Police suspend investigation into Japanese women kissing Jin in fan event because of this reason

April 2nd, 2025




If ARMYs remember, on June 13th last year, the day after Jin was discharged from the military, he attended the "Jin Greetings (part of 2024 BTS FESTA)" at Jamsil Stadium and gave out 1,000 free hugs to lucky fans.

While both Jin and his fans were happy to see each other again in nearly two years of military service, an incident turned the experience for everyone worse. Some women tried to kiss him on the cheek, sparking a public controversy over the possibility of sexual harassment.




Furthermore, one of the two women (hereinafter referred to as A) was found to be a Japanese woman in her 50s. She even updated a list with some sensitive words, describing that situation on her personal blog. She wrote: "My lips touched his (Jin's) neck. His skin is so soft and smooth."





On June 19, the police received a petition, filed through the National Petition, requesting an investigation under the Sexual Violence Punishment Act. Then in July last year, the police requested international cooperation from Japan Interpol and identified the suspect after about seven months.

On February 27 this year, the police officially charged the women under the law on incident acts in crowded public places and proceeded to file a case, requesting the defendant to appear in the police station.

At that time, there was also news from the police that they might summon Jin as a victim of sexual assault by Japanese female fans.

However, the latest news about the investigation disappointed fans. On March 26, the Songpa Police Station in Seoul announced they had decided to suspend the investigation into the two women directly involved because they believed the investigation would take a long time.

Sources said that A, who is currently unable to attend the questioning, will likely be present in a few months. The other person, woman B, has not yet been found.

According to police investigation regulations, the investigation can be suspended if the suspect is overseas for more than two months suspect's whereabouts are unknown, or they cannot be questioned for a long time due to serious illness or other reasons, making it impossible to investigate and conclude the investigation.




In response to the Seoul police decision, many fans expressed their displeasure that the police did not give the harasser appropriate punishment that victims like Jin were not protected:

แƒ“ Normalise idols during self-defence on crazy fans. Nothing like good kick to teach some of these people boundaries

แƒ“ If it was a dud who did they they'll be in jail for years. Why they should stop the investigation? What proof do they need? Like they could totally issue a warrant for arrest but they're handling it like it's a minor thing to do

แƒ“ Just hand her a lifetime ban to set an example

แƒ“ They will never take real action. So disappointed

แƒ“ Now these fans are the one that needs a wake up call from reality and fantasy

แƒ“ They said they were working with Japan Interpol to find out the identity of the woman who kissed Jin, but in the end, they gave the reason for the suspension as it would take time to interrogate and not find the other person

แƒ“ All BigHit events have information of the participations, finding B is not difficult. They just don't really want to do it
