South Korean police have initiated an investigation into a Japanese woman in her 50s, on suspicion of attempting to break into the private residence of BTS member Jungkook. The woman is suspected of repeatedly pressing the digital door lock at the entrance of the singer’s home between November 12 and 14. The Seoul Yongsan Police Station is currently investigating the matter on suspicion of attempted trespass.
This latest incident marks the third reported breach of the artist’s privacy at his home address this year alone, highlighting ongoing security concerns for the global star. The most serious preceding case involved a South Korean woman in her 40s who was apprehended after trespassing into his home’s parking lot in August. Her case was later forwarded to prosecutors on charges of trespass and violating the Stalking Punishment Act.
Before that, in June, a Chinese woman in her 30s who attempted to gain entry by manipulating the entrance keypad received a suspended indictment after prosecutors concluded her attempt was incomplete and she posed a low risk of reoffending.
BTS Jungkook Addresses Ongoing Home Intrusions
In the wake of the earlier security breaches, Jungkook publicly addressed the issue during a live broadcast, expressing his disappointment and issuing a stern warning to potential trespassers. He stated that while his fandom — referred to as “Army” — is like family, such invasive behavior is regrettable.
Jungkook explicitly warned that his property is under surveillance, noting, “Everything is recorded, so the evidence is all there and you’ll just get dragged away [by law enforcement].” He also emphasized that anyone entering his private parking lot without permission would be trapped until authorities arrived, urging, “If you don’t want to end up at a police station, don’t ever come in.”
Authorities are now working to confirm the full details of the latest incident involving the Japanese woman, and will be interviewing Jungkook as part of their investigative procedure.
