While the members of the group BTS are fulfilling their military duties at different times, a story has emerged about a Brazilian woman who avoided a robbery thanks to a photo of BTS's eldest member Jin (real name Kim Seokjin) attached to her cellphone.

According to Brazilian media outlet RIC Mais on the 19th (local time), Natali (21), who lives in Paran?, Brazil, encountered a robber at a bus stop in the S?o Jos? dos Pinhais area of Curitiba earlier this month.

Natali said, "The robber who took my phone looked it over and then found the photo attached to the back. After seeing the photo, the robber returned the phone and ran away."

The photo Natali had attached to the back of her phone was of BTS's Jin in military uniform. As a BTS fan, Natali carried the photo of Jin, who is currently serving in the military, on the back of her phone. She added, "I think the robber thought, 'If her boyfriend is a soldier, it would be a big problem if I steal this.'"

Natali's story has become a hot topic among ARMYs worldwide, including in Brazil, with many saying, "As expected of BTS."

Netizens who heard the story responded with comments such as, "Seokjin really pulled it off," "I should set a soldier's photo as my wallpaper when I go abroad," "As expected, ARMYs are saved by BTS," and "Saving someone just with a photo."

Meanwhile, Jin, a member of BTS, enlisted in the military on December 13 last year, the earliest among the members. He is currently serving as an instructor at the Army's 5th Division Recruit Training Battalion and was recently promoted early to corporal after becoming a special warrior. Jin's scheduled discharge date is June 12, 2024.
