Mr. A also criticized the agency, Big Hit Music, saying, “I hope that the agency that caused Jin, who was just discharged from the military, to experience this humiliation because they were so obsessed with making money, will reflect deeply.”
Yesterday (13th), Jin held a ‘hug party’ at the ‘2024 FESTA’ event to commemorate the 11th anniversary of BTS’ debut. This event was planned by Jin himself for his fans who had been waiting for his discharge from the military. Among BTS Weverse membership subscribers, the grand prize winner was selected through a drawing among fans who purchased Jin’s solo single ‘The Astronaut’.
Most fans briefly hugged Jin and moved around in an orderly manner, but some fans attempted excessive physical contact, causing controversy. One fan tried to kiss Jin, and another fan pulled Jin by the neck and kissed him on the cheek. Jin’s expression of embarrassment because of these incidents spread through various online communities and social networking services (SNS).
BTS fans and netizens are raising their voices, calling for “obvious sexual harassment” and demanding the identification and punishment of those responsible.
