A Brazilian woman has been sentenced to one year in prison after repeatedly visiting the home of BTS member Jungkook despite receiving multiple warnings from South Korean police to stay away from the K-pop star’s residence.

According to international media reports, the woman was found guilty of persistently approaching Jungkook’s home and ignoring official instructions prohibiting her from returning to the property. Authorities concluded that her repeated actions amounted to harassment and posed a disturbance to the singer’s privacy and security.

The woman’s identity has not been made public. Reports state that the first known incident occurred in December last year, when she allegedly followed Jungkook to his residence. During that visit, she reportedly attempted to enter the property without permission and left photographs and handwritten letters at the house, causing disruption.

The situation escalated on December 13 when the woman allegedly followed a food delivery worker to gain access to the area surrounding Jungkook’s home. According to investigators, she repeatedly rang the singer’s doorbell an astonishing 133 times before police arrived at the scene and arrested her.

Although she was taken into custody, the woman was released the following day after receiving a formal warning. Police instructed her not to return to Jungkook’s residence or attempt to contact him again. However, authorities said she ignored those directions and continued visiting the property.

Reports indicate that despite repeated interventions from law enforcement officers, the woman continued travelling to the BTS member’s home over the following weeks. As a result, police referred the case to prosecutors in February, recommending legal action due to her repeated violations of police orders.

During court proceedings, prosecutors revealed that the woman had visited Jungkook’s residence approximately 22 times despite being warned to stay away. The court heard that her repeated appearances caused ongoing concern and required continued police involvement.

After reviewing the evidence, the court found the woman guilty of repeatedly violating police instructions and engaging in persistent behaviour that infringed upon the artist’s privacy. She was sentenced to one year in prison for failing to comply with official warnings and continuing to visit the singer’s residence.

According to reports, the woman still has the right to appeal the verdict. However, if the appeal is unsuccessful and the conviction is upheld, she could also face deportation from South Korea after serving her sentence.

The case has once again highlighted the growing issue of celebrity stalking and the challenges public figures face in protecting their personal lives. K-pop stars, including BTS members, are among the most globally recognised entertainers, attracting millions of dedicated fans worldwide. While the vast majority of fans respect artists’ privacy, a small number engage in obsessive behaviour that can threaten the safety and well-being of celebrities.

South Korean authorities have increasingly taken legal action against stalking and harassment in recent years, particularly following the introduction of stricter anti-stalking laws. These measures are designed to protect victims from repeated unwanted contact and ensure that violations are met with appropriate legal consequences.

The court’s decision sends a strong message that persistent harassment and disregard for legal warnings will not be tolerated, regardless of the individual’s intentions. It also reinforces the importance of respecting the privacy and personal boundaries of public figures, who are entitled to safety and security outside of their professional lives.
