Åklagare i Seoul har åtalat en brasiliansk kvinna i 30-årsåldern för stalking av K-pop-idolen Jungkook från BTS och olaga intrång i hans bostad. Kvinnan besökte hans hem cirka 20 gånger mellan december och januari, trots ett besöksförbud. Hon uppgav att hennes handlingar berodde på kärlek till sångaren.
En brasiliansk medborgare åtalas efter att upprepade gånger ha riktat sig mot hemmet till BTS-medlem Jungkook i Seouls Yongsan-distrikt. Enligt rapporter från Yonhap News Agency och Herald Economy besökte kvinnan, som endast betecknas som A, Jungkooks bostad cirka 20 till 23 gånger från 7 december 2025 till 4 januari 2026. Hennes handlingar inkluderade att upprepade gånger ringa på dörrklockan, vänta i närheten och lämna brev och post. On December 13, 2025, she allegedly entered the property through a side door that a food delivery driver had briefly opened. She was initially caught and arrested in December but released shortly after. Police issued a restraining order in late December, prohibiting her from approaching within 100 meters of the residence. Despite this, she continued her attempts to visit. Authorities requested an arrest warrant on January 28, 2026, leading to her rearrest on February 10. The Seoul Western District Prosecutors Office indicted her last week on charges of violating the Act on Punishment of Stalking Crimes and trespassing, while she remains in custody. During the investigation, the woman told prosecutors that she acted “out of love for Jungkook” and had no intent to harm the idol, known to fans as the Golden Maknae. Police referred the case to prosecutors in February after her repeated violations. The incident highlights ongoing concerns about fan behavior toward K-pop stars, though no further details on the investigation's progress were provided in the reports.
