The woman who allegedly intruded into the home of BTS member Jungkook has been forwarded to the prosecution. The group's management has re-emphasized its zero-tolerance policy against illegal activities.

On September 29th, Big Hit Music released a statement via Weverse, confirming, "There have recently been multiple incidents of unauthorized intrusion attempts at the member's private residence." The agency added, "A decision has been made to refer some of these individuals to the prosecution. We will ensure they face severe punishment."

Jungkook has been a victim of trespass or attempted trespass twice this year alone. In June, a woman in her 30s (Chinese national) attempted to intrude, and in August, a woman in her 40s illegally entered his private home.

Zero Tolerance for Privacy Invasion

Big Hit Music strongly stated that any act that violates the artist's privacy and safety will be met with criminal charges. "Actions such as visiting or loitering near a private residence, watching a residence from the exterior, leaking personal information, and all other acts that infringe on privacy are subject to criminal penalties, including the crime of trespass and stalking," the agency warned.

The company further pointed out that these illegal acts "cause severe anxiety and distress to the victimized artist." It urged fans, "We respectfully ask that you respect the artist's privacy and safety to foster a safe and healthy fan culture."

The agency stressed that it maintains a zero-tolerance policy against all illegal activities, including acts amounting to defamation, insult, and the spread of false information concerning its artists, promising powerful legal action.

Big Hit Music confirmed that some cases filed by the company last year were already forwarded to the prosecution with a finding of guilt in July. Current cases filed this year are also actively proceeding, with investigations underway, including summoning suspects via warrants.

"We are always grateful for the fans' love and dedication toward BTS," the agency concluded. "Big Hit Music will continue its utmost efforts to protect the rights and interests of the artists."
