A former Ministry of Foreign Affairs employee who sold “BTS Jungkook’s used hat” ended up like this

A former Ministry of Foreign Affairs employee who tried to sell a hat left behind by BTS Jungkook (26) on a second-hand trading site was fined.

According to legal circles on May 3rd, Judge Park So Jung of the Seoul Central District Court’s 2nd Criminal Division issued a summary order of a fine of 1 million won on April 28th to a former Ministry of Foreign Affairs employee who was summarily indicted for embezzlement.

In October last year, this employee posted on a second-hand trading site that they would sell a hat that Jungkook left behind after visiting the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to make a passport for 10 million won.

They introduced the hat, “This is a hat worn by BTS Jungkook. It can’t be obtained even with money.” They then attached their Ministry of Foreign Affairs employee card to the post.

When the post became controversial, they deleted it and turned themselves in to the police. The prosecution, which received the case, summarily indicted them with a fine of 1 million won after deliberation by the Citizen Prosecutorial Committee.
