Previously, there were reports of fans allegedly being stalked by suspicious individuals, and seeking help from their live-streaming idols, which is quite a spectacle. To help fans escape from such stalking events, there have been numerous instances where idols would facilitate their fans in pretending to be on a phone call with their friends.
Although he didn't personally go to the scene to rescue fans, he also let fans report their safety through live broadcast, making fans feel like they're not alone, and successfully completed the commute safely. Such a warm-hearted act has also received a lot of praise.
However, this time it was reported that a fan narrowly escaped being robbed thanks to BTS member JIN. The post immediately sparked a flurry of discussions among domestic and international fans.
English translation: Foreign fans have posted news from foreign media, indicating that a 21 year-old girl from Brazil escaped a robbery because she had a photo of JIN serving in the military on her phone.
Because the robber, having stolen a girl's mobile phone, saw a picture of JIN wearing a military uniform as the phone's wallpaper, assumed that he was her boyfriend serving in the military, he returned her phone and fled.
Although a misunderstanding led to a comical situation, it also helped a 21-year-old girl escape a robbery. After the news was released, it garnered attention abroad. Many foreign fans humorously commented, "Looks like I also need to change my phone wallpaper" and "Time to switch up the screen protector image," among other discussions.
The news quickly spread back to South Korea and not only rapidly made news headlines, but also caused a lot of discussions in Korean forums. Many Korean netizens commented, "That's so ridiculous, but thankfully nothing bad happened", "Our Seokjin not only saved his own life but also a fan's phone, how cool is that!", "He's basically a top-tier soldier of the Republic of Korea", "I guess we should keep it as a charm for safety", "Tip: Always carry a picture of your boyfriend in the military when traveling abroad". The discussion was very heated.
