The Los Angeles Police Department is "looking into" a death threat against a member of a South Korean boy band that is scheduled to perform in September at Staples Center, an officer confirmed Thursday.

"We are aware of the matter and are looking into it," said Officer Tony Im of the LAPD's Media Relations Section.

Without offering any details, Im confirmed that a member of BTS, also known Bangtan Boys, has received a death threat.
