A new raid on BTS star Jungkook's home sparks widespread controversy over fan obsession.
The safety of BTS star Jungkook has once again become a front-page concern after a woman attempted to trespass into his home compound in Yongsan, Seoul. The incident occurred at night when the woman, believed to be in her 40s, followed another vehicle into the parking area. Police detained her after she made incoherent statements, claiming she thought it was a friend’s home—a scenario that shocked fans and authorities alike.
This intrusion follows a similar case in June, immediately after Jungkook’s military discharge, when a decades-old Chinese woman was arrested for repeatedly trying passcodes at his residence. Such incidents have become emblematic of the darker side of fan culture, known as sasaeng behavior—ranging from uninvited gift deliveries to unauthorized filming in private settings.
In response, Jungkook's agency BigHit/HYBE issued a firm statement, highlighting its zero-tolerance policy toward any invasion of the artist’s privacy. The agency confirmed full cooperation with legal authorities and pledged to pursue strong legal action against the offender.
Experts say these repeated breaches underscore growing security vulnerabilities faced by high-profile stars. They are calling for strengthened protective measures around celebrity residences and broader awareness among fans about respecting personal boundaries and privacy.
