Afterwards, Tom shared how wonderful it was to see Jin's family sharing a meal, appreciating the close bond. The two then shared a heartfelt hug, wrapping up the memorable video.
This brief clip quickly went viral and captured the hearts of fans worldwide. Not only did BTS' Jin meet the Hollywood legend, but he also made sure his family got to meet him, too—a truly touching gesture.

Indian YouTuber 'Pooh in Korea's video at 'Jungkook's house' slammed as BTS star becomes victim of Chinese sasaeng
The global BTS fandom, ARMY, celebrated the return of more members on June 10 and 11, marking another step closer to a full group reunion. With Jin, J-Hope, RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook now discharged, fans eagerly await the return of SUGA, who is currently serving as a public service worker due to a past shoulder injury. He is scheduled to complete his service on June 21, 2025. However, the joy surrounding BTS' near-complete reunion was dampened when news broke that a Chinese sasaeng (obsessive fan) had attempted to enter Jungkook's home just hours after his military discharge. As ARMYs voiced their concern, many began directing their anger toward an Indian YouTuber known as 'Pooh in Korea.' Chinese stalker attempts to enter Jungkook's home On June 12, a woman in her 30s was caught attempting to break into BTS Jungkook's residence and was immediately apprehended by Seoul's Yongsan Police. According to The Korea Times, the suspect—identified as a Chinese national—was taken into custody on charges of attempted trespassing. Who is 'Pooh in Korea' and why is she being criticized? Indian content creator Poonam Naruka, known online as Pooh in Korea, is a South Korea-based YouTuber and fashion/beauty blogger. Her channel often focuses on life in Seoul and K-beauty trends, but she's recently come under fire for frequently posting content related to the residential areas of BTS members. Just five months ago, she uploaded a video titled "Moving into BTS Jungkook and J-Hope's Apartment Complex." Following backlash, she edited the caption to clarify: "For some people that didn't understand: It's not the same flat JK or J-Hope lived in (someone mentioned that JK has already sold his flat years back, I didn't know about it so sorry about that). It's the same apartment complex, which has hundreds of flats in it. Second, nothing illegal is shown here." But this wasn't the only time her content sparked concern. Other videos on her channel include: "Visited BTS Jimin and Jungkook's Home in Busan" "24-Hour BTS Challenge + I Saw Jin at BTS Festa" "Visited BTS Jimin and RM's Neighborhood" And these are just a few examples. The backlash has intensified, with many accusing her of encouraging invasive behavior and potentially revealing sensitive locations associated with the members. As news of the Jungkook stalking incident spread, many ARMYs took to social media, especially X (formerly known as Twitter) to express concern that such content may encourage sasaeng behavior, potentially giving obsessive fans clues about BTS members' whereabouts. Calls to report and take down her channel have since intensified, with fans urging greater respect for the idols' privacy. Can we do something to get rid of her??? Hybe should sue this bitch first! These people are one of the main reason why such things are happen in the first place. More about BTS The 2025 BTS FESTA, set to take place on June 13–14 at KINTEX in Goyang, South Korea, will mark the group's first official public reunion. Celebrated as a heartfelt homecoming, the event is poised to unite fans worldwide and kick off BTS' highly awaited new chapter.
