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.

Actor Song Kang Ho shocked fans by revealing the surprising reason he initially turned down the iconic role in Joint Security Area (JSA).

On February 4, the movie JSA was celebrated as a "Visionary" work at a special GV (Guest Visit) event for CJ ENM’s 30th anniversary at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Seoul. The event was attended by director Park Chan-wook and stars like Song Kang Ho, Lee Byung Hun, Lee Young Ae, Kim Tae Woo, and Ko Kyung Beom, who shared stories from the making of the film.

Joint Security Area, a groundbreaking film by director Park Chan-wook, tells the story of North and South Korean soldiers caught in a tragic incident at the border, highlighting the human side of the divided nations. The film has been widely praised for changing the perception of inter-Korean relations and is seen as a key moment in Korean cinema.

During the event, Song Kang Ho admitted that he turned down the JSA script at first, saying, "The script was just too perfect. It was so well-written and tightly woven that I couldn’t believe it. I thought, ‘Is this really Korean cinema at this level?’ I felt it was too good, and I figured the movie wouldn’t live up to the script."

He also mentioned that at the time, Park Chan-wook’s previous films hadn’t done well, which made him even more doubtful. "But after meeting the director, I started to trust him," Song Kang Ho added.

Reflecting on the film 20 years later, Song Kang Ho joked, "I was flipping through channels and watched JSA again. I thought, ‘There was a time when I wasn’t envious of Lee Byung Hun,’ but he looked so handsome and cool back then." He continued, laughing, "One thing about Park Chan-wook's films is that they have a depth and elegance that you just can’t forget. It’s probably why his new movie is called I Can’t Help It."

Song Kang Ho also spoke fondly of reuniting with his JSA co-stars after 25 years. He shared, "We didn’t watch the film together, but we had a cozy two-hour dinner. After all this time, it felt nostalgic. It was heartwarming to sit together again and reminisce about the past. It really made me realize how meaningful these moments are."
