**Breaking In: BTS Member Faces Intruder Immediately After Military Release**
A K-pop fan's obsession leads to attempted break-in at Jungkook's home just hours post discharge from military service.
A woman with a fixation on the K-pop sensation BTS was apprehended while attempting to break into Jungkook's residence only hours after he completed his military service. The incident occurred in Seoul when the individual, a Chinese national in her 30s, was observed entering random passcodes on the combination lock of his apartment around 11:20 PM local time.
Upon questioning, she confessed to traveling to South Korea solely to see Jungkook but ended up getting arrested for trespassing. This event coincided with the excitement surrounding Jungkook’s return from military service, along with three other band members. As enthusiasts anticipated a possible BTS reunion, crowds had gathered outside the headquarters of their agency, Hybe, to celebrate their homecoming.
Fans donned purple attire—BTS's signature color—and waved banners in appreciation of the K-pop pioneers. Jungkook expressed gratitude for his supporters who traveled great distances to mark this special occasion, mentioning his embarrassment at being in front of cameras after a lengthy absence. "I didn’t even put on makeup," he admitted.
In South Korea, there is a mandatory military service requirement for able-bodied males aged 18 to 28, with some exceptions for elite athletes and musicians. Prior to their enlistment, BTS sparked heated discussions on whether they should be exempt, given their global contributions to the economy. In 2020, they received a deferral allowing them to postpone their service until they turned 30, but the oldest member, Jin, enlisted in 2022, with the remaining members following suit.
As all seven BTS members are set to complete their service by the end of this month, expectations are high for their return to the music scene, as fans eagerly await the next chapter in their beloved K-pop saga.
