A South Korean court sentences a Brazilian woman to a suspended prison term after finding her guilty of stalking and trespassing involving BTS member Jung Kook. Seoul Western District Court Judge Park Ji-won imposes a one-year prison sentence, suspended for two years, for violating Korea’s anti-stalking law and trespassing. The court finds the woman visited Jung Kook’s Seoul residence and surrounding area 22 times between Dec. 7 and Dec. 28, repeatedly loitering and ringing the doorbell while waiting for him. Prosecutors and police say she also left items at the residence. One incident involves her entering the residential property through a side gate left open while a delivery worker was coming and going. Authorities also report that after police issued an emergency order barring her from approaching Jung Kook or his residence within 100 meters, she returns on Jan. 4 and leaves photographs and printed materials. Several outlets report the woman may be deported from South Korea, though the deportation outcome is discussed as pending appeal. The suspended sentence means she avoids jail time unless she commits another offense during the two-year probation period.
