A woman in her 40s was arrested for trespassing at the Seoul home of BTS member Jungkook. This incident occurred on August 30, 2025, and marks the second break-in attempt at his residence in recent months. The intrusion happened just one day before Jungkook’s birthday and shortly after he shared a mini house tour with fans during a live broadcast. The event has raised serious concerns about the safety and privacy of the global music star.
Second Trespassing Incident at Jungkook’s Home
The Yongsan Police Station in Seoul confirmed the arrest of a woman identified as Ms. A. She allegedly entered the parking lot of Jungkook’s residence in Yongsan-gu by following a vehicle inside. A security guard monitoring CCTV footage noticed the suspicious activity and immediately reported it to the police. Upon her arrest, the woman gave inconsistent statements, claiming she entered because it was her “friend’s house.” Authorities are investigating her motives and the exact circumstances of the incident .
This is not the first time Jungkook’s home security has been compromised. In June, a Chinese woman in her 30s was arrested for attempting to break into the same residence. That incident occurred on June 11, the very day Jungkook was discharged from his mandatory military service. She was caught repeatedly trying to input the door lock password and was later sent to prosecutors for attempted trespassing .
Connection to Recent House Tour Live Stream
The timing of the latest intrusion is notable. Just a day earlier, on August 29, Jungkook had surprised fans by giving a mini tour of his home during a live broadcast on Weverse. He showed various areas, including his TV setup, the stairs and layout of his apartment, and his gym area. Fans expressed their delight at seeing his living space, with many noting how the home suited his personality .
However, this act of openness may have inadvertently heightened risks. Some fans worry that sharing details about his home, even briefly, could encourage intrusive behavior from obsessive individuals. The recent trespassing incident has led to discussions about the challenges idols face in balancing fan interaction with personal safety .
History of Privacy Invasions and Fan Reactions
Jungkook has faced multiple privacy invasions over the years. These include unsolicited food deliveries to his home, strangers waiting outside his gym, and even being followed during private vacations. In one disturbing instance, a foreign fan secretly filmed him during a private dinner and took a paper cup he had used .
Fans worldwide have expressed outrage and concern over the repeated intrusions. Many took to social media to demand stricter security measures and stronger legal consequences for stalkers.
“Thats so scary 🙁 they should really start suing these stalkers including the ones who spread his home address on youtube this is so infuriating ugh he doesn’t deserve this 💔”
“I am so sick and tired of this… Why can’t Kookie have peace and then because of these situations we who respect and love him, lose more than win. I seriously hope that Kookie is okay.”
“Jungkook sweetheart it’s time for you to gone ahead higher top notch 24 hour security team cause this is ridiculous the man couldn’t even go to his house when he first got out of the military because someone was outside his house.”
Jungkook’s Previous Appeals for Privacy
Jungkook has repeatedly asked fans to respect his boundaries. In December 2023, during a Weverse live stream, he addressed seeing YouTube clips that exposed details of his home. He explicitly told stalkers not to visit and asked fans not to send parcels to his residence or military base. In May 2023, he made a post on Weverse pleading with fans to stop sending food to his home, stating he would not eat it and would take action if it continued .
Ongoing Safety Concerns and Industry Implications
All seven BTS members have recently returned to South Korea after spending time in the United States working on their upcoming album. With the group preparing for a full reunion in 2026, their heightened visibility brings increased attention. The recurring security breaches at Jungkook’s home highlight a broader issue within the K-pop industry regarding fan culture and idol safety .
South Korean authorities are being urged to take stronger action against stalking and intrusion laws to better protect public figures. The two recent trespassing cases at Jungkook’s home are still under investigation .
