The Seoul Central District Court issued a summary order of a fine of 1 million won on April 28 against a former Ministry of Foreign Affairs employee who was briefly charged with embezzlement.
Recently, according to legal circles on May 3, Judge Park So Jung of the 2nd Criminal Division of the Seoul Central District Court issued a summary order of a fine of 1 million won on April 28 to the former Ministry of Foreign Affairs employee who was briefly charged with embezzlement.
Previously in October last year, this employee posted on a thrift trading website that they would sell the hat that Jungkook left after visiting the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to get a passport made for 10 million won.
The employee introduced the hat, "This is the hat worn by BTS Jungkook. It cannot be obtained even with money.” They then attached a Ministry of Foreign Affairs employee card to the post. When the post became controversial, this employee deleted it and turned himself in to the police. The procuratorate who received the case briefly charged him with a fine of 1 million won after deliberation by the Citizens' Prosecutors Committee.
Meanwhile in 2011, Jungkook auditioned for the South Korean talent show "Superstar K" during his audition in Daegu. Despite not being selected, Jungkook received casting offers from seven entertainment companies and eventually chose to become a trainee under Big Hit Entertainment after seeing RM. In order to practice his dance skills in preparation for debut, Jungkook went to Los Angeles during the summer of 2012 to receive dance training from Movement Lifestyle. In June 2012, Jungkook appeared in Jo Kwon's "I'm Da One" music video and also worked as a backup dancer for Glam prior to his debut.
Whereas last year Jungkook succeeded in becoming the first South Korean artist to release an official song for the FIFA World Cup soundtrack with "Dreamers", which he later performed at the 2022 FIFA World Cup Opening Ceremony. Jungkook's solo song was also successful on streaming platforms, with "Dreamers", " Stay Alive", and "Left and Right" each broke the record for the highest debut song by a Korean soloist on the Spotify Global chart.
