04 March,2026 04:22 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentProsecutors in South Korea have formally indicted a Brazilian woman in her 30s for allegedly stalking Jungkook, a member of global K pop group BTS, and repeatedly showing up at his home in Seoul, according to legal authorities. Brazilian woman indicted for stalking Jungkook The Seoul Western District Prosecutors’ Office said the woman was charged last week with violating the Act on Punishment of Stalking Crimes and with trespassing at Jungkook’s residence. She is currently being held in custody as the case proceeds to trial. Prosecutors allege that the suspect visited the singer’s home around 20 to 23 times between early December and early January. During those visits, she reportedly rang his doorbell hundreds of times, waited near the property, and left letters and other mail. Investigators described the behavior as persistent and distressing, stating that it went beyond enthusiastic fandom and met the legal definition of stalking under Korean law. Authorities said police had previously imposed emergency protective measures, including an order barring her from coming within 100 meters of Jungkook’s home. Despite that restriction, she allegedly returned to the residence at least once more, leading officials to seek stronger legal action. The woman was first arrested in December after being found near the property and was later detained again in January following renewed attempts to approach the residence. Prosecutors subsequently requested and obtained an arrest warrant. All about the case During questioning, the suspect reportedly admitted to many of the actions outlined by investigators but claimed her intentions were not malicious. She was quoted as saying she acted “out of love for Jungkook” and insisted she did not mean to cause harm. However, prosecutors emphasized that personal feelings do not justify repeated intrusions or violations of protective orders. An official involved in the case stated that her “love based motivation does not negate the seriousness of the conduct.” The case has once again drawn attention to concerns over celebrity privacy and safety in South Korea, particularly as major entertainment figures continue to attract intense public attention both domestically and internationally.
