Korean media outlet SPOTV News reported on August 11 that SM Entertainment had suffered multiple death threats due to the popularity of its artists. And these death threats happened not only to aespa Winter and SM Entertainment artists but also to the company’s ordinary employees.

So, what really happened behind this series of death threats against SM Entertainment artists and employees?

A Man Arrested for Meticulously Planning to Kill SM Entertainment Artists and Employees

According to SPOTV News and Chosun Ilbo, the Gyeonggi Hanam Police had arrested a 28-year-old male perpetrator. This man had posted a series of death threats against multiple artists, employees, to even executives of SM Entertainment agency.

Previously in the afternoon of August 8, the 28-year-old man posted death threats on the South Korean online community, DC Inside. In the post, the OP (original poster) declared that he would select 9 SM Entertainment employees at Seoul Forest Station and kill them.

The police even reported that the perpetrator had created a specific and thorough plan to commit the crime. And they found out about the plan’s details after confiscating and thoroughly searching the man’s cellphone contents. The plan included setting up the crime on D-Day, how to execute the crime in detail, how to write threatening letters, and even how to respond to the police.

Due to the severity of the crime and lack of credibility in the reasons, the police immediately arrested the perpetrator.

The Complete Reason Behind Death Threats Against SM Entertainment

The report further revealed the perpetrator’s motive behind the threats to aespa Winter and SM Entertainment employees.

In the report, the police stated that the reason behind these death threats and crimes was that a member of SM Entertainment girl group whom he had liked for almost 10 years did not accept his heart.

In his statement to the police, the man revealed that he had admired an SM girl group member for a decade. One day, he sent a message, conveying his feelings to member B of the group through social media DM. However, there was no response from the girl group member, even after he sent the message several times.

The man grew angry at the member. He then impulsively wrote death threats against SM Entertainment artists and employees.

Still, the police didn’t believe his reasoning. After all, the meticulous planning and detailed arrangement of his crime proved his ‘impulsive anger’ unreliable. Moreover, the man—living off part-time jobs—had been taking medicines for mental illness.

Therefore, the police arrested the 28-year-old man under intimidation and hierarchical obstruction of public affairs charges.

“The perpetrator stated:

‘I used every possible means to approach Artist B, but I was angry because B didn’t reply. There was not even a single reaction.’.

We confirmed that the perpetrator had carefully prepared meticulous scenarios, including executing the crime on D-Day, the death threat posts, and how to respond to the police.”
