BTS’ Jungkook recently became the victim of a deeply unsettling break-in attempt at his home in Seoul, just a day after his return from mandatory military service. On June 12, reports confirmed that a Chinese woman attempted to enter Jungkook’s house, claiming she simply wanted to meet him. The Yongsan Police revealed that the incident took place shortly after his June 11 discharge, sparking major concern among fans and the public alike.
What shocked many was the bizarre and calculated nature of the act. According to CCTV footage shared by fans, the woman waited outside Jungkook’s home for approximately 10 hours. She carried a suitcase with her and, in an unsettling display of comfort, was even seen brushing her teeth on the sidewalk. She also appeared to be attempting to guess the door passcode, according to the video evidence, which was reportedly witnessed by a concerned neighbor.
Fans were quick to express their outrage and disbelief across social media. Many were appalled by the intruder’s audacity, noting how inappropriate and invasive her behavior was. The suitcase and her willingness to loiter outside the house for such a long time indicated a level of obsession that fans described as not just disturbing, but dangerous. Reactions on platforms like X were filled with disbelief, anger, and calls for immediate legal action to ensure Jungkook’s safety.
This incident has once again brought the darker side of fandom into focus. The K-pop industry has long struggled with sasaengs—obsessive fans who cross personal and legal boundaries in their pursuit of idols. Despite years of warnings and calls for change, situations like this continue to occur, putting idols’ mental and physical wellbeing at serious risk.
As of now, BIGHIT MUSIC has not issued a formal statement regarding the break-in attempt. However, fans are urging the agency to take strong legal measures against the perpetrator and to enhance security for Jungkook and other members of BTS. With the group gradually returning to full strength post-military, ensuring their safety is more important than ever.
