Woman Summoned for Allegedly Kissing BTS Member Jin

South Korean police are investigating a Japanese woman for allegedly kissing Jin, a BTS member, without his consent. The incident occurred during a free hug event in Seoul, attended by 1,000 people, following Jin's military discharge in June 2024. Media reports indicate the woman is in her 50s and is refusing to participate in questioning. Her identity was confirmed with the help of Japanese authorities. The complaint, labeled as sexual harassment, arose from an online grievance.

Video footage showed Jin looking uncomfortable during the encounter. The woman reportedly wrote in a blog: "My lips touched his neck. His skin was so soft," according to Yonhap news agency. Jin, whose real name is Kim Seok-jin, is 32 years old and the oldest member of the K-pop supergroup. BTS celebrated their 11-year anniversary at the event, having been formed in 2013.
