On 13th July a stay at the concert of the famous boy band Stray Kids was shot. Of course, many of you reading this article are wondering why.
Most of you will know (especially Stays) that Stray Kids have a lot of haters (They are the most hated K-Pop group and Felix and Bang Chan are the most hated K-pop idols). On Friday evening July 10th a very scary message was sent from a hate Twitter account. Many Stays were worried because this hater had confronted Stray Kids with death threats before. The same thing happened to the K-pop boy band TXT, but it didn’t result in a fatal attack there. Stays had relayed the message to Stray Kids (JYP Entertainment) agency. But what exactly did the hater write that Stays acted like this?
The Twitter account (@iloveflopkidz) had previously posted messages like “I’ll kill Changbin” or “Felix has no talent he should end up like Joonhyun” ( Joonhyun was a K-pop idol who died of suicide) and much more. Stays weren’t as concerned when the news broke on July 10th. Because the account had written: “I’m going to the Stray Kids Oakland concert and kill all of the Stray Kids members.” Stays then immediately forwarded this message to JYP Entertainment and the police and FBI were then involved. Stays were glad Stray Kids are safe now because as said the police and FBI were involved.
We had also interviewed a stay who was at the concert. First we had asked her how the entrance worked. “The entrance was different than usual. The police stood in front of the entrance and checked everyone. They had such a device and us
ed it to scan everyone and controlled our backpacks. I can’t remember the name of the device, but you probably know what I’m talking about. Then I went in and after an hour and a half the concert started, so at 4 p.m I was very happy even though it took a long time to check. I was in the front row and that made me even more excited. The best part was when Hyunjin noticed me and even greeted me. I thought I was dreaming and got tears of joy and thought to myself: This is the best night of my life!!! Everyone was dancing, Stray Kids were interacting with the fans and everyone was just in the best mood until a shot was heard. People started to scream and saw blood. Everyone ran out of the concert hall scared for their lives. Unfortunately I didn’t see what Stray Kids did. I only heard when the shot was fired. Then Felix started to scream: Run for your lives! Everyone out of here immediately!!!! This made most people panic even more. Stray Kids probably ran out too, but like I said, I don’t know. The police immediately arrested the perpetrator.”
Luckily nothing happened to Stray Kids and the other people. We fell sorry for the stay and the people who experienced this.
