On the 1st, Jungkook took to social media (SNS) to share glimpses of his daily life and spend time interacting with fans. While answering questions from fans, he once again showed his special affection for ARMY by spontaneously announcing that if anyone spotted him jogging along the Han River, he would take a selfie with them. In fact, later that same day, numerous fans managed to encounter Jungkook during his run and were able to take photos with him.

Jungkook also gave fans permission to upload their photos with him to social media, continuing his trademark friendly and approachable interactions. The gesture, which reflects his long-standing willingness to communicate openly with fans, was warmly received by supporters around the world.

However, one of the selfies that quickly went viral soon became the center of controversy after the woman pictured with Jungkook was accused of being a stalker who had allegedly even planned her move to South кσяєα in order to get closer to the idol. A person claiming to know her personally posted a lengthy exposé online, attempting to "reveal the truth" behind what appeared to be a chance encounter!

According to information shared by the whistleblower, the woman in the photo is Elena Beyazkaya, who was born in 2008 and is originally from Türkiye. The source claimed that she had been a fan of Jungkook long before moving to South кσяєα. In 2024, she reportedly uploaded a photo of herself posing in front of Jungkook's residence and shared it on social media. When criticized for allegedly stalking and invading the singer's privacy, she responded by saying that the two "live in the same neighborhood."

This claim became one of the key reasons behind accusations that she had deliberately positioned herself near Jungkook. The whistleblower wrote: "She graduated from Kimpo University in August 2025 in a level 4 Language course. Which leads me to believe that she moved to same neighbourhood afterwards due to the 2 HOUR COMMUTE from Kimpo to Jungkook's home address. Now she attends KMU, which is a 40-50 minute commute from where she lives. IDK about yall but the only reason I'd do a daily 50 minute commute is if there was soмєтнing near my place of residency that I didn't wanna miss."

The person behind the exposé further declared, "If jungkook can't have privacy neither can you Freak," before urging fellow fans: "Don't engage and fuel them. Ignore them to best of your ability, because if they don't have anyone feeding into them, they will get bored and stop."

Meanwhile, after his Han River run and photo session with ARMYs as previously promised, Jungkook posted another Instagram Story late that night that drew considerable attention. The message read: "I never intended for you to wait near my house. I will expose this." In the accompanying video, Jungkook repeatedly threw powerful punches toward the camera with a visibly intense expression, appearing as though he was venting his frustration. Many fans interpreted the clip as a strong warning directed at sasaengs who continue to wait around and monitor his residence.

Invasions of Jungkook's privacy have become a recurring problem since June of last year. On the day of his military discharge, a Chinese woman was reportedly caught attempting to gain access to his home by repeatedly entering door pαѕѕcodes. Then, in August, a кσяєαn woman was arrested after being caught trespαѕѕing in the parking area of his residence. In November, an Arab stalker allegedly remained outside Jungkook's home for nearly a week, causing disturbances throughout the neighborhood and prompting nearby residents to file complaints. From December of last year to January this year, a вяαzιℓian stalker reportedly visited his residence a total of 23 times, rang the doorbell hundreds of times, and even attempted to enter the property through an unlocked side door.

Following the latest controversy, fans have expressed even greater outrage over those who are taking advantage of Jungkook's kindness while allegedly harboring intentions that could harm him behind the scenes. They commented:

- Brooo....if you were before me...I would have hugged you soo tight!! Thank you for exposing this sh*ts..I was feeling so sad because if this incidence bt now I'm laughing like a maniac

- Cant we donate some money and find someone to stalk them back for a month consistently, maybe they will use the fear learn that stalking others is unethical and inhumane

- I hate stalkers. Just bcoz Jungkook said if you catch me, get selca, these stalkers took it as an opportunity to stalk him and pretend as if they caught him while running. How disgusting this person must be for going and taking her pictures in front of his house. Get this b1tch

- Get real, if the house owner feel annoyed with your present, then it’s wrong and that person should know about that. To stop others to do the same. Member’s private residencies are not tourist sites

- tbh my dream is to go to his house, beat the crap out of those вιт¢нes, and then leave quietly before being deported. He is a human too, people need respect it

- Stalkers outside his home demonstrate the exact same dangerous mindset and capability as many rapists they are one in the same. Anyone who defends that account you definitely need a reality check

- I'm disgusted by the fact that there are people like this who literally move to кσяєα only to be "closer" to bts... like... get a life
