It was recently revealed that BTS member Jungkook became a victim of a massive stock theft while he was serving in the military.

On March 22, BigHit Music confirmed the incident, stating, “As soon as Jungkook and the company found out about this crime, we acted immediately by freezing the affected accounts and restoring everything to its original state to prevent any real damage.”

According to Biz Hankook, back in January 2024, while Jungkook was undergoing basic military training, three unauthorized securities accounts were opened under his name.

A total of 33,500 HYBE shares—worth around 8.3 billion KRW—were transferred into these accounts. The perpetrator even attempted to sell 500 shares (worth about 126 million KRW) to a third party for profit.

In March 2024, Jungkook filed a lawsuit to get back the 500 shares that were sold. The Seoul Western District Court ruled in his favor in February, confirming that Jungkook was just a victim of identity theft and that no valid stock transfer agreement existed. The court ordered that all shares be returned to Jungkook.

Despite this, the person behind the stock theft has not yet been caught. BigHit Music reassured fans, saying, “We have taken additional legal steps and strengthened security measures to protect the artist’s personal information and devices to prevent anything like this from happening again.”

Meanwhile, Jungkook enlisted in December 2023 and is currently serving as an active-duty soldier. He is expected to be discharged on June 11.
