Jungkook has faced obsessive fan behavior before. In 2025, another woman in her 30s was detained for attempting to break into his Seoul apartment shortly after his military discharge. Reports noted that she tried to enter the building using the door passcode late at night and admitted traveling specifically to meet him.
The recurring incidents underscore the risks public figures face from “saesangs,” or extreme fans, which Jungkook has openly addressed in the past. The singer has urged fans to respect boundaries and emphasized the need for legal enforcement to ensure the safety of celebrities.
