BTS: Jimin gets death threats from a Kim Taehyung-Jungkook stan; ARMYs slam the toxic shippers [view tweets]
BTS members RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook have been busy with their personal schedules. Their Fans, known as BTS ARMY, are very protective of each member. Talking about BTS ARMY, there are some who ship only one while there are some who ship OT7 and there are also some who love shipping two of the idols together. And out of all the ships, one of the most popular ones is called Taekook Taehyung and Jungkook's fans. And amongst them, there are a few who have been shading other BTS members and most prominently, it's been BTS' Park Jimin aka Jimin.
Hollywood News: BTS' Jimin gets death threat
For a couple of hours now, BTS ARMY and Jimin stans have been getting furious over an account posting, or rather giving death threats of the Run BTS, Yet To Come singer. The BTS ARMY has been reporting the account which gave the death threat to Jimin. The handle went by the name vkookv_123 and it posted that he/she hoped that ARMY hurt Jimin when they went to the concert (Yet To Come). He called Jimin an obstacle and also alleged that Jungkook doesn't like Jimin and likes Taehyung. "I will try to shoot him," the Instagram story post made by vkookv_123 had posted online. While the ARMYs reported the account, it seems the owner made another account.
BTS ARMY asks for the protection of Jimin
While the ARMYs know that HYBE has been taking action against such posts and accounts, they are baffled by the continuous threats. #ProtectJimin has been trending online for a while now. ARMY has been slamming the toxic Taekook stans who have been threatening Jimin and other Bangtan Boys. Check out the tweets here:

Please report everything you see. Threats are not tolerated and those making them will be prosecuted.
This is straight from Hybe:
