Brazilian woman indicted for stalking BTS member Jungkook

SEOUL, March 3 (Yonhap) -- Prosecutors said Tuesday they have indicted a Brazilian national while in custody for allegedly stalking Jungkook of K-pop boy group BTS and trespassing at his residence in Seoul.

The Seoul Western District Prosecutors Office said it indicted the woman, in her 30s, last week on charges of violating the Act on Punishment of Stalking Crimes and trespassing.

The suspect allegedly visited Jungkook's home around 20 times, pressing the doorbell or leaving letters from December to January.

The Brazilian national told prosecutors that she committed such acts "out of love for Jungkook."

The woman was initially caught in the act and arrested in December but was later released.

Police had prohibited her from coming within 100 meters of the star's residence in Seoul's Yongsan Ward.

Police referred her to prosecutors in February after she continued attempting to visit Jungkook's home.
