BTS’s Jungkook Confesses To Death Threats, Sparks Massive Fury

Recently, BTS’s Jungkook went viral for his now-deleted drunk live broadcast controversy.

He also garnered major backlash for publicly speaking out about smoking.

Although the live has now been deleted, a video clip from the live stream has garnered much attention online.

Honestly, there must be a lot of people who don’t support me and don’t like me and want to belittle me…and people who want to kill me. There must be a lot of people who hate me. But so what? I don’t care.

Fans were furious that K-Media failed to talk about this matter and were only focus on his drinking and smoking habits.

the fact that NONE of the k-armys, k-netz or k-media ever talked about Jungkook getting d3@th threats says a LOT about the disgusting fan culture in that country and how normalized it must be for them

kmedia choosing to cover the idol smoking and drinking on live but not the fact that he said there are people who want to k*** him meaning he is getting death threats explains pretty much enough about the fucked up kpop industry and its community. this is making me sick. pic.twitter.com/GmqVWhcor5
