The woman who was detained for stalking BTS’ Jungkook has resurfaced in conversations again, thanks to a Brazilian media report from G1. According to the media outlet, the lady’s family believes she is suffering from a serious mental health crisis and requires medical attention in her home country, Brazil. Relatives claim that the 30-year-old has had a history of mental illness and has stopped taking her medication. They also revealed she thinks Jungkook is the love of her life.
Family members described how she left Brazil and traveled to South Korea alone. She reportedly lived in Paraíba before moving to São Paulo and refused to continue treatment from her hometown doctor. The family learned through social media that she was abroad and was later detained for stalking the BTS member. They state that she blocked most of her relatives online and communicates only with her mother, who has asked her to return to Brazil.
“It was something completely out of the ordinary. She was taken to a psychiatrist, and the doctor diagnosed a disorder. She talks to her mother every day, who asks her to come back, but she says she won’t.”
The family also shared that this behavior is not new. In 2021, she experienced a similar psychiatric episode and was examined by a doctor who diagnosed her with a mental disorder. An international law expert told G1 that this situation should be considered a medical emergency rather than only a criminal matter. The specialist noted that the videos shared online show that the woman may not be fully aware of her actions and needs medical treatment. They also asked BTS fans for understanding while stating that they want to avoid further conflict.
“She [the Brazilian woman] is in the midst of a severe mental health crisis. Her mother has even started to feel unwell because of all the news that has come out and after learning that her daughter, who cannot control her own emotions, is receiving countless death threats. People, BTS fans, need to understand that we are not dealing with a criminal; we are dealing with a person who urgently needs medical support.”
