There are many ways for fans to express their love for their idols. From streaming music, buying albums, following through social media to attending live performances, events, giving gifts... Fans can express their love for their idols in many different ways, but acts that violate the artist's privacy are taboo in the fandom.

As public figures, although surrounded by the halo of fame, in return, stars also lose some of their personal freedom. Becoming an idol has many troubles that they have to face, but the most haunting are probably the times when they are surrounded, have cameras pointed directly at their faces, or even have physical contact.

The reason why fans invade their privacy like this is said to be related to the desire to stand out in today's competitive society. The actions of “extreme fans” come from the desire to express themselves, to prove that they are “special” fans or have a close bond with the idol.

Recently, this situation in the BTS fan group has become increasingly alarming when j-hope was continuously groped by overzealous fans during concerts or Jin was υиєχρє¢тє∂ly hugged and kissed. True ARMYs call on other fans to be polite and respectful to their idols and there are many opinions that idols can cancel “fanservice” or close contact events to prevent similar situations from happening.

Faced with this situation, Jin chose a different solution in the latest Hi-touch event, within the framework of promoting his newly released solo album “Echo”. Before the close contact event with fans began, he had a few words of caution for the ARMYs at the event.

“Everyone !!! It's fine wn you taking pic/video of me when it's from your seat, but if you taking pic/recording when you coming like this, I'll come out ugly~ I'll get stress if I see those kind of pics ya know~ So when you come here please put your phone in your pocket~”, Jin said politely with adorable attitude.

In response to Jin’s subtle reminder, the fans responded “Yes” in unison, warming up the atmosphere. Without having to cancel the live event or make any threats, he gave a friendly yet serious message that made the fans with bad intentions feel ashamed and give up.

After the video from the event was shared, netizens couldn’t help but praise Jin for his tactful handling. Jin has always been known for his high EQ communication sкιℓℓs:

- Jin will always find a way to be direct without making the people feel bad. This is what i like the most of him.
