Jimin, the vocalist of the South Korean septet, was threatened by an Instagram fan account of fellow BTS members Jeon Jung-Kook and Kim Tae-Hyung aka V. The story was shared by the account with the username ‘vkookv_123’.
Ahead of the much-anticipated Busan concert of the global sensation, the account shared a picture of guns followed by the warning statement for the ‘Filter’ singer. The person wrote, “When you go to the concert, I hope you hurt Jimin or his father.”
“I promise I’ll kill him,” the statement read further, as the OP alleged Jimin to be an ‘obstacle’ between Jungkook and V.
“Please kill him, I will try to shoot him. Tell all the Taekookers, I will kill him.”
The screengrab of the story was shared on the micro-blogging site and the BTS ARMY on Twitter reacted to the ‘non-existing ship’, slamming the toxic shippers among the fandom.
“It’s genuinely, genuinely, so so concerning that Jimin and his family are getting death threats on a public social media platform and being posted to their 7K followers audience that they will hurt him and his family all for what?? a non-existing ship they fantasise about,” read a tweet on the matter.
Another BTS ARMY wrote, “This is crazy, and big hit is giving more importance to a rumor, I mean, ofc tae situation is bad, but here we’re talking about death threats not only towards a member but also his whole family.”
According to an international survey, South Korean boy band’s member RM was chosen as the world’s most handsome man over Henry Cavill, Nick Jonas and Hrithik Roshan.
RM leads the biggest boy band in K-pop history, and gave many hits like Butter, Life Goes On, and many more.
According to the TC Candler platform in a survey given out by them, BTS’ RM aka Kim Nam-Joon was selected to be the world’s most handsome man, beating Superman fame Henry Cavill to come in second on the list. The list also included soccer veteran David Beckham.
After the South Korean boy band’s first day of the BTS PTD concert in Las Vegas, Kim Nam-Joon interacted with fans on V Live. RM spoke about marriage, having children and dyeing his hair. He also got candid about the Grammy and having haters.
During the V Live session, when a fan asked RM when he wanted to get married, the singer replied, “Oh… I don’t know.” But when quizzed about having children, the BTS leader said, “How many kids I’d like to have? I used to want to have kids so bad but now… not so much. When I think about a kid who’s like me since I was not a very nice kid to my mom so I don’t like that idea.”
While talking about the South Korean boy band having haters, RM said (as translated by Twitter user @modooborahae), “We’ve always had haters. It could be our fault but a lot of times it’s not our fault. There were always haters. All teams have their haters.” The BTS leader added, “There’s also a positive thing about having haters here in the US since it means we’re mainstream.”
During the interaction with the ARMY, RM also opened up growing his hair long and dyeing it. He said, “Later on when I want to grow my hair long and dye it a dark colour.. one day when I have the patience, I’d like to do that.”
The BTS rapper also spoke about getting a tattoo, saying, “I used to plan to have one and I actually had a sketch but I cancelled it because I was afraid. Because I’m kinda ‘in a rush’ guy, I get sick of something really fast so if I have a tattoo, I was afraid I would be sick of it. I’m still open tho!”
Fresh off the rumour mill is that BTS member Jimin is dating South Korean actress Song Da Eun. In the past, other members of the K-pop group have been under the limelight over similar rumours. Kim Taehyung, aka V, was said to be in a relationship with Blackpink’s Jennie.
Not only him but even Jungkook was speculated to be dating Blackpink’s Lisa. Every once in a while, the singers are linked to someone, and mostly all the rumours turn out to be nothing more than that. This is why the ARMY is not believing the latest speculations around Mochi and the Once Again actress.
The rumours began after someone anonymously alleged that Jimin and Song Da Eun are in a relationship. It was based on the matching accessories they wore, coincidentally timed Instagram Stories, and even attending the same events at the same time. It caught the attention of several BTS ARMY members, but many of them don’t think it’s true.

The agency official said, “According to Allegiant Stadium, BTS has been the one and only music act that has performed solo concerts at the venue four times in a row and attracted 200,000 people through four sessions of the show.
“Permission to Dance on Stage” series was first launched in October last year in Seoul, Korea through Livestream. Then, they later performed in Los Angeles in November/December and then in Seoul in March 2022. BTS wrapped the concert series in Las Vegas this month.
Korean pop group, BTS has recently performed their concert, Permission To Dance in Las Vegas, The United States (US). The group had attended a press conference at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
While responding to a question during the press conference, BTS member Jin said: “I talked a lot with the company and entrusted all military service-related tasks with the company.”
Q about the issue of military enlistment: I talked a lot with the company and entrusted all military service-related tasks with the company. I think what we said at the company will soon be our words.*
Their agency HYBE CCO, Lee Jin Hyung also addressed the concerns related to BTS mandatory military service, “The BTS members have currently left the matter of their military service in the hands of the company. BTS has already conveyed the message multiple times that they will accept the call of duty whenever the nation calls them, and they have not changed this opinion. However, the policy on military service has changed a little, and as the members are experiencing changes to the Military Service Act that they did not expect, they are currently monitoring the situation while discussing the matter with the company.”
It is to be noted that South Korea has set the threshold of maximum age limit for a man to get enrolled for mandatory service at 28 years. However, according to a new amendment to a law that was passed in December 2020 was dubbed as “BTS military service amendment”. This law allows artists who receive recognition from the government could delay their military enlistment till they are 30 years old. The changes were done because of the group’s contribution to the economy during the pandemic.
Jin will turn 30 years this year in December so he has to enlist before the end of the year 2022. However, some members proposed a bill in the Korean National Assembly to exempt BTS from mandatory military enlistment on the account of their contribution to the South Korean economy. Currently, this bill is under debate in the National Assembly and has not reached a final agreement on the bill.
CCO further added, “To put it precisely, the policy on military service is changing, and it’s true that the BTS members are having a hard time because it’s difficult for them to predict the timing [of their military service]. Since it’s difficult for them to make plans, both the BTS members and the company are currently keeping a close eye on the proposed amendment.”
In South Korea, every mature man between 18 and 28 age is required to fulfill their military enlistment for about 2 years. Those people who cannot enlist in mandatory military service on the basis of health issues, personal, and religious beliefs can enroll in alternatives such as public service workers.
