BTS fan caught trying to break into band member Jungkook's home
A woman obsessed with K-pop group BTS has been caught trying to break into band member Jungkook's home just hours after he completed military service.The Chinese woman in her 30s was seen punching random numbers on a combination lock outside Jungkook's apartment in Seoul at about 23:20 local time (14:00 GMT) on Wednesday, police said.She had confessed to flying into Korea to see the singer, but ended up getting arrested for trespassing.Jungkook, along with three other bandmates, were discharged from mandatory military service this week, prompting fan frenzy and increasing anticipation for a possible comeback.
All seven BTS members are set to be discharged from the military by the end of this month and their agency Hybe has hinted at a reunion. They went on hiatus in 2022 at the height of their global fame.Hundreds of fans, some whom flew in from overseas, had gathered in front of Hybe's headquarters to celebrate their idols' return. Many of them were dressed in purple, BTS' signature colour, and carried large banners and photographs of the band.Jungkook thanked fans for travelling to see him, adding that he was "a bit embarrassed" after not being in front of cameras for a while."I didn't even put on makeup," he said. South Korea requires all able-bodied men aged 18 to 28 to serve for about two years in the military. Exceptions are sometimes made for Olympic medallists and classical musicians. Before BTS enlisted, South Korea saw furious debate over whether or not they should be allowed to skip the service, with some arguing that they had already served their country by earning it billions of dollars, and that it would be more beneficial to allow them to carry on doing so.The band had previously won a deferral - when in 2020, the nation's parliament passed a bill allowing them to delay their duties until the age of 30.In 2022, the oldest member of BTS, Jin, enlisted, and the others followed suit.

'My Egyptian toyboy husband put me off sex - but I still will not divorce him'
Iris Jones, 86, spilled the beans on This Morning about her steamy antics with 40-year-old Mohamed Ibrahim. An OAP who boasted on TV about romps with her Egyptian toyboy says she has sworn off sex for good after their acrimonious split. Iris Jones, 86, spilled the beans on This Morning about her steamy antics with 40-year-old Mohamed Ibrahim and was open about their use of K-Y Jelly - saying their nights of passion left her feeling 'saddle-sore'. As reported by the Mirror, she married Mohamed - who is 46 years her junior - in 2020 in Cairo after meeting him on social media the year before. Her new husband moved to the UK in 2021 - but they split in 2023, and now she says: 'The idea of sex now makes my stomach turn. I'm not interested in men at all, not in companionship with them and certainly not sex with them. 'My experience with Mohamed has put me off relationships for life. I wish I'd never met him.' Iris, a former legal secretary, wed Mohamed on her third visit to Cairo in a civil ceremony, with only his dad in attendance as a witness. Iris, who has two sons, Stephen, 59, and Darren, 58, says before she got married Stephen begged her not to do anything rash. Even the wedding reception being a meal in McDonald's did not put her off, she says, adding: 'I didn't care. I thought I was madly in love, so I would have married him anywhere.' Her desire turned to disdain, however, and she kicked Mohamed out following 'non-stop arguing'. She says: 'I finally realised I had enough. I was so tired from all the housework and cleaning up after him that the physical side dwindled to nothing. 'Mohamed was only with me for my money. I can see that now, and I look back and think, 'How could I have been so stupid?' The Mohamed I met in Egypt was Prince Charming, but living in my bungalow he was like the Prince of Darkness.' Bank statements show Iris transferred Mohamed thousands over the course of a year, which she claims were loans he has not repaid – which Mohamed disputes. The last time she had any contact with her husband, she says, was when she emailed him last year asking for his address so she could speak to the Home Office about his stay in the UK. She says: 'All I got back was him telling me his solicitor's details. I did see him in my local Tesco a few months after I chucked him out. 'When he saw me he tried to run away and hide. I have asked for the money back but I've now made peace with the fact I will never see it again. I don't want to see him again either, but I don't hate him. 'He hasn't ruined my life. I have two lovely sons, two lovely daughters-in-law – a great family life. 'But I feel so much regret for the pain I caused them. They begged me not to marry him. But I didn't listen.' Despite the acrimony, divorce is not on the cards, Iris – who has been divorced before – reveals. She insists: 'I'm not paying out for a divorce. I'm not spending any more money on him. It would cost me more to divorce him than to stay married and I don't want to lose any more money.' Iris says that, since her split, women who tell her they have been conned by romantic partners have contacted her asking for advice. She says: 'I feel like an agony aunt to them. It's very sad that what's happened to me is so common. Some age gap relationships can work. But I would urge women to be careful of relationships with much younger men. They can be genuine but mine wasn't.' These days Iris, who lives in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, has replaced her passion for sex with a new hobby. She reveals: 'I like drawing caricatures. I find it really therapeutic. I do it every day and post my pictures on social media. 'I do draw Mohamed all the time – one drawing shows him as a wolf in sheep's clothing.' When the couple appeared on This Morning, Mohamed told hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby: 'I love Iris to the point of madness.' He is still in the UK, and says: 'I have been employed legally in England as a welder in construction and as a security guard. 'I have worked hard I have paid tax and have never claimed any benefits since being here in this country. I have been accused of taking [thousands], where is the evidence? I never asked [Iris] for money. I was no scammer. I paid her housekeeping every month.'
