Suspected Vaccination at Jin Unit
Allegations of Large Tylenol Leakage Emerge
Military: "Some Charges Denied by Involved Parties"

A nursing officer in the army has been confirmed to be under investigation by military authorities for unauthorized absence from duty to meet BTS member Jin.


According to multiple domestic media reports on the 19th, in January, a nursing officer A from an army unit left her post without permission and visited the 5th Division Recruit Training Battalion where BTS member Jin is serving.


BTS member Jin enlisted in December last year at the 5th Division Recruit Training Battalion located in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi Province, and is currently serving as an instructor.

It is known that Officer A administered the second dose of the epidemic hemorrhagic fever vaccine to Jin at the 5th Division Recruit Training Battalion medical office.


If it is true that Officer A left her post without reporting to superiors, she could face imprisonment or detention for up to one year under the Military Penal Code.


Additionally, Officer A is also suspected of leaking a large quantity of Tylenol from the 28th Division to the 5th Division Recruit Training Battalion.


Regarding this, a Ministry of National Defense official stated, "It is true that Lieutenant A left her post without permission and visited the training battalion where Jin is stationed."


However, the official added, "Some allegations are being denied by the person involved," and "Once the legal investigation results are out, the matter will be handled and disciplined according to laws and regulations."


Upon learning of this, BTS fandom 'ARMY' demanded the agency to make a statement, saying, "After confirming the facts related to the unauthorized actions of a nursing officer from another unit, we demand a zero-tolerance and strong response."


Meanwhile, in March, a Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL) employee was dismissed after it was revealed that he had accessed BTS member RM's personal information without authorization.


Employee B, who was in charge of IT development, used the ticket reservation and sales reference information program to view RM's ticket information, address, phone number, and other personal data 18 times over three years starting from 2019.



B reportedly told colleagues, "I checked RM's reservation details and went to see him in person." KORAIL launched an audit after receiving an internal report from an employee and uncovered the related facts.
