Police look into repeated attempts to access the singer’s home
A Japanese tourist in her 50s is under investigation in Seoul after allegedly trying multiple times to enter the home of BTS member Jungkook. According to a report by MBN on the 19th, Yongsan Police Station is questioning the woman on suspicion of attempted home invasion.
Police say she pressed the front-door lock at Jungkook’s residence several times between November 12 and 14. It has yet to be confirmed whether she returned to the area afterward. Investigators plan to verify the sequence of events through an interview with the victim.
Not the first intrusion attempt
This case follows earlier incidents involving other individuals attempting to force access into the singer’s home. In June, a Chinese woman in her 30s made an attempt, and in August, a Korean woman in her 40s did the same, prompting public concern about the artist’s safety.
Jungkook addressed the issue at the time during a live broadcast, stating that his home is monitored by CCTV and cautioning that all evidence is preserved. He warned that anyone approaching his residence risks immediate police action.
