A staff member of Korea Railroad (Korail) is facing disciplinary action after looking up the booking details and personal information of RM, the leader of K-pop superstars BTS.

The railway operator said it conducted an internal investigation after receiving a report that an unnamed worker in the information technology department told a co-worker that he or she had checked RM’s bookings in the Korail system and saw details such as his address and mobile phone numbers.
