Updated with trans by [Soompi](https://www.soompi.com/article/1622440wpp/btss-vs-stalker-arrested-by-police-bighit-music-comments), based on this article and an earlier one.
>On October 26 at approximately 6:30 p.m. KST, a woman in her twenties (hereafter referred to as “A”) followed V into the elevator of his apartment building and attempted to speak to him. According to a report by KBS, she also handed him a marriage certificate.
>“A” is said to have waited for V outside the building where he lives, then followed him inside when he drove his car into the building’s parking lot.
>The following morning, “A” was reported to have been arrested by the police, who found her using the information written on the marriage certificate she gave V. “A” is also said to have a history of having stalked V in the past.
>Later that morning, BIGHIT MUSIC officially remarked, “We are responding with a no-tolerance policy to stalking crimes that disturb our artist’s personal life and threaten their safety.”
I will never understand celeb stalkers. A lot of US artist have recurrent stalkers that be in their physical homes too!
Like a serious mental illness to go this far.
Concerning that the apartment security missed this intruder, but I’m sure with the price of these complexes that’s being looked into.
so sickening. idk how anyone could think doing something like this is okay at all. i wish this wasn’t something the guys had to deal with 🙁
jfc that encounter sounds terrifying.
i hope they get prosecuted to the full extent of the law and receive some form of psychological help while they’re in there. glad tae and co is okay.
did she really think that was going to work? i’m sorry v (and other idols) have to deal with sht like that.
Wow, this is scary. Just living his life, going about his day, and then this happens. I’m glad that the woman was arrested, but I can’t imagine how unsafe he must have felt.
shit like this just baffles me. do they seriouslyexpect the artist/celebrity to just be like, “well you went through all this trouble, of course i’ll marry you!”?? insane. hope Tae’s doing okay.
Oh, I hope he is doing okay. What a violation of his safety and privacy. How thoughtful of him to reassure us through his social medias.
The way people invade their privacy is insane. I feel so bad for each of the members. I feel like over the over the last few years, there’s been so many invasions of their privacy by people who claim to love them. It’s really disturbing how some people don’t understand boundaries. The amount of people who want to get close to them or even want to exploit them is really upsetting. Like the members of BTS deserve to have privacy and space like every other person on this planet.
I’m fully one to admit that the parasocial relationship between me and the members of BTS is strong, but I also fully understand that I’ll never meet them let alone be able to have any kind of relationship with them that is not one of an artist/entertainer and a fan. It seems like this woman needs mental health care in addition to stern consequences. I hope she gets the help she needs, and I hope BH can up security for each member.
The things they go through…I hope Tae isn’t too shaken. I know Hybe doesn’t play around so I hope these people are swiftly dealt with.
This is insane, I hope HYBE takes all measures so this won’t happen again
Did she think that was going to work?
I know we all talk about being delulu but we have a clear line we do not cross. This person catapulted across that line!
The tannies seriously need security with them 24/7, just like Taylor does.
Terrifying that someone like that was able to get so close.
The unfortunate reality is that while people throw around words like “delusion” very casually in the K-pop space (not excluding myself from that), there are people who are unwell enough that their delusions become very real to them. That’s how we end up with situations like this.
It’s of course very horrible for V, he is absolutely the victim in this situation and I feel terrible he had to deal with this. He should be protected from people who invade his privacy and there should be proportionate consequences for this incident.
I hope whoever this person is, is both kept away from V and able to seek effective mental health support for the future safety of everyone involved.
Genuine question: don’t the Tannies have 24-hour security, not just when getting to and from airports and schedules? If not, is it because they choose not to? Because with everything that’s been happening, perhaps it’s something that should be strongly considered…
This is crazy though.
Is this what his recent Weverse post was about then? I’m glad he’s doing ok.
That building needs better security. They should be able to be safe in their homes. While this persons mental illness wasn’t harmful, there are mentally ill people with harmful intent. This person was able to get to him. That’s terrifying.

I always feel deflated when something like this occur with the boys, I know it’s common for celebrities, but I honestly cannot fathom how stressful and invasive it must be. It reminds me when he talked about taking only private jets now because people would get on normal planes just to see them, and it made him anxious and afraid. I’m always glad for this no settlement and zero tolerance policy from HYBE.
OMG… Tae, I really hope he’s okay and safe. This is so scary.
what was that girl even thinking, i hope this does not go unpunished it is crazy scary
Maybe growing up in California has made me kind of immune to celebrity sightings, but why on earth does anyone do this? I guarantee you every single one of the guys would be fine with you waving or sending a finger heart from a distance if you recognized them. There’s literally zero reason to approach them and make demands on their time, let alone STALK them.
I hope V stays safe and knows that most Army respect him as a person and would never do this.
Oh my god this is so disturbing!
Someone’s going to get fired behind this, or should. My understanding is where they live there’s security and gates and stuff. There’s absolutely no way she should have gotten in. I was livid when I read what happened. And then that Tae posted on Weverse saying “It’s okay don’t worry” thinking about us!
I’ve had the thought several times over the last few years for people who do this kind of thing, or worse – what happened to them in their life that led them to the moment where they thought this kind of behavior was ok? What was the turning point or event that brought them here? Because I can’t understand it at all, and it scares me. The poor guys, this would freak me out so badly, I can’t imagine how it must feel to possibly have this kind of thing be a regular occurrence. 😭
WHAT. Jesus Christ, that poor baby. Im glad they found the psycho quickly and I hope they throw the book at her!
The absolute insanity A showed is mind bogglingly terrifying. I honestly wouldn’t be able to handle it, the boys are so strong to be able to continue in this career.
I can’t even muster up anger at this individual. It’s an odd mixture of disgust and pity. She needs real mental health treatment. I’m not sure the circumstances in this person’s life that led them to believe this is acceptable but there needs to be greater awareness and consequences towards anyone who does this, as it’s deranged. Any stalker absolutely needs psych help, as they likely are a danger to both others and themselves. This sadly could’ve been worse.
This is so scary. What always disturbs me the most with incidents like this, or what happened with Jin or even the NCT members is the what if. She got close enough that she could’ve done anything! Jesus Christ! 😥😥😥😥😥
Oh my absolute fucking god, what is WRONG with some people???
Handing a marriage certificate is crazy and funny at the same time, like how did she think Tae would react? Lmao
don’t even have any words how anyone would think this was okay to do…the tannies still have to put up with so much they shouldn’t have to even go through this🤦🏼♀️
I just don’t understand some people, doing stuff like this to someone they profess to love. Because that’s not love, that’s a seriously unhealthy level of obsession with a massive amount of disrespect for Tae as a person. I hope Tae doesn’t get too bothered by this and can continue to feel safe in his own home, and that A gets the help she clearly needs.
Christ, the thought of being trapped in an elevator with a stalker is terrifying. I hope he’s OK and that she’s dealt with properly (and that she gets some help, she clearly needs it)
