Airline Employee Who Allegedly Sold BTS Flight Data Facing Police Investigation
The post Airline Employee Who Allegedly Sold BTS Flight Data Facing Police Investigation appeared first on Consequence. This week, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency in South Korea announced that its cybercrime unit has arrested an airline employee based in Hong Kong accused of illegally accessing hundreds of flight details for K-pop artists. The individual, who allegedly profited from sharing information about several stars — including BTS — now faces a lengthy investigation. According to industry sources, the employee would use the airline data system at their place of employment to search for travel information for K-pop stars. Selling the information to stalkers (referred to as 'sasaengs' in Korea) led to a profit of 10 million won for the individual, which equates to approximately $7,000 USD. Over the past few years, the same sources confirm that those who purchased illegal flight details had used them to board the same flights as artists, change an artist's seats or meal selections, or cancel a flight reservation entirely. HYBE, the label home of acts including BTS, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, SEVENTEEN, and LE SSERAFIM, responded with an exclusive comment, sharing, 'HYBE will take a zero-tolerance approach to the criminal activity of commoditizing and trading artists' personal information, holding those responsible accountable to the fullest extent of the law, without any settlement or leniency.' In the past, K-pop management companies have successfully identified and taken legal action against those who had purchased and benefited from this private data. But now, the identification and arrest of a prominent seller has helped to further disrupt the supply chain. 'The sale or purchase of illegally obtained ticket information is a very serious matter that threatens the safety of artists, creates a sense of insecurity, and can lead to safety incidents at airports and on airplanes,' the statement from HYBE continued. Additionally, HYBE recently partnered with a cybercrime unit as part of a specific effort to combat AI deepfakes, which have increased in popularity across multiple sectors of the entertainment industry.

Faster Pussycat Singer's Fiancée Dies After Falling Overboard on '80s Cruise That Band Was Playing
The post Faster Pussycat Singer's Fiancée Dies After Falling Overboard on '80s Cruise That Band Was Playing appeared first on Consequence. Faster Pussycat singer Taime Downe's fiancée, Kimberly Burch, has reportedly died after falling overboard on an '80s cruise that the band was playing. According to a report from TMZ, Burch was accompanying Downe and Faster Pussycat aboard 'The '80s Cruise,' a decade-themed fest that the glam-metal band was booked to play alongside Squeeze, Adam Ant, Christopher Cross, Men at Work, and more. Downe and company were set to perform on Sunday (March 2nd) and Tuesday (March 4th). Kimberly's mother, Carnell Burch, told TMZ that her daughter fell to her death shortly after a heated argument with Downe — her partner of six or seven years — while aboard the Royal Caribbean Explorer of the Seas cruise ship, roughly 20 miles away from Freeport, Bahamas. It remains undetermined whether Kimberly jumped, was forced, or accidentally fell overboard. Carnell said Kimberly was drinking on the cruise, which was 'out of character,' but that she had otherwise been excited about the trip out of Miami and wasn't dealing with any prior emotional issues or depression. A Royal Caribbean Group spokesperson gave the following statement to TMZ: 'Our crew immediately launched a search and rescue effort, is working with local authorities, and we are providing support and assistance to the guest's family during this difficult time. To respect the privacy of our guest's family, we have no additional details to share.' A US Coast Guard spokesperson added that a helicopter crew and other personnel were deployed to assist the Royal Bahamas Defense Force in their search, though efforts were later suspended. The cruise, which is set to make stops in Nassau, San Juan, and Puerto Plata, is scheduled to return to Miami on March 9th. Our condolences go out to Kimberly Burch's family and friends during this difficult time.

Those looking to attend can RSVP via Sanders' website. Sanders, 83, is in the midst of a spoken-word tour in an effort to 'take on the oligarchy' following the re-election of Donald Trump. 'I think it is an appropriate time to ask the question that the media and most politicians don't seem to be asking: What do he and other multi-billionaires really want? What is their end game?' Sanders in a video announcement for the tour [via Newsweek]. 'Whatever we can do is what we must do. Needless to say, I intend to do my part, both inside the Beltway and traveling throughout the country to stand up for working families and to take on the oligarchy.' As for The Armed, the Detroit collective released Perfect Saviors in 2023, an album that saw the group embracing a more post-hardcore/noise rock sound. They also unveiled the EP Everlasting Gaze this past October. Check out the poster for the Bernie Sanders gig below.

Ceiling Collapses at Movie Theater During Captain America Screening
The post Ceiling Collapses at Movie Theater During Captain America Screening appeared first on Consequence. The ceiling of a movie theater in Wenatchee, Washington collapsed this week during a screening of Captain America: Brave New World. The freak incident occurred on Tuesday night at Wenatchee's Liberty Cinema when two moviegoers were catching an 8 p.m. screening of the film. Thankfully, both attendees made it out okay with no reported injuries. Photos and video shared by Wenatchee Valley Fire Department, though, show just how scary the collapse was, with the first three rows of the theater destroyed in a mess of rubble, wood beams, and insulation. Funnily, the movie itself is still playing in the background of the video (because, as one Instagram commenter said, 'The movie must go on!'). According to an interview with Wenatchee Valley Fire Battalion Chief Cam Phillips, the moviegoers — a couple — 'heard some pops and cracking,' before one of them stood up to investigate the source of the sounds. Looking up at the ceiling in front of the screen, the individual evidently realized what was about to happen, and told his girlfriend to 'Run!' She didn't have time to react though, and found herself covered in debris moments later. The collapse was reportedly 'unexpected,' and both the theater and first responders have commented on how lucky it was that the attendees were unharmed and that the theater wasn't more crowded at the time. Captain America: Brave New World premiered in February, and has already earned nearly $300 million at the box office, making it the third-highest grossing film of the year so far.
