In a report by Soompi and KoreaBoo, the Seoul Songpa Police Station confirmed on June 14 that they had received some complaints arising from the incident. “We received the complaint through the National Petition System, but we have not received a formal complaint.
We have not booked the suspect yet,” the authorities said, adding that they would further investigate the matter. The day after his military discharge, Jin conducted an in-person event for this year’s “BTS FESTA,” where he offered hugs to 1,000 fans to express his gratitude to them for staying by his side during his enlistment. In videos circulating on social media, Jin is seen flustered and quickly turning his face away.
In the clips posted online , Jin paused to speak and address the actions of the fans, saying that he understood their excitement but that they had to control themselves. “Guys, I know you like me. But don’t rush into me.
How can I say it in English? Don’t attack me, please. Slowly, slowly,” he expressed. Some fans expressed their frustration online following the viral incident.
“This made me so upset as someone who is a fan of BTS’s music. I am requesting that those who sexually harassed Jin be fully investigated as per Article 11 of the Sexual Violen.
