A Brazilian woman convicted of stalking BTS member Jeon Jung-kook has been sentenced to one year in prison, suspended for two years, by a South Korean court. The ruling comes after months of repeated visits to the singer’s residence and violations of a court-issued protective order.
According to legal authorities, Presiding Judge Park Ji Won of the Seoul Western District Court handed down the sentence on charges of violating South Korea’s anti-stalking law and trespassing.
The woman, identified only as “A,” had already spent about three months in detention before the ruling. The case centered on a series of incidents that took place between December 2025 and January 2026.
Court records showed that the woman visited Jungkook’s residence 22 times over roughly one month, Koreaboo reported. During those visits, she repeatedly rang the doorbell, waited outside the property, left letters and personal items, and attempted to contact the singer.
Jungkook Home Intrusion Case Ends
One of the most serious incidents occurred on December 12, when she reportedly rang the doorbell 133 times in a single evening.
The following day, she gained access to the property by waiting near a side entrance and following a food delivery worker through an open gate after the worker exited. Authorities arrested the woman after the incident and later issued an emergency protective order.
According to AllKPop, the order prohibited her from approaching within 100 meters of Jungkook or his residence. Despite the restriction, prosecutors said she returned to the property in early January and left photographs and printed materials near the home, resulting in additional charges.
In its decision, the court acknowledged the seriousness of the repeated stalking behavior and noted that the woman continued her actions despite warnings from police and legal restrictions.
The victim had also requested a strong punishment. However, the court decided against immediate imprisonment. The judge cited several factors, including the belief that the defendant acted to “express feelings” rather than cause physical harm.
The court also considered the time she had already spent in detention. The ruling further noted that the woman is expected to be deported once the judgment becomes final.
