All high alert after BTS Jimin's death threats.

After a lunatic of some anti-fan BTS idol group has posted serious death threats on social media, there has been high alert and tightened security for the guys especially Jimin.
BTS has been scheduled for their world event in America with its 2017 Live Trilogy Episode III The Wings Tour.


It seems like the main target was against member Jimin and the agency fears for his safety.
This anti-fan has posted on the Twitter account with death threats containing dead bloody animals, hands filled with blood dripping, guns and photos of Jimin on it with messages stating when the boy band member sings, it will be the end of him.


Since then the entire Twitter account has been deleted and blocked off. The management is seriously looking into this matter to protect the safety of the boy band.
It might be a loony joke from a weirdo anti-fan out there however they are taking safety precautions to ensure the members are all safe and sound.

While EXO-L fans are perking up to know when KBS2 will start to broadcast their new drama Andante starring EXO's Kai (Jongin), Park Cheol Min, Lee Ye Hyun, Kim Jin Kyung, Baek Sung Do, Jeon Mi Sun and Kim Gi Soo.

Adante is about a typical city life high school student has been transferred to the rural countryside. He finds it strange and frightening experience especially adapting to new lifestyle. He comes to realize and overcome the true meaning of love and life.
It is a heart warming drama to all.

Kai has been seen donning school uniforms and spotting a simple student look. He has shed off his charismatic sexy looks, glossy clothes when he was on stage with other members. Now what does that remind you of? His school uniform reminds us when the members were wearing it during the promotion of 'Growl' MV and single.


As to when the drama will start airing- it's yet to be determined.
Stay tuned.
