The person who took the video only realized it was Jin after the restaurant owner mentioned it. The video showed Jin and his father’s face, which caused concern among fans.
Brother’s Request and Fan Response

Sad for this ARMY who was called out by Jin's brother for posting a video of Jin and their father while eating which is during their private time. You'll be known to their family as someone who invaded their privacy. I guess next time, keep it to yourself 🤷🏻♀️
Fans, known as ARMY, reacted quickly to Kim Seok Jung’s request. They spread awareness about respecting privacy, reminding people that BTS members’ families should not be exposed. Social media posts urged people to delete and report the video. Fans also educated new ARMYs about BTS’ respect for privacy. They emphasized that sharing unauthorized images or videos of family members goes against BTS’ values.

Please respect Idol's private life and delete the video Jin's brother claiming regarding about this video. Whoever posted their video please delete it. Can't they even spend time with their family. Please leave them alone. They are not to be publicity for everything they do. pic.twitter.com/vncpLlVk8a
