A former employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs tries to sell BTS’s Jungkook hat. Jungkook is the youngest member of the South Korean boy band BTS. He is the vocalist of the group. Recently a former employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs tried to sell Jungkook’s hat.

The employee tried to sell the hat for 10 million won. BTS’s Jungkook has an extreme fan following which intrigued the ex-Ministry of Foreign Affairs employee to take up this step.

The person asserted that Jungkook left the hat in the waiting area when BTS went to the Passport Division to get their passports and now they own it because no one called or came to claim it for six months after it was recorded as lost property.

However, it was discovered that neither the National Police Agency nor the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had received a report of the hat as lost.

The individual removed the post once it started gaining controversy and surrendered himself to the police in the Yongin City of Gyeonggi Province.

The Korean media stated that the police said, “We charged A with embezzlement of lost articles. We have concluded investigations and A has admitted to the allegations. We are further looking into the legal basis if we should charge him with occupational embezzlement instead.”

Later on, BTS’s agency HYBE Entertainment also gave a statement that Jungkook had indeed lost his hat at that place (Ministry of Foreign Affairs). As a result of the online selling post, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs received a lot of criticism however, it was confirmed later on that the person who posted the article is not their employee anymore.

With BTS, Jungkook has recorded three solo songs, “Begin” in 2016, “Euphoria” in 2018, and “My Time” in 2020, all of which have reached the top 100 on the Gaon Digital Chart in South Korea.

He was also a part of the American singer-songwriter Charlie Puth‘s 2022 song “Left and Right,” which peaked at number 22 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. In 2019, at MTV Millennial Awards Jungkook won the title of Global Instagrammer.
