Jungkook Home Intrusion Case: Chinese Woman Detained, BigHit Initiates Legal Proceedings

BigHit Music has stepped forward with a strong official statement after a serious security scare involving BTS, specifically concerning Jungkook. On June 11, the day he was discharged from his military service, a woman tried to break into his home by entering his front door password. Luckily, authorities caught her in the act and arrested her immediately. The agency confirmed that police are now investigating the incident, and they have handed over CCTV footage to ensure the intruder is dealt with appropriately.

This incident underscores the agency’s ongoing battle against various threats aimed at BTS members, ranging from stalking and harassment to defamation and false rumors on social media and online communities. BigHit Music is taking legal action aggressively to protect the members, filing complaints across multiple platforms where harmful content circulates.

The agency keeps a close watch on numerous Korean online spots like Naver, Daum, Nate, Theqoo, DC Inside’s BTS and male celebrity galleries, as well as global social networks such as X, Instagram, and YouTube. Reportedly, some legal cases from this year have already resulted in fines, and others are still in process. BigHit stresses their zero-tolerance policy for any invasion of privacy or harmful behavior directed at their artists.

"We report stalkers immediately to police and file restraining orders," BigHit Music said. "There will be no leniency for any acts that violate the artists’ privacy and safety."

The company also calls on fans to keep reporting suspicious or malicious activities through their HYBE Artist Rights Protection platform. They recommend submitting well-documented evidence such as full-screen PC captures or PDFs, clearly showing URLs, usernames, content, and dates, to help in pursuing legal action efficiently.

Here is BigHit Music’s full message to fans and the public:

Hello,
This is BigHit Music.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude for the warm support you always show toward BTS.

Our company is consistently and firmly taking legal action against malicious activities such as defamation, the spread of false information, sexual harassment, and insults carried out online, in order to protect the rights and interests of BTS and to ensure that they can carry out their activities in a stable environment.

This quarter, with the help of valuable reports from fans, we have continued to monitor domestic online communities (including Naver, Daum, Nate, Theqoo, DC Inside’s BTS and male celebrity galleries, Instiz, Ilgan Best, FM Korea, Women’s Era, Ppomppu, SoulDresser, and others), music platforms (Melon, Bugs Music, Genie Music, etc.), and global SNS channels (X, Instagram, YouTube, etc.). Through this monitoring, we have collected evidence and filed complaints against individuals responsible for confirmed malicious posts in various communities.

Some of the complaints filed in the third quarter of 2024 have already resulted in fines, and other cases are also proceeding toward favorable outcomes. We will continue to respond with responsibility and determination until all matters are resolved.

Additionally, a police investigation is currently underway regarding a recent attempted trespassing incident at a BTS member’s residence. We are actively cooperating with the authorities by submitting evidence—including CCTV footage—to ensure that the intruder receives appropriate criminal punishment.

We are also immediately reporting stalking behavior toward BTS members to the police so that offenders can be apprehended on the spot. Alongside this, we are filing restraining orders as needed. We are taking a zero-tolerance approach to any actions that threaten the artists’ privacy and safety.

Now that BTS has returned to their fans after faithfully fulfilling their national defense duties, we are reinforcing our response efforts even further to ensure that they do not suffer harm from malicious rumors or defamatory remarks.

Acts such as spreading groundless rumors, defamation, sexual harassment, and invasion of privacy are clearly illegal. We will respond to such actions without compromise. Your reports play a crucial role in our legal response.

If you discover any suspected cases of rights infringement against BTS—such as malicious posts or IP violations—please report them through the HYBE Artist Rights Protection Report website (protect.hybecorp.com). For more effective legal processing, we recommend submitting full-screen PC captures or PDF files rather than mobile screenshots. Please ensure that important details such as URLs, usernames, post content, and capture dates are clearly visible.

We are always grateful for your interest and support for BTS, and BigHit Music will continue to do our utmost to protect the rights and interests of the artists.

Thank you.
Sincerely,
BigHit Music

As BTS steps back into the spotlight post-military service, BigHit is clearly drawing a firm line. They’re not just protecting the group behind the scenes—they want everyone to understand that violations of BTS members’ safety and privacy won’t be tolerated or ignored. Fans are encouraged to stay vigilant and help maintain a safe online and offline environment for the group going forward.
