A Brazilian woman accused 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 protective order issued by the court.
According to legal authorities, Seoul District Court President Park Ji Won issued the sentence on charges of violating South Korea’s anti-stalking law and trespassing.
The woman, identified only as “A”, had already spent around three months in detention before the sentencing. The case centered on a series of incidents that occurred between December 2025 and January 2026.
Court documents showed that the woman visited Jungkook’s residence 22 times over the span of about a month, Koreaboo reported. During those visits, he repeatedly rang the doorbell, waited outside the property, left letters and personal items, and attempted to contact the singer.

One of the most serious incidents occurred on December 12, when he reportedly rang the doorbell 133 times in a single evening.
The next 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 left. Authorities arrested the woman after the incident and later issued an emergency protection order.
According to AllKPop, the order prohibited her from coming within 100 meters of Jungkook or his residence. Despite the restriction, prosecutors said the woman 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 recognized the severity of the repeated stalking behavior and noted that the woman continued her actions despite police warnings and legal restrictions.
The victim had also asked for severe 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 took into account the time he had already spent in detention. The ruling also notes that the woman should be deported once the ruling becomes final.
