Think about international fans who couldn’t have any up close contact with Jin and he was only able to have contact with 1000 fans. He just came back from the military two days ago, please show respect to him, he works so hard for ARMY so let’s show him some love back 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This was só disrespectful, & that may be that other Army's ain't that lucky ok, but even so, we should behave respectful & not kiss the members like that, it's nót ok!!!!!
I hope the behavior of some bad fans won't make the members hesitate to do something wonderful to the rest of the army. Jin is too kind to us. Please don't abuse it.
Are you saying that unless fans are from SKorea, they are NOT real army? @@hee-k7fThey all pay the same amount of money to BTS to be in the official fan club?
Shame on those two women who took advantage and harassed Jin with their unwanted actuations. For the rest of the lucky Army though, they abided by the rules and got to enjoy the gift of being able to hug and welcome Jin. Jin, on his part, was conscientious enough to put that hard cardboard on his chest so he could respectfully hug Army without the unintended “feel”. WHAT A TRUE GENTLEMAN!!! 💜💜💜
Don’t be ridiculous. She got carried away with the excitement of being hugged by him. He’s a grown man and he’s probably forgotten it by now. He wouldn’t want her punished, he’s not that kind of guy.
@@chocolatechipkookie3439 yes he is a grown man and there is something called respecting boundaries...you can clearly see he was uncomfortable...it was a hugging or handshake event not a kissing event...there were respectful Army that followed the rules...Excited or not she is also a grown woman... She should have done better. There will always be someone in the lot that will ruin things smh
@@mejunni8475 She’s not a grown woman she looks like an over exited teenager and I repeat all i previously wrote. I’m sure she’s now worried about all the negative reactions. Let’s wait and see if Jin mentions it , if he doesn’t let’s forget it like he has.
@@chocolatechipkookie3439 Both of those ladies didn't look like teenagers. They seemed like adults and should respect Jin and their boundaries for such an event. If they're local Koreans, I'm sure they had received lots of negative comments from K-Armys for their actions.
@@emilyl1094 Let’s wait and see if Jin comments on it. If he doesn’t ,everyone needs to let it go. It was only his second day out and I’m sure he doesn’t want all this negativity.
It was definitely inappropriate sexual harassment and would have been easily condemned by everyone if roles were reversed. I would like to see BigHit take some sort of action. That being said, it is ultimately Jin's choice as the victim. I suspect given how kind hearted he is that he's chosen not to have BigHit do anything.
@@Peace-ii9ov young ARMY got caught up in the moment. No need to see it as intentional disrespect . Im sure that was not the intention. Don’t be judgmental. Jin enjoyed the entire experience and event.Period.
Of course that girl who kissed Jin's on the neck was sexually harrassing him. He was so umcomfortable and it was without his concent. She should have hug Jin like the rest of the girls and not overstepping the bounderies and be in Jin's face like that. Poor Jin.
The fan crossed the boundaries and took advantage of Jin when he didn't consent to that. Fans were warned of the rules and were told how to behave appropriately towards Jin prior to the event happening. So it was very disappointing to see that not adhered to, it put Jin in an awkward position when Jin was already so kind enough to hug practically random strangers and make them happy. Jin deserves nothing but the utmost respect and especially as he's giving up his free time to put on these events so soon when he could have just relaxed so soon after after his military discharge
He fought the company to have just hugs and handshakes from 1000 fans when they told him 50 maximum. He served the country for a year and a half, and he wanted to spend his first day out with ARMY but then some girls turn around and do this? 😭 I-ARMY would kill just to be in the same room with him much more for the privilege of a hug but a non-consensual neck kiss is so disgusting
Fabulous event for all fans, whether you were lucky enough to attend or to watch on YT. The majority of fans are respectful but there is always a minority who will push boundaries. Bless Jin for being a modest, thoughtful human being. 😊
Unfortunately, Nope.😑 Don't think they do.🤡 You know how everybody flexes on social media? WHOEVER it was, I haven't seen her bragging about her disrespectful bait and switch on Jin anywhere.🤪 She's probably not sorry she did it, but she's got just enough sense to keep her mouth shut & lay low -- and it's KI**ING her.😏
This reminded me of story about the rabbit visiting bordel for first time in life and get's old snake for having some fun. Snake looks at the rabbit with munches repeating to itself: "That's a client, I shouldn't eat it!" but finally gives up and swallows rabbit in one piece. After a minute or two snake starts regreting it and pukes the rabbit out. The rabbit, all wet from snake's saliva, angrily shakes his fur off and looks at snake adresding it with high tone: " Hey snake, next time be more careful how ya doing that blowjob, will ya???!!!"
@bdfhvxz you are probably right, but I dont think she will be able to hide for real. There are people who recognise her. The world is a small place, after all, or is it South Korea...
@@beany1944 okay still this shouldn't become a wich hunt. She made grave mistake for which she is being scolded. It should end up here. There is no reason to think she is saesang just because of this mistake on event. Even Jin didn't make big fuss of it, he used fair dose of humor and gently told her alikes to back off. I admire him for being so cool.
@@bdfhvxz lol wouldn't you climb under first stone if you did what she did? I know I'd die out of shame. But I'd never do such thing sober or drunk, that's the difference. Ofc she's silent and prolly embarassed
I guess those girls already got a lot of back clash. Hope fully they have leaned their lessons and keep in mind to follow rules. No need to blacklist. BTS won't like that either. It's a lesson learned hopefully. We need every single army to support BTS.
Some ppl have now reported this incident to the police and they are deciding whether to persue it because it was an act of sexual assault that took place against poor Jin
I hope BTS members and Bighit finally dare to show their personal border more clearly. future life partners and children would certainly not be happy about such situations. I hope Bighit revokes club membership and doesn't let this person near them anymore. Jin clearly shows his limits. The second moment was borderline, while the first was just disgusting and disrespectful. Bighit has her information. that's why we say that Membership is/was necessary.
I'm disgusted that this happened. I can't believe they were chosen while some of us that never win would follow all rules & respect the members 100%. They should be banned from entering raffles & all future events. 💜😡💜
Hybe was worried it would be dangerous for Jin. Jin was safe and Army were so fast that he finished early and had extra time. Jin fought to have this fan meet and it was successful. He can be proud knowing his idea was sound and he got to celebrate his release on his terms.
He was being too kind with the hug event in the first place, i mean that was a huge risk but he really wanted to do something super special for fans and to see some people being so disrespectful os awful, no sense of boundary or respect in sight. Disgusting behavior. Now we probably won't get any event like this for the rest of the members upon their return
Poor Jin, he is so kind to give hugs to so many fans. Those who took advantage of him are really shameless and should be blacklisted from future event. Their actions are practically molest!
They should have to write apology letter to Jin for inappropriate behavior. Revoke their membership, fans don't want these type people representing army. Someone reach out help these women learn respect for self and others. Maybe they victims in past so don't know better but most likely just loose inappropriate females that embarrassed the fandom an jin during such special event
Now, however,I hate Hybe and all.this led me thinking they were actually worried for Jin.These types of incidents should not happen,not even if he's a male.Harrasment is harrasment
That photo says a lot. That kiss is nothing to brag about. They show Jin with an "yucky" face. Poor Jin, at least a majority of the ARMY were considerate. Those ladies will probably never be allowed near the members from here on.
So in the future, when the other members are discharged...they may limit it to a handshake or talking behind a table like other fanmeetings, and it'll all be because a couple crazy women who call themselves ARMY, but they're NOT! Because ARMY loves and RESPECTS our boys!
They should have not blurred that woman's face who took advantage of the situation. She should be banned from all BTS events and what she did is clearly sexual assault.
Good thing he can handle it well. Some may get traumatized by that. Ladies, we have this saying "Don't do unto others what you don't want others to do to you." Keep that in mind!
I really can’t watch this video completely. The fact that Jin did all of it right after discharge and people can’t mind their manners. Gosh,one shot learn to hesitate sometimes
OH - I hadn't seen these "overly-excited" ARMY women in the other videos I watched. They shouldn't have acted that way!! Now I know what all the fuss is about.
JST BECOZ JIN ORGANIZE TIS EVENT TO MAKE ARMY FEEL HAPPY😭 WHY WHY WHY SHE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF HIM?😭SHE IS NOT A TRUE BTS ARMY.... 😭TIS IS SO SAD N UNFAIR..... 💔
Tbh he shouldve known a few psychos were going to be in there. I know its sad to see, but Artists should never hug their fans without a big security guy there to stop ppl from acting out. I do feel bad for him because he had pure intentions, but sadly in the real world, lots of fans are disgusting people who just want to take advantage of their idols. Most armies arent like this, but it just takes 1 to ruin it for everyone.
I really do think that they should BLOCK those people from ALL future events. Jin deserves BETTER than what those people did! It was a HUG event NOT a let me kiss Jin event! gggrrrr!!! Love Jin and he totally deserves better than he got.
I think it's sad that the two incidences by the two women is the only thing the media wants to report on instead of the great success of the event and Festa. Shedding light on that satisfies the haters and continues to shed more negativity on Hybe and it's artists. Granted, whatever Hybe and Jin wish to do to pursue legal action is up to them and not the outraged fans who have no business being involved. Army's job should only be spreading positive light on the overall event. Hate only satisfies the haters trying to bring BTS and it's company down. Shame on the news stations not reporting on the success of the event.
Those army should respect Jin as he wanted to do this because he missed us so you should respect him and he can get uncomfortable he’s also human and he doesn’t belong to you and you should be greatful you were able to hug him be respectful next time or do t go to hi as he was really uncomfortable
I hope the guards pulled them aside when they finished and taught them a lesson for life and on top of it they're dealing with them legally now! How disgusting and shameful
This is so disgusting and disrespectful imagine you having a chance to hug the f*cking KIM SEOKJIN and you choose to harass him and try to kiss him like that ?? She better go to jail
I think that also cultural thing could play the part. For French, Latinos, Russiand and Mediterraneans (Italy, Gteece, Spain etc.) hug comes with kisses on cheeks. This is how you greet relatives and friends. She might react with cultural automatism but she shouldn't. Even in countries mrntioned you don't greet person you met for forst time and you aren't close to this way. Then again, she could have think of Jin as of someone close. Whatever, she crossed all possible lines
@@AA4PJM jealous?? Oh honey this is harassment! She kissed him on his neck without his consent and he looked uncomfortable. I’m happy for everyone who got to hug him but these people don’t have respect and it shows 💀 imagine a fanboy doing this to a girl I’m sure you wouldn’t have said this right now. This has nothing to do with jealousy I would never want to kiss him on his neck bc that’s sexual harassment.
@@juanaSuliman-tj5lr I know, she really crossed all lines. And I read she was Korean. This means it couldn't be this cultural thing (which is only reserved for relatives and friends anyway, and Jin is neither)
@@AA4PJM Angie, nobody normal can be jelous about such behavior. Jun is big boy though, he seen even worst, but let us not be indifferent to what happened. It was huge mistake
Jin's advisors should have said no to the Hugging... There are crazy, obsessed, deranged,...fans out there who will do anything that's disrespectful....
he said on his live that the company said no multiple times because they knew it could put him in danger but he argued with them to let him do it because he wanted to show his appreciation towards the fans that continuously supported him while he was away.
@@zzzmisun he didn’t ask to be assaulted so no, it isn’t his fault and it never will be his fault for wanting to physically interact with his fans after being gone for almost two years. jin wanted to do something special for himself and the people who support him and one person out of 1000 decided to take advantage of that. jin is not accounted for someone else’s unwanted actions. and you placing the blame on the victim instead of the harasser is truly disgusting and really messed up.
@@zzzmisun right it was his choice, but it’s not his fault that he was assaulted. thats like blaming a woman for being harassed by a man simply because she chose to wear some shorts and a crop top outside on a hot summer day. like i said, blaming the victim instead of blaming he harasser is very disgusting and really makes you no better than an SA apologist.
ARMY should’ve let Jin handle this unpleasant situation himself. Negative media coverage can do more harm to celebrities, even though he was the victim. 😢 Please don’t let Jin’s beautiful event ruined by these two (out of 1000 ARMY) disrespectful fans, media and haters! 🙏 Let’s focus on Jin and show more support for his post-military service activities! 💜
Agreed. It's not like Jin doesn't know what happened. He was the victim. If he wants to pursue some sort of action against her he is more than capable of doing so.
Many said.. that the one in blue was saying something to him and accidentally their face was to close so he tried to move his face away not that she was trying to kiss me... 😅 even I saw it many times without her face blurred and it feels like she was trying to say something to him.. but don't know🤔
I am sure Jin and management prepared themselves for more than 2 overzealous fans! Yes, this was DEFINITELY 110% wrong, Jin set clear boundaries, which should be respected at ALL times. I don't think she should be able to attend future events as she obviously can't control herself, but calling for her to be arrested and death threats? This one act of silliness is now being reported on and overshadowing such a wonderful event. I just hope Jin doesn't now feel he has to go live or send us a message to all calm down. Let's not look ridiculous, ARMY!💜
I honestly got scared when I got the announcement in weverse, because I feared this would happen. 😭😭 Jin is a gentleman, but the behavior he got really broke my heart. He doesn't deserve this. I seriously heartfully wannna apologize for the misbehavior he got. 😔 People who disrespect BTS should go to Jail..
Younhap is starting to scare me with the use of sources like Koreabo that literally use Twitter posts taken out of context (without even the permission of the person who wrote the post which is illegal) and poorly translated gossip media. Do you and write the political news the same way without sources? Then all of Korea is definitely in huge trouble. This is not a scandal, Jin didn't sue anyone, Hybe didn't file a complaint, what kind of people are they who file a report like this on behalf of someone they don't know? Apparently they are crazy or paid to stop all future fan meetings. This is literally not a scandal, but a fabrication to keep everyone from admitting that all the stereotypes about post-military Idols are wrong. Jin sings better than before, it doesn't seem likely, he's definitely more handsome and on the contrary he's slimmed down and should put on a few pounds. If he was unhappy about something, he wouldn't be so happy at the end and even say he wants another event like this. Actually better question, where are the faces of those who file the report and there names?
I'm an artist and I can definitely see that Jin and the rest of the guys need the fans to fill themselves with positive emotions, calm down, etc. Artists often need this more than communication with other artists, as there is an awful lot of animosity in the industry between the artists and the people who work as producers in the case of Kpop. No Idols are definitely not all friends and they don't love each other unconditionally, they are still competition in the charts, so the relationship there is definitely very strained, no matter what people write about how nobody had problems with each other, only crazy fans made fan wars- this is definitely not true. So hanging out with people who don't hate you and don't try to sabotage you is definitely good for an artist's mental health. Jin also said he feels good and charged up by Army and that's not fanservice trust me. It's just that in the background of Jin, some other idols who fight with their fans on the streams after the barracks look ill-mannered and nasty, and that's why they try to create a scandal out of nothing. If there was a problem Jin would say, he is not a child nor helpless and he definitely communicates with the fans.
Tbh he kinda overreacted, it wasnt such a big kiss. Have you seen Michael Jackson or Justin Bieber with theyr fans. I know it may be little bit uncomfortable but damn it wasnt a kiss on the lips also in many cultures its common to kiss someone on cheek or so.
I love him, but don't want when he said before he die...I really doesn't want want him to say that again,he is still young to say that...he can just say "I will do it again soon"
@@AA4PJM you are spamming every post with your nonsense. Are you trolling? Because you know consent is for male and female. Are seriously saying Jin enjoy to be kissed on the neck without consent by a fan? Use your brain and see the problem here
@KOREANOW • 0:25: It is twóthóúsánd twenty four, nót twenty twenty four, again, we started the New Millennium in twothousand so respectfully, it is twóthóúsánd twenty four.
Uh... it is perfectly okay to say 2024 or 2000 24. Either is acceptable. We Say 1983 not one thousand nine hundred and 83. No one says one thousand nine hundred so most don't say two thousand twenty four

After that year, the year twothousand, again the ríght prounouncement ís twothousand twenty fóúr, get that for a change, u & people like u have become lazy, u make everything i bet short like this, so for the last time, it is twothousand twenty four!!!!!
I might use a different descriptive word, but I did have the same reaction when I first heard of this event. Jin meant well, but collectively, they should have been able to come up with a better idea.
no it isn’t, lots of celebrities have done events like these such as meet and greets or choosing to spend a day with fans, etc. plus it’s what jin personally wanted to do to show is appreciate and gratitude towards his supporters so there’s nothing wrong with that and it’s not his fault that some people don’t know how to respect others boundaries.
This was só disrespectful!!!!!Army's need to show respect!!! Thís is why they díd'nt stream as much as they use to do, & that is because of behaviours like this, first the cónstántly marry me jokes & the daddy jokes witch they háté, & now thís!!!!!!! Seriously, how can the Army's say they ain't toxic or that they haven't changed huh, don't give me those excuses, sorry, but i'm adressing this message to Army's & ónly Army's that behave like that, who cán't show réál respect, this is nót for Army's that hávé learned to behave, this message then is nót for u, it is for Army's that cán't behave respectfully ok. : Get a life, & behave!!!!! Úr making the whole Army fandom look bad, stóp those behaviours, & stop it now!!!!!!!! And also that romantically shipping them wíthóút réál confirmation from thémsélfs ór HYBE, BigHit is un acceptable aswell, these are their personal private lives ok that ur messing with, they dón't treat us that way now do they, show some réál respect, & just do what they requested us to do!!!! And that is: Stream their Solo songs, vote for them, & if possible, buy their merch, thís is what makes the members happy, not this rude disrespectful kissing the Idols like they are ur lovers, they will névér be our lovers or boyfriends or husbands, or son-in-laws ok, the sooner ú delusional minor Army's get that, the better, so knock it off, & don't come with the excuse that my grammar is off cause it's nót ok, & i may have a light form of autism, but at least my parents raised me right, i have more réál respect for the members then most Army's out there, again, those behaviours like kissing Jin in the neck, that airport mobbing that moat of u do, seriously, Army's & most other fandoms hávé become toxic, cause if ur not, then u would'nt behave like thát in the first place at all, period, & if u feel attacked or u have something to say to me, say it respectfully, politely, cause i don't use cusswords, so pls, don't cuss me out, u Army's knów véry well that those behaviours like this kissing behaviour is nót & névér wil be ok!!!!
She was wrong. Maybe overly excited. Got overwhelmed. Moving on. If Jin says something about it, then I’ll back him but if he doesn’t we should let it go. If you love him follow his lead. A girl stepped on his foot also….he isn’t saying anything about that either. I’m sure he suspected this might happen. Not right that she did that but I support him either way. He is saying nothing and neither should ARMY. He is showing/telling ARMY how he wants us to behave and we should do it.
stepping on someone’s foot is not even remotely the same thing as trying to forcefully kiss someone without their consent. that’s literally SA caught on video so of course people are gonna be upset by it. if jin were on female idol and the fan was a male, this type of thing would not have been ok so i don’t see why it’s any different just because he roles are reversed. wrong is wrong no matter who it is and that “fan” will face the consequences of her actions.
@@F1cs9b61 stepping on someone’s foot is oftentimes an accident and in this case it was accudental, which doesn’t make in an assault. though you can’t “accidentally” try to forcibly kiss someone. not only does that classify as an actual assault but it classifies as one of the most serious and (unfortunately) common types of assault known as SA.
@@not_in_the_mood think about this.. both instances are determined by the victim. If in this example he doesn’t consider it that- theoretically we could consider it that- but if he doesn’t it’s a moot point. We don’t know if his security did something after or what. If he says it was offensive, then I’m onboard. He hasn’t, that I have seen, so I side with Jin. He hasn’t said he felt compromised since it ended. So I will follow his lead. We shouldn’t put our judgement on his situation. We should support his evaluation of his own situation.
@@F1cs9b61 hes not obligated to publicly come out with a statement for it to still be offensive though. we all saw the video, we seen his reaction and how he tried to back away from being violated and how it made him uncomfortable. as a celebrity and an idol, its his job to remain professional in any situation, but the people that watched his live heard him give confirmation that the only thing allowed would be a hug and that’s it. so whether he verbally says anything about it or whether he chooses to press charges against her or not is his business and of course we’ll have be ok with his decision, but we can still raise awareness towards this issue because at the end of the day disrespecting someone’s boundaries like that when they did not give consent to it isn’t ok and will never be ok no matter who it is. staying quiet only makes these harassers feel like their actions are justifiable to the point that they’ll do it to others thinking there will be no consequences.
Can not believe this. He did his best to be respectful by creating barrier with sign. How can Korean army not respect their own culture. How dare they make him uncomfortable like this. Find them an help them reflect about poor behavior. Women should not behave like this to men don't know. Shameless
So disrespectful! 😡 Taking advantage of Seokjinah's beautiful heart and generous spirit 💔 We can be assured that Hybe will veto any suggestion of close-up events with members in the future...🔮😭
There MUST be thousands of army from all over the world that are Jealous they didn't make the cut. And as we know The men of bts think ALL army members are equal-overseas or not because they all pay equal money to worship bts. I believe bts Management are at fault for even thinking this man would not be very nervous in the first place and for "stoking up the hype" in the first place. The burden on the two men who've done their service, is going to be great, to keep millions of army all over the world happy for many months will be huge.
You guys need to chill. Jin can handle his own stuff, and he did. He is a man, not your child. Like always he handled it well. The last thing he would want is people threatening or suing this young lady who got carried away. Not cool. People also need to stop talking about it! Let's focus on Jin only!
If Jin was a female idol, say Jennie or Nayeon, and a male fan did that during a hug event, would you respond by saying, you guys need to chill. Jennie/Nayeon is an adult, not a child. Please accord the same respect of boundaries to a man that you would to a woman.
@@regardstoall9667 Yeah, these accusations of jealousy against those who are expressing concern about Jin's welfare are sad and pathetic. I'm a 66 yo whose concern is more like a mother's who doesn't want her children to be victims of sexual harassment or assault.
@@regardstoall9667 She said right thing. Woman made huge mistake. We scolded her and now she knows. End of story. Jin had to extra rub his skin to wash that slimey kiss off, but as Carol said, Jin is big boy after all. He told her elegantly that she crossed the lines. And that was it. He didn't let her be removed from the event.
@0xyGen_2.p0 let's see how you feel when u are on the receiving end of an unwanted slimey kiss that you cannot stop from happening. Still, I hope you never have to deal with that ever.
I understand they are probably young, but there are consequences to their actions. They are way out of line for doing that. Jin does not like his face touched. Send them back to school and educate them on how to act respectful to others. 💜💜💜🤟🇺🇸💜💜💜💜
I love you guys but your telling me that you had to buy albums to get a hug? Explain this to me please!!!! Like they don't have millions of dollars. While the lower paid fans can't even afford to go to a concert because prices are so high. been with them since the hit the stage at the AMA first time. I'm 60 yrs old until this stunt my wish before I die maybe see one concert. They are very good at what they do the music and the laughs getting everyone through COVID with hope. But this I have seen the Beatles, Rolling Stones. Elton John just about every top artists in every gentry from Rap to Country never had to pay the price I seen for their concert other than Beyonce which wouldn't do anyway. Some people are lucky. Sending best wishes.
