will not make it out of Latin America alive,” identified Brazil as the “last destination,” instructed others to “stick to the plan,” and claimed “no one will know who it was.” The same posts invoke Yeontan and Grandma Kim and present harm to Taehyung as something Jimin and Jungkook would later be “grateful” for. This is NOT shipping. IT IS A PUBLIC THREAT OF VIOLENCE against an identified person in connection with upcoming tour dates. It also endangers other members, staff, and concertgoers. @HYBEOFFICIALtwt @BIGHIT_MUSIC @bts_bighit We request immediate action: 1. Preserve and investigate these TikTok posts under the category of threats to an artist’s safety. 2. Pursue legal action against the accounts responsible. 3. Increase security for Kim Taehyung and all members for the Latin America and Brazil dates. 4. Coordinate with venues, ticketing partners, and local authorities so individuals who post violent plans while holding tickets can be identified and denied entry. Armys & Taehyung fans: report the original posts on TikTok and submit evidence through HYBE’s official Artist Rights Violation portal, using the “Threats to Artist’s Safety” category: protect.hybecorp.com Do not stitch, duet, or recirculate the threat videos. Document, report, and stop. PROTECT TAEHYUNG PROTECT YOUR ARTIST BIGHIT AND HYBE TAKE ACTION #ProtectTaehyung #ProtectYourArtist
