On June 13, JYP Entertainment came to the attention of a post made on Ilbe threatening to kill TWICE‘s Mina. 

The post showed a knife resting on someone’s wrists and included a threatening message.

After fans and the media brought attention to the post, the person who made the threat deleted the it and wrote an apology. 

Apology

I am the original author of the post made on Ilbe around 10:00 AM on June 13, 2017. The post had a photo of my hands with a knife along with negative remarks towards Mina and BamBam. I threatened the life of various parties and also used profanity in my original post. This is why I uploaded that post…

I have been part of the Ilbe community for a long time now and have a long history of posts that were popular and have had good reception on the site. When a post does well, it gets a “popular post” tag and that’s what drove me to do this post.

I really enjoyed seeing that tag on my posts and I already knew that the post I posted today would get that tag. I only posted for the popular post tag and never had any intention of harming or giving harm to anyone.

I realized really late that this post would be negatively be seen by various parties. I apologize to the TWICE fan community for causing such worthless worry over this matter. I also see the strong significance of writing “I will kill you.” I was very shortsighted for writing such things so carelessly.

I ask for your forgiveness even though it will be hard. I am really reflecting upon my careless actions and really regret doing that post.

I want to apologize to everyone: Mina, all the members of TWICE, ONCE, and JYP Entertainment.

I will never upload any post of this nature in the future. I am highly sorry over everything that has happened. – Ilbe User
