BTS Star Shocked After Woman Kisses Him Without Consent, Faces Court Objection

BTS’ Jin is at the center of a legal case after a Japanese woman in her 50s was indicted for kissing him without consent during a free hug event.

The woman faces charges of indecent assault for allegedly hugging Jin and kissing him on the cheek at his post-military discharge event held last year at Seoul’s Jamsil Indoor Stadium. Jin reportedly turned away from the unexpected contact.

The controversy began when the woman posted about the incident on social media. Fans who attended the event quickly filed police reports, sparking an investigation.

The probe was briefly paused after the woman returned to Japan. However, she voluntarily came back to South Korea and was questioned by police. Prosecutors indicted her without detention.

Soon after, the woman filed an objection ahead of her first trial hearing. Through her legal representative, she submitted a notice of objection and reservation of rights to the Seoul Eastern District Court. This move signals her intention to contest the trial procedures and preserve her right to a full defense. Two hearings are scheduled for July.

She denies the charges, calling the incident minor physical contact with a celebrity. Prosecutors, however, reviewed the full circumstances — including that the contact was against Jin’s wishes — and proceeded with the indictment.

Fans continue to watch closely as the case unfolds.

“She has denied the charges, describing the incident as minor physical contact with a celebrity.”

“The woman submitted a notice of objection and reservation of rights to the Seoul Eastern District Court through her legal representative. The move is seen as the defendant signaling her intention to contest the trial’s procedures and preserve her right to a full defense.”

With hearings set for July, all eyes are on how the objection will impact the trial.
