K-Pop Fan Faces Expulsion Over Unhinged Jungkook Stalking
24 Jun
Summary
- Brazilian fan faces deportation for persistent stalking.
- Woman rang K-pop star Jungkook's doorbell 133 times.
- Court sentenced her to suspended prison, potential expulsion.
A fan's persistent stalking of BTS member Jungkook has resulted in a suspended prison sentence and possible deportation from South Korea. The Brazilian woman, who remains unidentified, was found guilty of visiting the K-pop star's Seoul residence multiple times. She first began loitering at his home in December 2025, pushing letters and items over the wall.
During one incident last December, she was arrested for following a food delivery into the property. The court highlighted her "extreme level of obsession," noting she rang Jungkook's doorbell 133 times and visited the property a total of 22 times. Police issued an emergency order restricting her proximity to the home, but it proved ineffective, leading to her referral to prosecutors in February.
This week, a district court in Seoul handed down a one-year prison term, suspended for two years, for her actions. The woman faces expulsion from South Korea unless her appeal is successful. Meanwhile, BTS is currently on tour in Europe.
