BTS member Jin is set to stand trial on charges of forcible indecent assault after a Japanese woman in her 50s allegedly kissed him on the cheek at a fan meeting in Seoul last June. The Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors’ Office said on the 17th that the 50-year-old woman was indicted without detention on the charge of forcible indecent assault. The incident reportedly occurred at the fan meeting held at the Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Songpa District after Jin had completed his military service.

The Songpa Police Station had summoned the suspect for questioning, but the investigation was paused due to her lengthy stay abroad. She later returned to Korea and voluntarily attended police questioning, and the police concluded that the charges were established and forwarded the case to prosecutors in May. Note: The charges stated in the indictment will be finally determined by a court.
