Hello K-pop lovers. Y’all would have heard about the alleged leak of BTS member Jimin’s mail. It was about the property seizure documents which were reported by BizKorea and Allkpop recently. ARMY had been furious over the privacy breach that happened which was apparently due to a mistake on the company’s part. Big Hit Music had released a statement saying that Jimin was not at fault for the seizure of his property at One Hannam which has a host of luxurious properties. The company said that it happened mistakenly as some staff was supposed to take the mails to Jimin. ARMYs were wondering how the details of the document notice got leaked since to obtain that, one needs to have the person’s social security number. It left ARMYs wondering if someone has Jimin’s social security number already. Well, this is truly scary as leaking personal information is a breach of one’s privacy. Unfortunately, Jimin is not the only one who faced privacy breaches. Let’s have a dekko at more K-pop Idols whose privacy was breached.
