On February 3, 2025, the hashtag "#BighitProtectBeomgyu" recently surged on X, reflecting fans' concern over threats directed at TXT's Beomgyu.
These alarming messages, discovered on the fan platform Weverse, prompted a widespread call for enhanced security measures from BigHit Music, TOMORROW X TOGETHER's (TXT) management company.
Fans reported encountering graphic and disturbing messages on Weverse, where users allegedly detailed intentions of violence against Beomgyu. The explicit nature of these messages has heightened alarm within the fan community.
In response to these threats, fans mobilized on social media, using the hashtag "#BighitProtectBeomgyu" to demand immediate action from BigHit Music. They are urging the company to investigate the origins of these threats and to implement stringent security measures to ensure Beomgyu's safety.
This incident is not isolated within the K-pop industry. Previously, members of other prominent groups have been subjected to similar threats. For instance, in July 2022, TXT members Beomgyu and Hueningkai received death threats on Weverse.
The threat was supposed to take place during TXT's US concert 2022 TOMORROW X TOGETHER WORLD TOUR <ACT : LOVE SICK> tour.
However, fans highlighted challenges in monitoring and regulating user-generated content on Weverse. As of now, BigHit Music has not released an official statement regarding the threats against Beomgyu.
Fans are calling for the company to address the situation promptly, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding their artists.
