For many K-Pop fans, Felix is one of the most wholesome idols in the industry. Whether he is showcasing his fierce side during performances or sharing his softer side with fans, the idol never stops making fans feel special.

Of course, like all K-Pop idols, Felix’s fame and popularity will always have downsides. Netizens have raised concerns after posts shared on Weibo gained attention where the user has sent malicious messages with threats towards Felix.

In the posts, the user claimed they bought a laser pen with the intention of using it to harm Felix. Although they seem harmless, laser pens are known to cause extreme damage to people.

The user, who has promoted themselves as a Hyunjin fan, then revealed they would harm Felix if anything happened to Hyunjin, with some graphic details that unsurprisingly worried fans.

Although it isn’t uncommon for idols to receive threats, many fans have shared their concerns as Stray Kids are set to travel to China for a fansign event.

With many of the posts tagging the event, STAYs are rightly worried that the OP might attend the event and fulfill their promise to hurt Felix.

While it’s not uncommon for idols to receive threats, netizens believe that companies take them too lightly and want JYP to take action. The fansign event with China is getting nearer, and many worry that this one user might be serious and could try and hurt Felix and the other members.
