13-Year-Old School Girls Attempt To Travel To Korea Without Passports — All For BTS

Ill-advised, but understandable.

Many K-Pop fans have done something wild to see or support their faves. Usually, this is completely relatable, like the fan who got in an accident while traveling to see BTS‘s Suga

…or the one who watched a Jungkook livestream while on a rollercoaster.

Recently, a group of school girls had their travel plans go awry after being discovered!

According to local news sources, three 13-year-old schoolgirls from the Karur district of India decided to fool their families on January 4. Instead of heading to school, they planned to take a ship to Korea.

The girls planned for their journey, bringing a change of clothes and heading to Chennai Central Station, even booking a hotel room. Their ultimate goal was to reach Seoul and to meet the members of BTS eventually.

Fortunately, the trio ran into an issue while trying to board a ship from Visakhapatnam — they did not have passports! The trio also only had around Rs14,000 (around $168 USD) between the three, which would have caused issues.

Thankfully, at this obstacle, the group decided to head home, boarding a train from Chennai to Erode, during which they missed their train. It was at this point they were interviewed, and their parents were notified of their location.

The trio’s parents initially filed a police report the afternoon they began their journey. According to child welfare agents, BTS were their inspiration.

We learnt that the girls knew the minutest details about the BTS band and the stars, the way they dressed… they had bought shoes similar to the ones used by the pop band stars.

This story ended well with the families receiving counseling sessions and both the girls and their parents being advised on the future.

While this is not recommended, we can understand where the girls were coming from!
