Jin’s Request At Milan Fashion Week Leads To Criticism Of The Reporters

As fans know, Jin recently flew to Europe for his schedule as a Gucci ambαѕѕador. His appearance at Milan Fashion Week has caused a stir on social media.

In addition to the topics discussing Jin's outstanding beauty, another topic that has attracted attention is his reaction to reporters and paparazzi. While Jin was praised for his actions, the reporters received a lot of criticism, sparking a wave of anger over their work.

Here is the situation that fans and netizens are expressing their opinions enthusiastically:

As a global ambαѕѕador for Gucci, Jin proved his charisma when he appeared at the Fall Winter Fashion Week in Milan (ιтαℓу) on February 25. The male idol's name is the most searched topic related to Milan Fashion Week 2025 worldwide, according to statistics from Google Trends. The most discussed topic of Gucci this week was also Jin's appearance at the show.

In addition, a series of photos capturing Jin's image from moving in the car to sitting down at the event were also widely shared on SNS. As expected of Worldwide Handsome, in Gucci's high-end outfits, his luxurious and elegant appearance made everyone follow him.

Meanwhile, photographer Lim Jae Hyun shared about the moment Jin appeared at the event: "The appearance of Kim Seokjin at Gucci's show caused chaos in Milan". A large crowd of reporters and paparazzi gathered around him to the point that there was almost no space for him to move. The photos capturing the media chasing him tightly made fans admire but also worry about the safety of the Kpop superstar.

Shortly after the photo was posted, another video also caught attention when Jin politely asked the media and photographers to back off, as they seemed to be very close and invading his personal space. Although it can be seen that Jin made the request very politely and with a friendly attitude, the reporters did not respond, which quickly made him flustered.

The crowd not only continued to push and shove and make noise, but also pressed their cameras close to Jin's face to take a few photos of him. Even when the reporters and paparazzi acted beyond the allowed limits, the woman accompanying Jin had to continue asking them to back off until they complied.

Witnessing this moment, fans felt angry at the lack of professionalism of the media. A barrage of criticism quickly poured in on the reporters and paparazzi:

- The reporters and photographers were crowding Seokjin a bit too much that he had to politely ask them to step back and give him more room

- As an introvert watching all of it, it makes ME anxious

- Even my extrovert self was feeling anxious and claustrophobic. What more for him?

- I just hope he had a good day. An introvert in a foreign country is hard

- It would be hard to deal with that kind of crowd wanting a piece of you. Even the look of it is suffocating. Sorry Jin.

-  one thing i've noticed is that foreign media don't seem to care about the celebrities themselves. they're only focused on taking pictures and filming, without considering whether the person has enough space to move or if they might fall due to the crowd

- Are they that deaf? I think theses deaf people are not qualified to be reporters.

- No respect for him, they only care about benefits. Lack of professional ethics

While others praised Jin for speaking up for himself. Usually, artists, even though they feel uncomfortable, rarely dare to speak up in front of the media:

- Jin is a role model in healthy boundary setting. Always polite but firm and αѕѕertive. And he will not be ignored!

- My social anxiety could never, like am really proud of Jin in a serous way,  being an introvert isn't easy and most times people don't understand how hard it's for us because at one point you might feel like drowning, like you can't breathe. so am proud of him

- This shows how excellent his emotional intelligence is.. my baby jinnie I'm so proud of you

- Standing up for yourself in a foreign environment is super difficult. I’m glad he knows he can (and should) stand up for himself when he feels uncomfortable. Looking at how they crowded around him… made even me feel uneasy through a screen

- It's good that he didn't hesitate to ask for more room. He sets boundaries.. Those photographers are really too much.

Not only Jin, but many other celebrities have also been subjected to this rude behavior by the media. This has also raised concerns about the general etiquette of the media and how they crowd celebrities at events to get the perfect photo or a chance to talk, despite not ideal circumstances.
