BTS’ J-hope was inappropriately touched by a fan at a recent concert

BTS’ J-hope just embarked on his “Hope On The Stage” tour, which has been heavily marked by inappropriate behaviour from some of the attendees. This time, the first Japanese concert date in Saitama wasn’t the exception to the rule.

The idol is well known for getting close to fans during the show’s send-off event and the actual concert itself. It is usual that J-hope walks along the barricade and interacts with fans in various ways, while most of them are respectful of the idol, some others just cross the line.

At one point, J-hope was hugged by a fan without clearly prompting it first. However, the situation quickly escalated after the fan was seen touching his stomach as more hands reached out to his body. BTS’ fans, better known as ARMY, expressed their discontent with how the idol was treated, remarking that the idol is still a human being who deserves respect.
