A Japanese woman who allegedly kissed BTS member Jin without consent is in legal trouble. According to South Korean police, the woman has been summoned for questioning following an online complaint.

The incident occurred in June of last year at Jin’s celebratory free hug event in Seoul, where he hugged over 1000 fans. Instead of just hugging the star, the woman appeared to have kissed his face. The K-pop idol quickly turned away and looked visibly uncomfortable.

Video footage of  the interaction went viral. The incident has since caused an uproar among other BTS fans, one of whom filed the criminal complaint which led to Soth Korean authorities to launch an investigation.

The woman later wrote on her blog, “My lips touched his neck. His skin was so soft.” If prosecuted, she will be facing charges of sexual harrassment in a public space.
