On September 1, Jungkook celebrated his birthday with a live broadcast to connect with fans.
He opened by saying, “I did several rounds of cardio today, so I don’t have much energy right now,” before adding, “I saw that there’s a staircase in Yongsan decorated with my photos. I thought about going live there, but I got a little scared and decided to do it at home instead.”
His hesitation stemmed from a recent break-in at his residence.
Addressing the August 30 incident, when a woman in her 40s was arrested for trespassing, Jungkook explained: “I was watching everything on CCTV. I heard the police arrive, then saw her rushing through the underground parking lot, trying to open the door. She eventually managed to open it but the police were already standing there. I witnessed the whole thing. She claimed she was my friend… (sigh). ARMY is like family and friends to me, but this was just unfortunate. I’m grateful for the love, but this wasn’t it.”
He then issued a firm warning: “If you try to come in, I’ll lock you inside. All the evidence is recorded and you’ll be taken away. The entire building is covered with CCTV. If you step into my parking lot, you won’t be able to leave unless I open the way. Unless you want to end up at the police station, don’t even think about it.”
The woman, identified as “A,” reportedly followed a car into the parking garage late at night and was caught by security, who immediately alerted police. Upon arrest, she insisted she had entered because it was “a friend’s house.”
This wasn’t the first case in June, a Chinese woman was caught attempting to access Jungkook’s front door by repeatedly entering the passcode. Police later forwarded her to prosecutors without detention on attempted trespassing charges.
