Japanese woman accused of kissing Jin on the cheek during a fan event

A 50-something Japanese woman has been indicted on charges of indecent assault after allegedly kissing BTS member Jin on the cheek. The Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors’ Office said on November 17 that the woman, identified as A, was indicted on the indecent assault charge on the 12th of the month.

According to the report, the incident occurred at a fan event held after Jin completed his military service, at the Songpa District’s Jamsil Indoor Gym, where about 1,000 fans were in attendance. The allegation states that she kissed Jin’s cheek by force during the event.

Earlier, police had summoned the woman for questioning, but the investigation was suspended in March due to expected delays. She later appeared voluntarily for questioning, and the case was forwarded to prosecutors on indecent assault charges.
