A BTS fan has reportedly been arrested for attempting to break into singer Jungkook‘s home – find out more below.
Per a BBC report, the incident took place yesterday (June 11), just hours after the BTS star was discharged from his mandatory South Korean military service.
The woman had allegedly flown in from China to witness the singer’s military discharge yesterday, but later made her way to Jungkook’s apartment in Seoul, where she was caught on camera attempting to punch in number codes on his door lock in an effort to enter the home.
She was arrested around 3:20pm BST. Neither HYBE, Big Hit Music nor Jungkook have commented on the incident. It is currently unclear if the woman will be charged, and the consequences she will face.
Jungkook and his BTS bandmate Jimin were discharged from their respective duties yesterday (June 11) after two years in the South Korean military. Their groupmates RM and V were discharged on Tuesday (June 10).
Jin was discharged last summer, with J-Hope following suit in October. Suga is currently fulfilling his duty as a social service agent – an alternative to military service – and is set to be released later this month. The group are expected to reconvene to plot their comeback following Suga’s return.
BTS went on hiatus in 2022, so that its members could fulfil their mandatory service and “explore some solo projects”. Last month saw Jin release his second solo project, titled ‘Echo’.
Following his discharge, V hinted at BTS’ anticipated band reunion, which is expected at some point this year. “Please wait just a little longer and we will return with a really cool performance,” he said.
During an interview with Apple Music 1 last month (via Billboard), J-Hope explained: “I look forward to June when our members will have completed their service. We will quickly get together and talk about what BTS can do in the future. I think it’s going to be a massive energy.”
Last December, he told Weverse Magazine: “When we’re all back together as a group, it’s going to have a huge impact, and everybody’s going to be watching. I’m excited to see what it’ll feel like when we perform together again. I want to come back in style and say, ‘This is us. This is BTS.’ I can’t speak for everyone, but I can tell you the other members feel the same way.”
