A foreign woman who stalked Jungkook, a member of the group BTS, has been indicted and will stand trial in custody.
According to prosecutors on the 4th, the Women and Children Crime Investigation Division of the Seoul Western District Prosecutors Office on the 27th indicted in custody a Brazilian woman in her 30s, identified as A, on charges of violating the anti-stalking law and housebreaking.
From Dec. 7 last year to Jan. 4 this year, A is accused of visiting Jungkook's home a total of 23 times, ringing the doorbell or leaving mail.
During the investigation, A was reported to have claimed it was "an act out of love for Jungkook."
On Dec. 13 last year, when a food delivery worker entered a side door of Jungkook's residence, A followed and entered, and was arrested on the spot on suspicion of breaking into Jungkook's home.
Police issued an emergency response order barring A from approaching within 100 meters of Jungkook's home, but after A kept trying to approach, police arrested A and referred the case to prosecutors on the 19th.
However, prosecutors dismissed the attempted housebreaking charge against A for lack of evidence. They concluded that a review of closed-circuit (CC) TV footage did not confirm related actions such as A pressing the door lock keypad or pushing and pulling the side door.
