A Japanese woman in her 50s has been indicted for forcibly kissing BTS member Jin.

The Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors’ Office announced on November 12 that ‘A’ was charged under the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes for kissing Jin on the cheek during a “hug event” at Jamsil Indoor Stadium last June.

The case follows an investigation by Songpa Police, who initially summoned her; she later appeared voluntarily, allowing prosecutors to proceed.

Meanwhile, BTS is preparing a full-group album set for release next spring.
