A former employee of South Korea’s foreign ministry has been charged with embezzlement after attempting to sell a hat that belonged to BTS’s Jungkook.The unnamed person put the hat up for sale online in October last year for ten million won (approximately £6500).

In the listing, the seller said that the item had been left at the ministry building in Seoul when Jungkook visited to apply for a passport.They then claimed that they were now the hat’s rightful owner as it had not been claimed six months after being reported as lost property.The listing attracted a lot of negative attention from BTS fans, who seemingly did not agree with the seller’s view on the hat’s change of ownership.

As a result of this, the seller deleted the listing the following day and handed themselves in to the police.Following a police investigation, the suspect was referred to prosecutors in November last year.
