The entire media was in a frenzy. Newspaper headlines only had pictures of KJ and EXOTIC was trending on all social media sites. Fans were frantically waiting outside the hospital, hoping to get a glimpse of their beloved idol. Online portals came up with many theories on how KJ got shot, but all of those were blasted away when the police report came out.
It was a planned attack by an unnamed anti-fan who was stalking KJ for months, the police claimed. The mention of Madam Hong and the Cartel's threats to KJ's life was kept a secret.
Instead, with the help of Abyss, Mystic Entertainment concocted a story about how an unknown assailant was stalking KJ for months and attacked him at the party. The assailant escaped and was on the run.
While the escape of the assailant infuriated fans, they were still hoping for their idol to recover. Prayer sermons were set up in different parts of the country while candle sigils were held by EXOTIC's fanclubs.
