(★BREAKING) Dallas Police shut down threats to BTS Jimin for Texas concert
BTS’s Jimin is once again on the receiving end of death threats in the United States. An anonymous user posted a very specific message claiming they would attack Jimin during BTS’s concert in Fort Worth, Texas in September.
After seeing the disturbing message, a concern fan tweeted at the city’s official Twitter account, hoping authorities would take action.
