Seoul Prosecutors Indict Japanese Woman Over Alleged Unsolicited Kiss of BTSJin

The move follows a police referral based on a validated allegation from a resumed inquiry.

Overview

  • The Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors’ Office said it indicted the woman without detention last Wednesday, announcing the action on Monday.
  • Prosecutors allege she kissed Jin on the cheek without consent during a June 2024 fan event.
  • The incident reportedly occurred at Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul as Jin greeted roughly 1,000 fans after completing military service.
  • Songpa Police had previously booked the suspect and sought questioning, but the investigation was paused in March.
  • The case restarted when she voluntarily appeared for questioning, after which police found the allegation valid and sent the case to prosecutors.
