BTS Star Jungkook's Home Stalker Sentenced to Suspended Jail Term

Seoul. A Brazilian woman who repeatedly visited the home of BTS star singer Jungkook, despite warnings, has been sentenced to a suspended jail term by the court.

 The woman rang Jungkook's doorbell 133 times in a single visit.

The woman, whose identity has not been disclosed, began stalking the 28-year-old singer Jungkook since December last year. She even tried to leave letters and pictures at his doorstep out of 'love' for the singer.

A district court in Seoul has sentenced her to one year in jail, suspended for two years. If she does not appeal this court decision, she is likely to be deported from South Korea.

According to court documents, the woman first visited Jungkook's house in Seoul on December 7 last year. There she roamed around the house, threw things inside from the wall, and slipped letters through the door gap. A few days later, she returned and rang the doorbell 133 times, which the court described as the 'extreme of excessive attachment'.

 On December 13, she was arrested by the police while trying to enter the house through the side gate, following a food delivery person. She was released the very next day with a warning not to come to the area again, but she ignored it.

As her visits continued in the following weeks, the police issued an emergency order prohibiting her from coming within 100 meters of Jungkook's house. But she did not stop. Finally, in February, the police sent the case to the public prosecutor.

According to the court, the woman visited Jungkook's house a total of 22 times. Announcing the verdict, the district judge stated that the decision was made considering several lenient factors, including that the risk of the woman committing such an offense again was 'not significant'.

Last year in June, a Chinese woman was arrested for attempting to enter Jungkook's house immediately after returning from military service.
