    Stalker arrested after she approached BTS’s V with marriage certificate

    According to Korean media, a female stalker was arrested after she trespassed BTS member V’s residence. The woman caught the singer off-guard while presenting him with their marriage certificate. She has been arrested by authorities.

    Soompi reported the woman followed V into his residence’s elevator, wanting to speak with them, before she presented him with their fake marriage certificate.

    The female stalker has a history of stalking V, media reports say this is not the first time she approached the singer.

    BTS’s agency BigHit Entertainment addressed the situation with a statement saying they do not tolerate the personal lives of their artists being breached in this manner.

    “We are responding with a no-tolerance policy to stalking crimes that disturb our artist’s personal life and threaten their safety.”

    V assured his fans he was alright by sharing a selfie on Weverse and captioning it “he he I’m okay don’t worry.”

    Previously, BigHit Entertainment announced in a statement on Weverse they were going to take legal action against fans who repeatedly trespassed the personal boundaries of the boyband members by sending packages directly to their homes. They noted legal proceedings were underway against perpetuators which related to sexual harassment, spreading misinformation and defamation.

    “Hello. This is BigHit Music.

During this quarter, we filed multiple criminal complaints with law enforcement agencies based on evidence related to acts infringing on the rights of the artists, including defamation, submitted by our fans as well as collected through our own monitoring.”

    The statement revealed several of the packages sent to the boyband member’s residences caused harm to their families, who have now filed criminal complaints against them on grounds of stalking.

    Not just a hero on the stage but a hero behind the scenes as well

    BTS’s band member Jimin and his father Park Hyun-soo have been playing an important role in providing groceries for low-income families across South Korea. Since September 2020, Hyun-soo has been using the name ‘Ramyeon Fairy’ to deliver donations in Busan, where he provided at least 100 tuna gift sets and 5,250 boxes of ramyeon to struggling families. He has made a total of eight contributions to households across Nam-gu, which can be valued up to 75.95 million Korean won.

    On August 5, Hyun-Soo visited the Nam-gu district office to donate five million Korean won under his son Jimin’s name and also personally delivered boxes of ramen to the office. An official source shared with the Korean media organisation SBS:

    “[Jimin’s father] asked us to use the items to ensure that no one in need goes hungry. He personally loaded the boxes of instant noodles onto the truck and left them at the district office.”⁠

    Jimin himself is also a charitable icon. In 2021, he donated a 100 million won to polio patients, and then another 100 million won to UNICEF Korea to aid children and families struggling from the earthquakes of Syria and Turkey. Among other donations, the ‘Like Crazy’ star pledged 1200 new desks and chairs to the Busan High School of Arts and then gave away 100 million won to the Busan Metropolitan City Office of Education.

    Kindness must be a common quality among the Korean pop band because it’s not just Jimin, but also other members like Namjoon, who aren’t afraid to give back to the community with what they earned. In 2019, on September 12, when the icon turned 25 years old, he donated 100 million Korean won to The Seoul Samsung School, a specialised institute for deaf children, for music education. In June 2020, the group won praise when they donated $1 million to the human rights organisation ‘Black Lives Matter’.
