Kpop fans and the world at large are thrown into turmoil when the rising global sensation BTS, Bangtan Sonyeondan are kidnapped in the dead of night. As the world reels in confusion the young men of BTS find themselves living a nightmare from which...
The building that housed Big Hit Entertainment was on total lockdown. A squad of police had been there since the early hours of the morning and it was now evening. The media was starting to take notice as several reporters arrived with local television news crews.
Inside the office of the CEO, Bang Si-hyuk, also known far and wide as Hitman Bang was pacing in front of Senior Police Officer, Park Hyun-shik. He stopped as the officer asked, "Have you received any demands yet?"
The anger that passed over his face was quickly hidden as Hitman struggled for calm in what was becoming a nightmare situation. "No....I know only what I have told you. Two of my staff members informed me that they had been attacked at the recording studio late last night and witnessed all the members of BTS being kidnapped. They had been restrained and only able to escape this morning. Once I arrived here and had them tell me everything that had happened I called you. All of the staff who are here now have been told to stay near the phones and report every call to me."
The CEO resumed pacing in front of the policeman as thoughts tumbled over and over in his mind. What kind of nightmare had they stepped into? He already had his staff get in touch the families of BTS and arranged to have them bought to a secret location in Seoul before any reporters could get to them. Pdogg had taken care of all the details once they realized how serious the situation was.
The officer's voice brought him out of his thoughts. "Do not worry, Mr. Bang. The order has gone through the highest levels to lockdown all the routes out of the city as well as covering the train stations and airports."
Hitman had a hard time controlling the contemptuous snort he so wanted to throw at the policeman. These were not some state politician or CEO's....these were 7 young men that he cared for and look after as family. They were in real danger here and he had never felt so helpless.

Both men were startled when a staff member burst into the office, telling them to turn on the television.
The leader of Big Hit Entertainment turned on the large wall T.V. and wanted to throw the remote into it. A news anchor in studio stood in front of a picture featuring the members of BTS while in large letters the headline screamed, BTS KIDNAPPED! RANSOM DEMAND TO BE DELIVERED ON THE INTERNET IN ONE HOUR! NO CONFIRMATION FROM BIG HIT ENTERTAINMENT.

"This news station received an anonymous email containing images of the BTS members bound and gagged in what appeared to be a large truck or van. The email also stated that the members were unhurt and would remain so as long as the mailer's demands were met. Also in the email was the information that the kidnappers' ransom demand would be released onto the internet at exactly 8:30 P.M Korean time."

The news anchor's voice cut like glass over the two men watching.Both men looked at the clock on the wall; it read 7:45 P.M.
Park Hyun-shik moved to the office door, yelling at a fellow police officer to get men over to the television station and get that email. All Hitman could do was slump into the nearest chair and fold his hands together in prayer.
