We are worried for Hyunjin and hope that @JYPnation and @stay_support takes measures to protect him and other members ahead of the upcoming fanmeeting.”

Now they’re threatening to permanently blind him. unlike the previous death threats they sent to him, they can actually do this in the fan sign.”
