BTS was harmed by airport staff, sold information for profit, Korean police intervened

According to Korean media, an employee of an international airline was caught selling flight reservation information of BTS and other celebrities.

The information was released by the cybercrime unit of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency. South Korean police said they are investigating a 30-year-old woman (A) who works for an international airline. This person is accused of accessing and disclosing hundreds of flight information from 2023 to 2024.

A, with direct access to the internal booking system, allegedly used the airline's software to search for celebrities' names and dates of birth, thereby obtaining confidential flight information, including seat numbers.

She then sold this information to customers, with the BTS information fetching a higher price. Investigators estimate that she sold more than 1,000 sets of data, earning more than 10 million won (about $7,000). A admitted that she initially shared the information to help acquaintances, but later began selling the data for profit.

A said she initially shared the information to help acquaintances, but then began selling the data for profit. K-pop stars and other celebrities have long been targeted by crazed fans who try to obtain personal travel information. The case raises serious concerns about aviation security related to unauthorized access to passenger records.

Authorities are expanding their investigation to identify other individuals involved in the sale and distribution of celebrity flight details.

BTS is currently the top boy band in Korea, although they have been quiet for a long time due to the two members RM and V joining the military. Recently, on February 23, V posted on Instagram some photos revealing life in the army. The male idol's healthy, strong appearance has attracted the attention of fans. "I will take good care of myself and come back to you healthy," V promised.

Despite being away from the spotlight, V has proven his strong influence in the music industry. According to Spotify, his duet Winter Ahead with Park Hyo Shin has been on Billboard's Global chart (including the US) for 10 consecutive weeks, reaching number 186 on February 15.

Last month, V also caused a stir on social media when he suddenly posted a series of stories sharing his favorite songs, including Stay A Little Longer by Rosé (Blackpink). This immediately caused a storm, especially since he rarely interacted with Rosé publicly, sparking a series of speculations from the online community.

V is currently serving in the Military Police Special Forces of the 2nd Army Corps in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province. He is scheduled to be discharged on June 10, 2025. With only 107 days left, fans are counting down the hours to welcome the male idol's return.

RM, V, Jungkook, Jimin, and Suga will all complete their military service this June. The members have arranged their enlistments close together to shorten BTS's hiatus and have begun teasing a return to full group activities.

Jin, who was the first to complete his military service, began solo activities after his discharge. J-Hope, who completed his service last October, has filled the void in the group with solo concerts and album releases. J-Hope will soon be appearing on variety shows such as MBC's I Live Alone and JTBC's Please Take Care of My Refrigerator.

As their military hiatus comes to an end, BTS and their fans are eagerly awaiting their reunion. The group has topped the list of most anticipated artists of 2025. BTS's comeback is expected to make the Kpop market more exciting.
