BTS’ Jin Goes Viral After Helping a College Student Escape a Robbery
BTS’ Jin has gone viral after reportedly saving a 21-year-old Brazilian college student from a robbery.
The incident, which took place in July 2023, highlights a unique way the K-pop idol protected a fan during his military service.
The student, Natali Vitoria Ramos Reis, was waiting at a bus stop in Curitiba after night classes when an unknown man approached her.
He snatched her phone, intending to steal it, but quickly returned the device and fled after glancing at the back of the case.
The phone case displayed a photo of Jin wearing his military uniform and a face mask.
Natali believes the robber assumed the man in the picture was her boyfriend serving in the military, prompting him to return the phone and flee immediately.
At the time of the incident, Jin was indeed serving his mandatory military duty in South Korea.
He enlisted in December 2022 and was recognized as an ‘elite soldier,’ earning an early promotion to corporal for his excellence in training and combat skills.
While Jin never knew the student, the moment highlighted his unexpected influence even during enlistment.
Fans around the globe were amused by the report, joking that Jin’s commanding presence is powerful enough to deter criminals even from thousands of miles away.

Caretakers later confirmed that he had fully recovered, eating well, playing with peers, and running around energetically as if nothing had happened.
Back in 2016, Park Geon Roung was one of the child actors who starred in the Baby Shark Dance video, which went on to become the most viewed YouTube video of all time.
He was just a kid then, and now at 17, he is showing the world just how beautifully time flies.
Geon Roung never stepped away from the spotlight. Since 2019, he has been part of Play With Me Club, a South Korean co-ed kids group, keeping his place in showbiz.
Fans who rediscovered him recently were stunned, with many saying he now looks just like a K-pop idol.
The ‘Baby Shark’ video was uploaded to YouTube in June 2016 by Pinkfong, a South Korean education brand.
It quickly became a staple in nursery schools and a go-to distraction for parents of toddlers worldwide, turning into one of the most recognizable children’s songs of its generation.
For many who grew up watching that video on repeat, seeing Geon Roung at 17 is a quiet reminder of how fast kids grow up.
One day they are dancing to baby shark, and before you know it, they are teenagers the internet is falling in love with.
BLACKPINK’s Lisa is going viral after visiting Punch, the baby Japanese macaque at Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan.
She posted the moment on her Instagram Story, showing full love to the beloved viral monkey. The photos spread across social media almost immediately.
What made the visit even more special was what Lisa brought with her.
She carried an orangutan plush toy identical to the one Punch is famous for clutching, the same toy that once comforted a baby monkey rejected by his mother and turned him into a global sensation.
