BTS' Jin recently found himself in the centre of a legal case concerning a Japanese woman. On May 8, 2025, Korea JoongAng Daily reported she was handed over to South Korean authorities over alleged non-consensual contact during a June 2024 fan event.
Officials from Songpa District Police announced that the individual, referred to only as “A,” was transferred to the prosecution under laws addressing s*xual misconduct in public settings under the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of S*xual Crimes.
The event, titled “Jin’s Greetings,” welcomed nearly 1,000 attendees who were invited to briefly hug the singer. Amid the interaction, the lady suddenly planted a kiss on the BTS star's face. The incident, caught on camera, was circulated across online platforms.

The K-pop idol seemed startled within the recording. Following the incident, a formal grievance was lodged through South Korea’s public appeal system, prompting a police inquiry.
Authorities later located an online journal entry on a Japanese website where the writer described the moment in detail, including remarks such as “His lips touched my neck” and observations about his skin’s texture.
Investigators used this as evidence and coordinated with Interpol Japan. After several months of tracking, law enforcement identified the individual.
She later came to South Korea voluntarily and answered police questions before being forwarded to prosecutors.
It is now up to the prosecution to determine whether the case will proceed to trial.

He briefly uses a prop blade before moving into direct physical engagement, concluding with him defeating the group’s boss character.

In backstage footage, the fight director remarked on the BTS' madnae's quick learning and execution during the rehearsal and take.
After publication, screenshots and footage from the episode quickly spread online. The episode remains a trending topic on social networks.
