Jungkook was discharged from the military with Jimin after 18 months of military service yesterday. The two sent their official greetings to fans through the media and a record-breaking live broadcast with 10 million views on Weverse.
On this day, the anticipation for BTS's comeback in general and Jungkook's increased in the fan community. While most of the enthusiasm is positive and brings a joyful atmosphere, it also leads to extreme or even illegal behavior.
This morning, Korean media reported a case of a woman, claiming to be a fan of Jungkook, breaking into his private home last night.
Specifically, this woman is a 30-year-old Chinese. This woman waited in front of Jungkook's house in Yongsan, Seoul since noon and pressed the front door password. At that time, the neighbors discovered and reported it to the police.
Although the police warned her, at 11:20 p.m., she continued the above behavior and was arrested at the police station for reoffending. The Chinese woman confessed to her behavior: "I tried to press the passcode because I thought someone would come out."
Through the police investigation, she said that the purpose of her visit to Korea was to meet Jungkook, who was discharged from the army on June 11. The police are currently continuing to investigate to clarify the incident and carry out legal procedures.
Fortunately, Jungkook was not at his home during the crime, so there was no serious impact. But the house break-in is no longer a story about overzealous fans but has become a violation of the law.
Fans expressed extreme anger when this incident happened on the day Jungkook returned from the army after 2 years. Most fans hope for a heavy punishment for this woman to deter herself and other people with bad intentions:
- Deport her and ban from entering the country. This is so sick
- Please Respect Jungkook. He just discharge, let him enjoy his normal life.
- How terrifying it must have been to hear the sound of constantly pressing the password, absolutely disgusting
- im so :((( this is so concerning and maddening. pls arrest her and keep her away from him
- Those psychos need to leave JK alone! $*#%^ He probably needs to have security 24/7. Poor JK
- There should be a security personnel station in front of his house who’s only job is to shoo away people who stops in front of his house .. no access to the gates, no info on what’s going on inside the estate.. just to make sure no one lingers around there
- Wtf...what a psycho. She could of done anything. What is with some people that go so far for celebrities to the point of breaking the law....like do they think that celebrity will smile and say "awww thank you, would you like something to drink?"
- Please put her in jail for the max time possible. Light sentences will never serve as good enough lessons/warning against other obsessive fans. These type of fans are scary.
- This is so disturbing and scary . On day 1 of his discharge and this already started. I hope this psychopath gets the stringent punishment
- I hope she spends her time in jail for long time. And on the day when he came back. Are you f-ing serious?!
