Since becoming famous, BTS members have been constantly invaded by privacy. This makes their life difficult, even scarier.
That's why they always protect their family's private life. It's rare for the members' families to be revealed and even ARMYs try to protect BTS's family.
However, the fact that the address of Jungkook's grandmother was revealed by the city government made both him and ARMYs extremely angry:
Most ARMYs know that Jungkook is from Busan city before moving to Seoul for his artistic activities. It was also the family residence and even his grandmother's house. Information about the address and whereabouts of Jungkook's family is always controlled so as not to be revealed to the public.
But as reported by Busan Ilbo, the Yeonsan Village Social Welfare Center and the Yeonje District Community Security Council in Busan City have released a new map of Yeonsan Village. In this tourist map, in addition to public places, there is also a specific address that is the old house of Jungkook's grandmother.
Specifically, this place appears on the map with the caption "The house where Jungkook's grandmother (BTS) used to live". The Yeonsan Village Social Welfare Center also explained this: “When making the village map, we were suggested that there should be some interesting elements. Therefore, we decided to list more locations related to the idol”
But according to reports, the local government didn't ask Jungkook and his family for any permission when the location of the house was revealed. Although this house is currently vacant, the fact that many people come to visit causes serious consequences for the lives of the people here.
Since this is a village for the elderly, many residents have complained about the number of BTS fans coming. It has become an invasion of privacy and peace of the place as young people constantly disturb the residents the exact location of the house.
Meanwhile, many people consider this to be an invasion of privacy, and criticize the local government for not taking it seriously when making this decision. According to the newspaper, Jungkook was furious when the private information of one of his family members was leaked.
After receiving negative feedback, Yeonje City Hall changed the map. However, to this day, many people still come to visit this empty house.
