Guys
I've found a really messed up anti account.
If you're too sensitive, don't look at their tweets… Just report the account.
They're wishing death to the members of 5kz + posting inappropriate content under 5kz related tweets

The individual later changed their Twitter handle in a feeble attempt to avoid getting tracked down.

Fans have also noted that security at the venue is very strict, with security not allowing individuals to bring in any metal items.
for people who have anxiety reading this: security at every entrance has bag checks and metal detectors before entering. they are taking things even as small as waist chains and spiked bracelets. though this threat is serious, please remember that the possibility is very low https://t.co/ew1Inb4jp1
