Honestly, there must be a lot of people who don’t support me and don’t like me and want to belittle me…and people who want to kill me. There must be a lot of people who hate me. But so what? I don’t care.
— Jungkook
Fans were furious that K-Media failed to talk about this matter and were only focus on his drinking and smoking habits.
the fact that NONE of the k-armys, k-netz or k-media ever talked about Jungkook getting d3@th threats says a LOT about the disgusting fan culture in that country and how normalized it must be for them
FUCK EVERYBODY YALL CAN GO TO HELL FREE HIM FROM YALL pic.twitter.com/fI8MVBBs6D

kmedia choosing to cover the idol smoking and drinking on live but not the fact that he said there are people who want to k*** him meaning he is getting death threats explains pretty much enough about the fucked up kpop industry and its community. this is making me sick. pic.twitter.com/GmqVWhcor5
