BTS member Jungkook has publicly addressed a recent home intrusion, strongly warning against further violations of his privacy. The 28-year-old singer spoke out during a live broadcast on September 1, 2025, the same day he celebrated his birthday, sharing details of the disturbing incident and cautioning fans against such behaviour.
Jungkook Addresses Incident During Birthday Livestream
Speaking candidly on Weverse, Jungkook revealed that he personally witnessed the intruder on his home CCTV system. The woman, identified as being in her 40s, unlawfully entered the underground parking lot of his residence on August 31.
“When the police arrived, she rushed out through the underground parking lot but was eventually caught,” Jungkook explained, quoting reports from Koreaboo. The woman reportedly told officers that she was the singer’s friend, a claim Jungkook immediately refuted.
The Still With You singer emphasised that while ARMYs — BTS’s global fandom — are like family to him, boundaries must be respected. “ARMYs are like family and friends, but I had to make it clear being supportive is one thing, but what’s wrong is wrong,” he said firmly.
Issuing a strong warning, Jungkook added: “If you come, I’ll lock you in. Everything is recorded as evidence, and you’ll be dragged away. 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.”
Repeat Privacy Violations Raise Concerns
According to the Yongsan Police, the intruder has been officially booked for housebreaking. The woman entered Jungkook’s detached home parking lot at approximately 11:20 pm before being arrested on the spot after Jungkook alerted authorities. Investigators are still determining her motive.
Disturbingly, this is not the first time Jungkook has faced such an invasion. On June 11, shortly after completing his mandatory military service, another intruder attempted to gain access to his residence. In that case, a Chinese woman was arrested for repeatedly trying to enter his home by pressing his password keypad multiple times.
The recurrence of such incidents highlights ongoing concerns about idol safety and fan boundaries in the K-pop industry. While Jungkook has always expressed deep gratitude for ARMY’s support, he made it clear that unlawful intrusions will not be tolerated.
