A man in his 20s was arrested for threatening to Kill 9 SM Entertainment employees.
On August 11, police revealed that they had arrested a 28-year-old man for making threats and obstruction. The man is said to have posted his death threats on a controversial online community, saying he would murder 9 of the label’s employees.
According to reports, the man had liked a girl group member for the past 17 years. The man is said to have told police that he private messaged her several times but grew angry when she didn’t respond and impulsively wrote the death threats.

The suspect said that he had tried to get close to the idol on several occasions, but when she didn’t respond, he became angry. The suspect had set a D-Day on which to go through with his threats as well as planning out what he would write in his threat and detailed several scenarios, including how to respond to police.
