@bts_bighit Thank you so much for the update, it's always appreciated. Can we please have an update on the MULTIPLE de_th threats that taehyung has been receiving and how you plan to move forward with that?
To @BIGHIT_MUSIC@bts_bighit and @HYBEOFFICIALtwt,
Thank you for the 28 September 2026 update on legal proceedings against violations of BTS’s rights. The company’s continued work against defamation, insults, sexual harassment, malicious disparagement, organized false information, and illegal ticket resale is noted and appreciated.
We are writing because the update, as published, does not address the concern many fans have raised in recent days. The alleged public threats of physical harm directed at Kim Taehyung, circulating on overseas platforms and tied in public discussion to the forthcoming Latin American tour dates, including São Paulo.
Those reports, if accurate even in part, fall outside the categories emphasized in this quarter’s notice. Defamation damages reputation. A threat of violence concerns bodily safety, the safety of the other members, staff, and audiences, and the company’s duty of care during a stadium tour. Treating the two as interchangeable leaves a visible gap.
We are not asking the company to litigate unconfirmed social-media claims in public, or to disclose operational security.
We are asking for confirmation that the following has occurred or will occur without delay:
1. Classification. Threats against an artist’s safety should be handled as a distinct category from insult, rumor, and IP infringement. The reporting portal already contemplates this. The public update should reflect that the company recognizes the distinction.
2. Evidence and investigation. Posts that name an artist, imply a time or place connected to scheduled performances, and describe harm should be preserved and investigated. Anonymity on overseas platforms does not remove criminal exposure, as the company itself noted regarding defamation. The same principle should apply more strongly to threats.
3. Tour security coordination. For the Latin American leg, we ask that the company confirm internally and, where appropriate, state in general terms, that venue operators, local promoters, ticketing partners, and relevant law-enforcement agencies have been briefed on heightened risk indicators. Identification and denial of entry for individuals who have published threats, where legally possible, is a reasonable request.
4. Public reassurance without operational detail. Fans do not need a security plan. They need to know the company does not regard this as “fandom noise.” A brief supplemental notice would close the gap this quarterly update left open, that threats of violence are being taken seriously, that reports already filed are under review, and that artist safety on tour is being treated as an operational priority.
5. Equal application. The company’s stated zero-tolerance policy should apply to any person who threatens a member, regardless of the narrative used to justify it. Safety is not a shipping dispute.
We will continue to submit evidence only through the official channel, https://t.co/EdYgnOlznq, and we encourage others to do the same rather than recirculate threatening material.
BTS’s legal protection and BTS’s physical protection are both part of artist rights. This quarter’s notice covered the first.
We ask the company to address the second before the Latin American dates proceed.
Respectfully,
ARMY concerned for Kim Taehyung’s safety

BIGHIT AND HYBE TAKE ACTION
#ProtectTaehyung #ProtectYourArtistV
Dear Taehyung, I think you were born in winter because the universe saved a year’s worth of warmth and put it all into you. WITH TAEHYUNG FOREVER #BorahaeKimTaehyung
Everyone, I need you all to pay close attention and truly understand what I'm saying: what is happening IS NOT A SHIPPER WAR OR A FANDOM DISPUTE 🛑
We are dealing with anti accounts, systematic harassment, and explicit death threats against Taehyung. This is not petty social media drama to be laughed off or brushed aside. THIS IS A CRIME! These are criminal individuals committing severe acts who must be held accountable by law and belong behind bars
Stop downplaying the situation or treating it as mere "internet toxicity"
Treat this matter with the seriousness and urgency it demands. Our sole focus is to protect Kim Taehyung, demand corporate accountability, involve the proper authorities, and make noise until the perpetrators face real legal consequences. Stay focused and zero tolerance for crime
#ProtectTaehyung silence is complicity. The company should already have made it clear to the protagonists that any threats are not acceptable & they would be prosecuted. The silence from both the 🏢 & media is astounding. BORAHAE TAEHYUNG from those who love you 💜
And no one will be able to make me change my mind that all the hatred,defamation & rumours about the two of them is absolutely not the usual war between the two fd, but is studied & planned to block or to heavily discredit them precisely because Taekook is no longer arrestable.
now why am i seeing people praying for midmins safety? i thought my mother in law was bad but wow. midmin now leeching off of ACTUAL dthreats is even new. anyway. happy sunday loves! lol
