A Brazilian woman accused of repeatedly visiting the home of BTS member Jungkook despite multiple warnings has been handed a suspended prison sentence in South Korea. The court has heard that she allegedly returned to the singer’s residence numerous times over several weeks, including one incident in which she rang his doorbell 133 times. The ruling could also result in her deportation once the verdict becomes final.

Court Hands Down Suspended Prison Sentence
The woman, whose identity has not been disclosed, was sentenced by a district court in Seoul to one year in prison, suspended for two years.
According to court proceedings, she began approaching the 28-year-old BTS star’s home in December last year. During several visits, she reportedly attempted to leave letters and photographs at the property, claiming her actions were motivated by feelings of affection for the singer.
Unless a successful appeal is filed, she is also expected to be deported from South Korea following the court’s decision.
Repeated Visits Raised Concerns
Court documents stated that the woman first appeared at Jungkook’s Seoul residence on December 7. During that visit, she allegedly remained around the property, threw items over the wall and pushed letters through gaps in the entrance.
A few days later, she returned and repeatedly pressed the doorbell. The court noted that ringing it 133 times demonstrated an “extreme level of obsession”.
Prosecutors told the court that the woman visited the property a total of 22 times over roughly a month.

Why The Court Suspended The Sentence
While delivering the verdict, the district judge said several mitigating factors were considered.
The court noted that the risk of the defendant committing a similar offence again was “not significant”. Judges also took into account circumstances suggesting there was no intention to physically harm the BTS star.
Reports further indicated that deportation proceedings could make it unlikely for her to reoffend in South Korea once the ruling becomes legally binding.
