BTS Jungkook is one of the most adored and popular singers in the K-pop industry enjoying a massive fan following and is the lead vocalist of BTS. The singer recently received death threats, where the BTS Army fiercely demanded protection for their Golden Maknae.

According to a report of India TV News, a recent post on WeVerse by Jungkook was translated by a Twitter user which read, "Please don't send food delivery to my house. Even if you send it, I won't eat it. I'm thankful for the thought, but since I eat well by myself, you (the sender) can buy and eat it. I'm requesting. If it's sent one more time, I'll inquire about the order number on the receipt and take measures. Therefore, please stop heh."

As BTS Jungkook refused to consume the food sent to him by his fans, the latter also warned his fans that he would take strict action if the process continues. According to the report, one fan was enraged by this and sent him death threats leaving the BTS Army enraged and disheartened by the lack of security and action from the company handling the group.

Many fans urged BigHit to take action against the accused Instagram account and demanded security for the musician via their tweets. One user wrote, "They need to know for them to take necessary precautions at all costs. We don't even know if Bighit is reading emails. This is a serious matter that they need to be aware of. It's their safety that is at stake."

Another user wrote, "Protect Jungkook and ensure his safety as death threats had been made against him by an account claiming that they have access to his home address as they are the one that SENT HIM FOOD. His safety is of utmost priority. TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY!!!! @HYBEOFFICIALtwt @BIGHIT_MUSIC @bts_bighit #PROTECTJUNGKOOK BIGHIT PROTECT JUNGKOOK HYBE PROTECT YOUR ARTIST."

Jungkook recently hit a career milestone as his song 'Left and Right' with Charlie Puth crossed the 600 million mark on the music streaming platform Spotify, making the singer the first K-pop soloist to achieve this milestone.

With the success of his song, the singer crossed 1.1 billion streams, becoming the first K-pop solo artist to do so.
