BTS member Jungkook has once again addressed the growing problem of sasaeng fans, making a powerful plea during a surprise live broadcast that quickly gained massive attention.
On December 18th, Jungkook held a special live session on the fan community platform Weverse, which broke records with an impressive 20.2 million views, marking the highest number since Weverse’s launch.
Currently serving in the military, Jungkook took time off from his service to update fans on his life and share a peek into the interior of his newly completed home. However, he also had an important request for his fans: “I saw that my moving news and the completion of the house were all over YouTube. Since I’ve moved, I just hope people don’t come to visit my house. I’d appreciate it if you could avoid that,” he shared.
Jungkook went on to explain that he would not be accepting any deliveries to his new home, adding, "If you send packages to my home address, I won’t be able to receive them. They’ll all be returned." He kindly asked fans to send letters to his company instead, where he could collect them safely.
Additionally, he warned fans not to send packages to his military base either. “A lot of packages come to the military, but I can't receive them. There are a lot of food packages. Those are of course not acceptable either. I really appreciate the gesture, but I hope you’ll refrain. As you know, these are sensitive issues,” he explained.
This isn’t the first time Jungkook and other BTS members have had to address the issue of obsessive fans. Last May, Jungkook issued a similar warning about food deliveries, stating, “Please don't send food to my house. I won’t eat it even if you do. I appreciate the thought, but I take care of myself, so please take care of yourself. I’m asking you, please don’t send it again. If you do, I’ll check the receipt and take action.”
Jungkook’s bandmate, V, has also faced similar issues, with a woman in her 20s attempting to visit his home. The woman, identified as A, was sent to court on charges of stalking and trespassing.
BigHit Music, the agency representing BTS, has made it clear that they will take a zero-tolerance stance on stalking incidents. Despite legal actions being taken, the harassment continues, and the members are repeatedly forced to remind fans about respecting their privacy.
Jungkook’s latest message is a clear call for respect and understanding, and fans are urged to be more mindful of their actions moving forward.
