Ministry of Foreign Affairs Staff caught red-handed for trying to sell Jung Kook’s hat illegally
A Ministry of Foreign Affairs employee is attracting attention after being caught red-handed by fans for illegally selling BTS Jung Kook's hat online.
Jung Kook's lost hat was discovered for sale on a second-hand goods website for $7,000 USD by a fan. When questioned, the seller revealed their government affiliation and revealed Jung Kook had left the hat in the waiting area of their headquarters when they received their diplomatic passports in September.
He didn't try to claim it so the staff member reasoned that selling it to ARMYs would be a good idea. They also revealed that the hat's price will be raised further.
Fans called it wrong and unethical, and believe the staff member should have contacted BIG HIT MUSIC instead of selling it online.
BIG HIT MUSIC announced on Monday, October 17, 2022, that BTS members will be serving in the military beginning with oldest member Jin, before regrouping in 2025.
