Sensitive A PSA for anyone planning to go to concerts [Trigger Warning] (1 Viewer)

I cannot confirm nor do I know if 100% this stuff has been happening but it is something that does happen in crowded spaces that consist of mainly young women or young people generally.

Be careful if you go to a concert and take care of yourself and your friends! This isn't meant to make anyone paranoid of going to concerts, just make sure to be careful so that you can fully enjoy your concert to the fullest extent!

So, this isn't true. Yes, needle attacks happen, but they're actually quite rare. I did a little digging and the only reason this is going around is someone made a post claiming an ATINY died after being pricked with a needle at the concert. The tweet was later deleted and it was found to be a lie created for attention. Seeing as there are no news reports regarding such an event, this basically confirms it didn't happen.

But France does have a problem with needle attacks at the moment, there were around 55 reported cases in the last few weeks
So, I don’t think it's wrong to raise awareness

I get that, the issue I have here is that the majority of concertgoers will never encounter this and it causes fear for no reason. The France needle attacks seem to be happening in nightclubs, not at concerts, and aren't a widespread issue that kpop fans need to be wary of. So I do think it's wrong to "raise awareness" by making people fear something unnecessarily. Similar rumours were spread after the AstroWorld tragedy and it can cause more harm than help.
