According to a television report of August 20, the man was booked on charges of public intimidation after modifying the official promotional poster for the Encore concert of the Plave tour World, adding a threatening message: “I will plant explosives in Gocheok Dome.”
The modified image was loaded on his personal social media account, arousing immediate concern. The concert in question is scheduled for 21 and 22 November at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Guro-Gui, Seoul, one of the greatest locations of the Korean concert. The authorities acted quickly after receiving the report, tracing the residence of the suspicion to Jeonju, in the province of Jeolla del Nord and locating it within two hours.
During the police interrogation, according to what reported, he rejected the threat as a joke, affirming: “It was just a joke.” However, law enforcement officials are dealing with the accident with full seriousness. A police spokesman underlined the potential danger and the widespread fear that these threats can incite, especially in a recent peak of threats of bombs that aim for public locations crowded as department stores, themed parks and concert halls.
At the beginning of this month, a similar threat delayed concerts a Ksp Dome (Olympic Gymnastics Arena)influencing the performance of The boy AND 10 cm. While that report was ultimately declared false, it highlighted the growing trend of harmful buffaloes that interrupt public events and endanger public safety.
BlueA group of virtual k-pop idol has quickly gained traction in the music sector with a large base of innovative fans and digital performances. The group’s World Tour Encore is very anticipated and the authorities are expected to implement an increase in safety measures in light of this recent threat.
While the investigations continue, the officials urge the public to seriously treat all threats and remind citizens that these actions – regardless of the intention – bring the legal consequences and are Not a joking question.
