As fans know, Jungkook bought a two-story house in Itaewon-dong in November 2021 for 7.6 billion won with a floor area of 637 square meters. By the end of 2024, his house was completed and put into use.
Despite serving in the military at the same time, he still made a surprise live broadcast during his vacation to introduce the interior of the house he moved into.
At that time, Jungkook said, "There’s already been news of my moving to a new place and the completion of my house on YouTube. Since I moved, I hope there won’t be people coming to my house. I’d really appreciate it."
But he didn't expect that, despite his plea, he still bitterly suffers being a victim of stalking on the day of his discharge. At around 11:20 p.m. on the 11th, the Yongsan Police Station in Seoul arrested a 30-Chinese-womanfor allegedly trying to break into the male idol's home after repeatedly pressing the pαѕѕword of the front door.
Ms. A was arrested by the ρσℓι¢є after receiving reports from people around her and is said to have stated that she came to кσяєα to see Jungkook after he was discharged from the military. The ρσℓι¢є are currently investigating the specific details of the incident.
Not stopping there, a later post on X ѕнσ¢кed fans even more when they learned about the situation Jungkook had to face on his first day back as an idol.
A fan wrote on X that she and her sisters were the ones who reported Ms. A to the ρσℓι¢є. It is worth noting that she said “went there (Jungkook's house)” after “having dinner”, “many ARMY's pαѕѕing by” or “didn't do anything to harm him".
Fans realized that not just one but many people, including the above writer had followed Jungkook at home within 48 hours of his discharge. Although reporting the intruder to the ρσℓι¢є to protect Jungkook was a good action, OP was criticized for coming to Jungkook's address. She's the same as all other stalkers.
OP's revelations made ARMYs extremely angry when Jungkook's home area was seriously invaded, especially when he had just been discharged from the army. Fans also reported the accounts that were said to be sasaeng fans to Big Hit:
- What were u doing there urself? How many of u fr3@ks were there on D-1 of him being out? Idc with ur " but we were just out, not trying to trespαѕѕ sh!t" It's someone's house, not a fvckin tourist spot for u to roam & take pics! Y'all should be arrested fr!
- This is not acceptable in any form…. Thanks for reporting the weirdo that got arrested but just walking by his house as if it’s a tourist attraction or in the hope of seeing him is no different than being a stalker.. He begged us to refrain to do so
- They expect us to believe they were just walking by, if your purpose wasn’t to go to Jungkook house you wouldn’t know this woman was suspicious
The folks “walking by” in an attempt to see him are just as complicit as the ones trying to enter, leave him & his property alone
- This is soooo scary for god sake please I beg leave jungkook alone
- WTf disgusting crazy psychos
- Id report that that account for stalk8ng and lying
- It hasn't been 48 HOURS since jungkook came out of the military & a dumb вιт¢н already tried breaking into his house but got arrested?? I'M GONNA BURN THE WHOLE PLANET
- Do you live in the neighborhood? Why are you walking by his house? Thank you for reporting her but unless. you live in that neighborhood, aren't you violating his requests too?
- It's not about harming.. it's about giving him space and leave him alone. How would you feel if people would constantly walk by your house in the hope of seeing you? It's the definition of stalker
This is not the first time Jungkook has faced this incident. In 2023, Jungkook left a warning message on the fan platform Weverse when sasaengs sent him home delivery food.
In addition to Jungkook, V also experienced a similar situation when a נαραиese woman followed him to the elevator to his apartment and asked him to sign a marriage certificate.
The stalking crimes against BTS members have been going on for years. In response, management company Big Hit Music warned that they would "with a no-tolerance policy to stalking crimes that disturb our artist," but the consequence continues.
