Big Hit Entertainment is taking steps to strengthen security for Jimin of BTS, following a death threat via social media, the agency said Wednesday.

“It seems the death threat comes from an anti-fan. We will tighten the security of the concert hall with the cooperation of local police,” the agency said.

On Sunday a Twitter user posted several tweets hinting at a shooting aimed at Jimin. with photos of seating plans of the concert hall, guns and a hand covered with blood.

“Im ready for the concert in California,” the user wrote. “My place is rather discreet for the concert, my gun in my bag and when Jimin will sing Lie. Boom he will die !!”

The account has since been blocked.

BTS will hold concerts in Anaheim, California, on April 1 and 2 as part of its “2017 BTS Live Trilogy Episode III the Wings Tour.”
