BTS Jungkook faced two separate home invasion attempts by women this year, though the outcomes of the cases differed.
The first incident involved a Korean woman in her 40s, who trespassed in the parking lot of Jungkook’s Yongsan Ward home in Seoul around 11:20 PM KST on August 30. Police responded to a report of the intrusion and took her into custody.
According to authorities, the case was forwarded to the prosecution on October 14 for trespassing and violating anti-stalking laws, with updates reported on October 22.
In a separate incident on June 11, the day Jungkook was discharged from his military service, a Chinese woman in her 30s approached his home late at night. She attempted to open the keypad door lock multiple times before police arrived and apprehended her. She told authorities that she had traveled from China to see Jungkook following his military discharge.
The Seoul District Prosecutors’ Office, which handled this case, decided to drop charges against the Chinese woman, noting that she had not actually entered the property and was considered a low risk for reoffending, having returned to her home country.
These incidents have reignited concerns over Jungkook’s safety and privacy. Fans are calling for stricter legal measures against the remaining offender to prevent similar incidents in the future.
