BTS V and Jimin
Global music icons BTS recently sparked serious safety concerns after unsettling incidents involving members Kim Taehyung, also known as V, and Jimin during their overseas travel and return to South Korea. The developments have prompted widespread discussion among fans about artist protection and security preparedness.
The situation reportedly began in Lisbon, Portugal, where the group was believed to be present for upcoming promotional activities. Online conversations intensified after screenshots circulated on fan platforms showing disturbing messages allegedly sent by an individual who threatened harm toward V. The messages included violent language and claims that the person was waiting near the hotel where the members were staying. These posts quickly alarmed the BTS fan community, ARMY, with many urging the group’s agency to take immediate action and coordinate with local authorities to prevent any potential danger. Fans stressed that such behavior crossed the boundary of normal fandom and raised legitimate security risks for the artist.
