In a shocking incident shortly after Jungkook of BTS was released from military service, a woman was apprehended for attempting to break into his apartment in Seoul. The Chinese national, believed to be in her 30s, was observed at approximately 11:20 PM local time entering random codes into a combination lock situated outside Jungkook's residence. Upon questioning, she admitted that her trip to South Korea was specifically to see the K-pop star, leading to her arrest for trespassing.

This incident occurred just hours after Jungkook and three other BTS members completed their mandatory military service, an event that had already sparked a wave of excitement among their global fanbase. Anticipation is running high for the potential reunion of all seven members, as they are all expected to complete military obligations by the end of the month. Agency Hybe has hinted at a comeback, which has fans eagerly awaiting their next moves after a hiatus that started in 2022 at the peak of their fame.

In celebration of the group's return, hundreds of fans gathered at Hybe's headquarters, donning BTS's iconic purple colors and showcasing banners and photographs. Jungkook expressed gratitude towards the devoted fans who traveled distances to support him, humorously adding he felt "a bit embarrassed" to be on camera after a long break without makeup. South Korea mandates military service for all capable men aged 18 to 28, and the process for BTS sparked significant debates about their contributions to the country through international success. In prior years, they had secured a deferral allowing them to delay military duties, but finally enlisted after Jin, the eldest member, began the process in 2022.
