A Japanese woman in her 50s, who forcibly kissed Jin of BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan), has been indicted at home and will stand in a South Korean court in July 2026. According to reports from South Korean media today (2nd), the Seoul Eastern District Court's Criminal Division 9 plans to hold two trials against the suspect next July. Jin, who completed his military service last June, proposed the idea of 'free hugs' and held a special event where he hugged about 1,000 fans. At this time, the suspect participated in the event and was hugging Jin when she suddenly kissed his cheek. The prosecution indicted the suspect at home on November 11 for kissing Jin. At that time, according to Japan's TBS, citing sources from the investigation, the suspect stated, 'I regret it. I didn't think this would be a crime,' which attracted attention.
