Following the incident, the Seoul Songpa Police Station received a request to investigate the fans involved, filed through the National Petition System. While Jin, the eldest member of BTS, had intended for the event to be a positive reunion with fans, the inappropriate actions of these individuals caused a backlash. Videos of the incident circulated widely, prompting criticism from netizens who condemned the fans’ behavior as a form of sexual harassment, noting Jin’s discomfort.
As of now, the suspects have not been arrested, but an official investigation is ongoing. The incident has stirred significant online discussion, with many expressing anger over the fans’ actions and emphasizing the need to respect personal boundaries, especially at public events like this.
In response to the controversy, a BTS supporter took it upon themselves to report the incident, invoking Article 11 of the Sexual Violence Punishment Act, which addresses molestation in crowded places. This move reflects broader concerns within the BTS fan community about the handling of such incidents and the importance of ensuring a safe and respectful environment for all involved.
