A Brazilian woman has been given a one-year prison sentence, suspended for two years, after repeatedly visiting the home of BTS member Jungkook despite multiple warnings from authorities, the BBC reported.

According to the court’s findings, she visited the property 22 times, left letters and photographs, and, on one occasion, rang the doorbell 133 times.

The woman was arrested after entering the property through a side gate and later violating orders to stay away from the residence. Authorities eventually referred the case to prosecutors following continued incidents.

The court cited several mitigating factors, including a low risk of reoffending, when issuing the suspended sentence. The woman may also face deportation from South Korea, subject to the outcome of any appeal.
