BTS's Jungkook faces home break-in attempt just hours after military discharge
ALBAWABA - BTS star Jungkook targeted in break-in after military return.
In a troubling event, the police detained a woman who attempted to break into the home of BTS singer Jungkook in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, on the same day that he returned from his military service. This incident caused significant anxiety among fans of K-pop.
At approximately 11:20 p.m. Korean Standard Time (KST) on June 11, a neighbor observed a woman tapping on the electronic license plate that was attached to Jungkook's door. This led to the incident being reported on Saturday, June 12.

According to a statement released by the Yongsan Police Station, the woman, who is a Chinese national that is in her thirties, was taken into custody without delay for the crime of attempted trespassing, and further investigation is still ongoing.
The timing of the event, which occurred on the same day that Jungkook was discharged from the military, is another factor that contributes to the unsettling nature of the situation. He had been a member of the 5th Army Artillery Brigade since December 2023, and he was released with the rank of sergeant shortly after his service ended. The incident surprised the public and sparked fears for his safety, especially considering that it is unknown whether he was at home at the time. Even though the K-pop star's followers were celebrating his return to civilian life, the public was shocked by the incident.
The police are continuing their inquiries into the woman's reasons for attempting to break into the building. The investigation is also looking into whether or not she had attempted to get in touch with Jungkook in the past or had been following him in a suspicious manner. Authorities have not confirmed if this was part of a larger scheme or an isolated act.
Fans expressed their anxiety for Jungkook and demanded that entertainment organizations take better security measures to protect artists, given the frequent occurrences of break-ins at celebrity houses in South Korea. After the news surfaced, a wave of concern and sympathy raced across social media, with fans expressing their concern and sympathy for Jungkook.

South Korea controls wildfire in Gyeongsang
KARACHI, Pakistan A massive wildfire that swept through large swaths in South Korea's North and South Gyeongsang provinces has been fully contained after 10 days, authorities said Sunday. The main fires were under control as of around midday on Sunday after they first broke out on March 21, Seoul-based Yonhap News reported, citing forestry officials. About 48,000 hectares of woodland, equivalent to some 80% of the size of the capital Seoul, was scorched in the worst wildfire disaster ever in South Korea. The Korea Forest Service earlier announced the wildfire had been fully brought under control on Friday before they reignited overnight Saturday. Police plan to do a joint investigation next week in coordination with the National Institute of Forest Science, the National Forensic Service, and the fire authorities. Suspect booked The police have arrested a man suspected of starting the massive wildfire. The 56-year-old man is accused of causing the fire while performing an ancestral rite at a family grave on a hill in Uiseong County in the North Gyeongsang province. The fire spread rapidly to nearby areas for days due to gusty winds amid dry conditions, killing at least 30 across the North and South Gyeongsang provinces. The wildfire also destroyed an estimated 4,000 structures, including the 1,300-year-old Gounsa Temple – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – along with homes, factories, and other structures. The suspect, according to the police, has denied any involvement.
