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.
