A woman, captivated by K-pop sensations BTS, was arrested for attempting to break into Jungkook's residence shortly after he completed his mandatory military service. The incident occurred late Wednesday night in Seoul, where the 30-something Chinese fan was caught inputting random codes on a combination lock at the singer's apartment complex. She admitted to traveling to South Korea specifically to catch a glimpse of Jungkook, following the band's discharge from military duties that have excited fans globally, leading to hopes of a spectacular comeback.
On this momentous occasion, hundreds of dedicated fans converged at the headquarters of BTS's agency, Hybe, many wearing purple, the group's iconic color, and waving banners to welcome back their idols. Jungkook expressed gratitude for the warm reception despite feeling a bit self-conscious about his appearance after time away from the spotlight.
Mandatory military service in South Korea requires all able-bodied men, including the members of BTS, to serve around two years. However, fans have debated whether the band's contributions to the country's economy through their global success should allow them exemptions. BTS previously won a deferral in 2020, but each member, starting with the eldest, Jin, has since enlisted, driving the anticipation for their future activities following this military obligation.
