BTS member Jin‘s older brother has stepped up to protect the privacy of his family.
Recently, a BTS fan account on Instagram posted a video of Jin during his private schedule while having a meal with his father at a restaurant. The video, reportedly taken by someone who didn’t even recognize Jin initially, spread rapidly across social media platforms.
As the video started getting more attention, Jin’s brother stepped in to protect his father’s privacy. He left a comment under the post, asking the OP (Original Poster) to delete the video.
ARMYs go to work quickly, spreading awareness about Jin’s brother’s request. The OP eventually removed the post, and even though it was reshared by ARMYs on other social media platforms, most of them took it down as well.
Seokjin’s brother is asking whoever filmed Jin to delete the video because he doesn’t want their father’s images to spread. So, to everyone who shared it, please delete it.
Let’s respect their privacy! https://t.co/NikRsPRgsI pic.twitter.com/xK84Ri02Du
