A Japanese woman in her 50s who was sent to trial after giving BTS member Jin (real name Kim Seok-jin) a sudden kiss has reportedly expressed that she feels "resentful."

On the 18th, Japan's private broadcaster TBS News reported that a Japanese woman, identified as A, who is accused of forcible indecency, was indicted in Korea, adding that A said, "I'm resentful. I didn't think this would be a crime."

Earlier, the Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office indicted A without detention on the 12th on a charge of forcible indecency.

A is accused of taking part in "Free Hug," a fan meeting event held at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Songpa-gu, Seoul, in June last year and forcibly kissing Jin on the cheek.

Afterward, some of Jin's fans filed a complaint through the national petition system asking for an investigation of A on a charge of indecent act in a crowded public place.

Eventually, the Songpa Police Station in Seoul opened an investigation into A and referred the case to the Eastern District Prosecutors' Office.
