Court Sentence for Stalking BTS Member Jungkook

跟蹤 BTS 成員柾國被判刑


Introduction

A court in Seoul has given a suspended prison sentence to a Brazilian woman after she repeatedly entered the private property of the artist Jungkook.

首爾法院對一名巴西女性判處緩刑,因為她多次擅自進入藝人柾國的私人財產。

Main Body

The legal case focused on a series of events that began last December. The defendant visited Jungkook's home in Seoul approximately 22 times without permission. During these visits, she left letters and photos and threw objects over the property fence. The court emphasized one particularly extreme incident where the woman rang the residence's doorbell 133 times.

該法律案件聚焦於去年十二月開始的一系列事件。被告在未經許可的情況下,約 22 次前往柾國位於首爾的住家。在這些造訪期間,她留下了信件和照片,並將物品扔過物業圍牆。法院強調了一次特別極端的事件,該名女性將住家的門鈴按了 133 次。

Authorities tried to stop her behavior several times. First, she was arrested on December 13 after she followed a delivery person into the building, and she received a formal warning. Consequently, the court issued an emergency restraining order that banned her from coming within 100 meters of the home. However, she continued her actions, which led to her being charged in February.

當局曾多次嘗試阻止她的行為。首先,她在 12 月 13 日因跟隨一名外送員進入大樓而被逮捕,並收到正式警告。隨後,法院發布了緊急限制令,禁止她進入住家 100 公尺範圍內。然而,她仍繼續其行為,導致她在二月被起訴。

In her defense, the woman claimed that her actions were caused by her feelings of love for the 28-year-old singer. When deciding the sentence, the judge noted that there was a low risk of her committing the crime again. This case is not the first security problem for the artist; in June of last year, a Chinese national also tried to enter the same house shortly after Jungkook finished his military service.

在辯護中,該名女性聲稱她的行為是由對這位 28 歲歌手的愛意所驅使。法官在決定量刑時指出,她再次犯罪的風險較低。這並非該藝人首次面臨安全問題;在去年六月,一名中國國民在柾國完成兵役後不久,也曾嘗試進入同一棟房屋。

Conclusion

The defendant was sentenced to one year in prison, suspended for two years. Furthermore, she will likely be deported unless she successfully appeals the decision.

被告被判處一年有期徒刑,緩刑兩年。此外,除非她成功上訴,否則很可能會被驅逐出境。

⚡ The 'B2 Jump': Moving from Simple to Sophisticated Logic

An A2 student says: "She went to his house many times. Then the police stopped her. But she did it again."

To reach B2, you must stop using 'And' and 'But' for everything. You need Connectors of Consequence and Contrast. Look at how this article glues ideas together to create a professional flow.

🔗 The Power Tools

1. Consequently (The 'Result' Word)

  • A2 Style: "She did it again, so she was charged."
  • B2 Style: "She continued her actions; consequently, the court issued an order."
  • Why? It shows a direct legal result and sounds formal.

2. Furthermore (The 'Adding More' Word)

  • A2 Style: "And she will be deported."
  • B2 Style: "Furthermore, she will likely be deported."
  • Why? It signals to the reader that you are adding a final, important piece of information.

3. Unless (The 'Condition' Word)

  • A2 Style: "She will be deported. Maybe she can appeal."
  • B2 Style: "...deported unless she successfully appeals the decision."
  • Why? This creates a complex sentence that links a result to a specific condition.
