Fandom that crosses the line is nothing but a crime.

I felt a deep sense of bitterness upon hearing the news of the trial regarding BTS Jin's unprecedented 'surprise kiss' incident. A proper fandom culture begins with respecting each other's dignity and safety, going beyond mere affection for the artist. No matter how much one loves a star, physical contact without consent is a clear act of sexual assault and a criminal offense.

The news of this trial serves as a reminder of the need to protect artists and impose strict punishment for sexual harassment. I hope that the senseless behavior hidden behind the excuse of fandom will pay a fitting legal price as soon as possible, and that a mature culture will take root.
