BTS Member Jungkook Faces Obsessive Fan Attempting to Break into His Home
In a recent incident that has sparked concern among fans and security experts alike, a Chinese woman in her thirties was arrested for attempting to break into the apartment of BTS member Jeon "Jungkook" Jung-Kook in Seoul. The arrest took place on June 11, 2025, at approximately 11:30 p.m., shortly after Jungkook completed his mandatory military service.
The Chinese woman, who reportedly traveled from mainland China to celebrate Jungkook's discharge from the South Korean Army, was caught attempting to enter the security code of his apartment door. This incident is not the first of its kind; previous reports indicate a pattern of obsessive fans attempting to reach BTS members through unconventional means. Jungkook, who was discharged on Tuesday, expressed embarrassment about his appearance post-service, noting he did not even put on makeup during the event.
The investigation into the incident is ongoing, with authorities seeking to understand the motivations behind the fan's actions. Jungkook and his bandmate Jimin were among those discharged recently, marking the end of a 18-month mandatory service requirement in South Korea. As the rest of the seven-member BTS group nears the completion of their service, speculation is high about a potential reunion, although no official plans have been announced.
The Korean media have highlighted the growing concern surrounding the behavior of dedicated fans, often referred to as "army," who are willing to go to extreme lengths to connect with their idols. Despite the incident, Jungkook remains focused on his career, with no immediate plans for public appearances until the investigation concludes.
The attempted break-in serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by celebrities who have large fan bases and the importance of maintaining personal safety amidst overwhelming public attention. As Jungkook and his fellow BTS members prepare for the future, the incident underscores the need for heightened security measures and awareness among fans.
