Jungkook Home Invasion 2025: BTS Star Warns Stalkers During Birthday Live Stream
BTS Jungkook issued a stern warning to potential intruders during his September 1st birthday livestream, revealing details about a recent break-in at his Seoul residence that has fans concerned about celebrity safety.
What Happened at Jungkook's House?
A 40-year-old South Korean woman was arrested on August 30, 2025, at 11:20 PM after sneaking into the underground parking lot of Jungkook's Yongsan District home. The woman followed a vehicle into the secure parking area and was caught on surveillance cameras by a security guard, who immediately called police.
When confronted by officers, she claimed she was "visiting a friend's house," referring to the BTS member. This marks the second intrusion at Jungkook's residence in just three months.
Jungkook's Direct Message to Stalkers
During his birthday Weverse livestream, the 28-year-old didn't hold back. "If you come, I'll lock you in. Everything is recorded as evidence, and you'll be dragged away," Jungkook warned viewers. "If you step into my parking lot without my permission, you'll be trapped until I open the door. CCTV is everywhere. Unless you want to end up at the police station, don't ever come in."
The Golden Maknae revealed he watched the entire August 30th incident unfold through his home security system: "I was watching everything on CCTV. When I heard the police arriving, I saw her rushing through the underground parking lot trying to open the door. Eventually, she opened it - and the police were standing right there."
Birthday Celebration Overshadowed by Security Concerns
What should have been a purely joyful celebration turned serious when Jungkook addressed fan boundaries. The livestream, titled "Ear Piercing Day," lasted about 85 minutes and featured performances of songs from his "GOLDEN" album, including "Seven," "3D," and "Standing Next to You."
Despite his usual gentle demeanor, Jungkook was firm: "ARMYs are like family and friends, but I had to make it clear-being supportive is one thing, but what's wrong is wrong."
Not the First Time
This incident follows another break-in attempt in June when a Chinese woman in her 30s tried to enter Jungkook's home on his military discharge day by repeatedly pressing his front door passcode. Both cases highlight the ongoing problem of obsessive "sasaeng" fans in K-pop.
Fan Reactions
ARMYs have rallied behind Jungkook's strict stance, flooding social media with support for his right to privacy. Many fans expressed concern that their idol had to address such serious security issues during what should have been a celebratory moment.
Under South Korea's strengthened anti-stalking laws from 2021, trespassing and stalking can result in up to three years in prison or fines of 30 million won (about $21,000).
As BTS prepares for their 2026 comeback with all members now back from military service, the focus on protecting the group's safety and privacy has become more crucial than ever. Jungkook's direct approach in addressing these violations sends a clear message about the importance of respecting boundaries between fans and artists.
