A Brazilian woman accused of repeatedly visiting BTS member Jungkook’s home and entering his residence without permission has received a suspended prison sentence in South Korea.

According to legal sources on June 22, the Seoul Western District Court sentenced the woman to one year in prison, suspended for two years, on charges of violating South Korea’s anti-stalking law and trespassing into a residence.

The ruling was delivered on May 8 by Judge Park Ji-won of the court’s Criminal Division 1.

Fan Accused of Repeatedly Visiting Jungkook’s Home

The woman, identified only as A, was accused of visiting Jungkook’s residence in Yongsan District, Seoul, several times in December last year.

Investigators found that she rang the doorbell, stayed near the property, and left mail around the home. On one occasion, she reportedly rang the doorbell dozens of times.

The case drew attention because it involved repeated visits to the private residence of a globally known K-pop artist.

Unauthorized Entry Reportedly Took Place After Delivery Visit

The court also found that A entered Jungkook’s residence on December 13.

According to the investigation, she entered through an open door after a food delivery worker had accessed the building.

She was later arrested at the scene as a current offender.

Stalking Continued Despite Police Warning

After her arrest, police issued a warning and took emergency protective measures.

A was ordered not to approach within 100 meters of Jungkook’s home. However, investigators said she returned near the residence in January and left photos and printed materials.

The court noted that she continued the stalking behavior even after being warned not to approach the victim’s home.

Court Cites Repeated Offense and Victim’s Request for Strict Punishment

In its ruling, the court said the defendant repeated the offense despite being released after receiving a warning.

The court also noted that Jungkook had requested strict punishment.

However, the court handed down a suspended sentence after considering that there was no clear evidence the defendant intended to physically harm the victim. It also said the violation of emergency protective measures was not considered extremely severe.

Case Raises Concerns Over Celebrity Privacy and Safety

The case has once again raised concerns about the privacy and safety of K-pop artists.

As BTS remains one of the most influential groups in the world, incidents involving unauthorized visits to members’ private spaces continue to draw strong reactions from fans and the public.

The ruling highlights the legal risks of stalking behavior and the importance of respecting celebrities’ personal boundaries, even when they are public figures.
