The group BTS has taken a strong stance against a sasaeng fan who illegally entered member Jungkook's (27, Jeon Jungkook) home.
On the 30th, the agency Big Hit Music announced their position regarding stalking behaviors towards BTS members through the fan communication platform Weverse.
According to Big Hit Music, a police investigation is currently underway regarding a recent incident where someone attempted to illegally enter Jungkook's home. The agency explained that they are actively cooperating with the police investigation by collecting and submitting evidence based on CCTV footage.
The agency emphasized that they are immediately reporting stalking offenders to the police to ensure they can be arrested in the act, and they will respond firmly without any leniency.
Previously, on the 11th, the Yongsan Police in Seoul arrested a 30-year-old Chinese woman, referred to as A, for attempted home invasion at Jungkook's residence. A was caught by the police after repeatedly entering the entrance password of Jungkook's home in Yongsan, Seoul, following reports from the surrounding area.
The day of the incident was also the day Jungkook returned to society after completing his military service. He was discharged alongside member Jimin.
The agency also stated that they have filed complaints regarding malicious posts related to the members that are being made on various online communities and social media.
They mentioned that the results of complaints filed in the third quarter of this year are being processed sequentially, including confirmed fines, and that they will respond meticulously to any future incidents.
Meanwhile, BTS, which Jungkook is a part of, has now all completed their military service, with Suga being the last to be discharged on the 21st. They are expected to make a full group comeback as early as the second half of this year or at the latest in the first half of next year.
