South Korean police said Friday they are summoning a Japanese woman for questioning over allegedly kissing Jin, a member of the K-pop supergroup BTS, without consent during a free hug event last year.
A police officer who answered the phone at Seoul’s Songpa police station said it requested the woman to appear for questioning over an allegation of sexual harassment. The police station refused to disclose her identity citing privacy.
The station said it had launched an investigation after receiving an online complaint and refused to provide further details because an investigation was under way.
Media reports said that South Korean police were able to confirm the identity of the woman with the help of Japanese police.
The reports said the woman, who is in her 50s, was refusing to appear for questioning.
The woman wrote in an online blog post that “My lips touched his neck. His skin was so soft,” according to Yonhap news agency.
