PremiumJungkook is also the youngest member of the BTS band.
Jungkook, the main vocalist of the internationally renowned K-pop group BTS, has allegedly received death threats after addressing a fan's inappropriate action of sending food to his residence during a V-Live session.
The talented singer, known for his hit song "Euphoria," emphasized the significance of respecting privacy and personal boundaries. While appreciating the gesture, he made it clear that he would not consume the food and warned that legal action would be taken if such incidents were repeated.
In a surprising and alarming development, it has come to light that the fan who previously sent food to Jungkook has now escalated their actions to sending him death threats.
A fan page dedicated to Jungkook, called JK Daily, shared screenshots of the death threats made by this obsessed fan and urged HYBE, the agency representing BTS, to take necessary measures to ensure the safety of their artist. The screenshots depict the fan making statements such as, "Do you think I can't harm him? I knew his address and managed to send him food..."
His WeVerse post, translated by a fan read, “His post was translated by Twitter user @BTStranslation and read, “Please don't send food delivery to my house. Even if you send it, I won't eat it. I'm thankful for the thought, but since I eat well by myself, you (the sender) can buy and eat it. I'm requesting. If it's sent one more time, I'll inquire about the order number on the receipt and take measures. Therefore, please stop heh."
Jungkook achieved a significant career milestone as his collaboration with Charlie Puth, the song 'Left and Right,' surpassed 600 million streams on the popular music streaming platform Spotify.
His accomplishment marks Jungkook as the first K-pop soloist to reach this milestone. Additionally, the success of the song has propelled Jungkook's total streams to over 1.1 billion, establishing him as the first K-pop solo artist to achieve this feat.
