In general, as an idol, it is unavoidable to be loved by millions of fans while also being disliked by a considerable crowd. But what’s worth noting is that toxic individuals not only insult and abuse idols on social media, but, even more alarmingly, now find ways to fabricate evidence to falsely accuse them.

Fans have surely seen many false rumors accusing Jungkook of dating in recent days. Numerous videos and images have been widely shared on social media showing a man, purported to be Jungkook, returning to his old apartment in 2023 with a woman.

While some foolishly tried to drag aespa’s Winter and recent dating rumors between the two idols into the matter, others claimed that Jungkook had previously dated many women outside the industry. Some even labeled him the “Busan Cycle,” implying that he had multiple romantic relationships and criticizing him for dating while being an idol.

However, it didn’t take long for ARMYs to uncover proof that these videos and images were fabricated. By checking for AI traces in software, finding the original photos and comparing differences, as well as detecting absurd errors in the doctored images, fans provided convincing arguments that the scenes of Jungkook returning home with a woman were not real.

What scared fans the most, though, was discovering that Jungkook’s old house had been astonishingly exploited by sasaeng fans and malicious individuals—and this is likely why he was forced to move. They found a video of a malicious individual who had previously instructed others on how to stalk the idol at his old apartment in 2023, where he lived before his enlistment.

According to the video, there is a public area opposite Jungkook’s apartment with no supervision. From this staircase, stalkers could point cameras toward the opposite corner, giving them a full view of his apartment. They could monitor Jungkook’s every move as he entered and exited the building, or, if lucky, when he opened the curtains of his main room and bedroom, allowing them to capture even more valuable moments.

Fans also noticed that this camera angle perfectly matches the angle in the video showing Jungkook returning home alone, which the malicious individuals then used to edit AI-generated content depicting him with another woman. In the same video, there is also a moment when Jungkook appears to notice someone staring at him and looks around suspiciously.

This angle has also been seen multiple times in other photos used as the basis for AI editing, demonstrating that the stalkers frequently lurked around his home, not just once.

Looking back on these events, fans are certain that Jungkook must have lived in fear of being watched for a long time and can shudder just imagining how disgusting it must have been, let alone experiencing it firsthand. Fortunately, his new villa in Itaewon was completed by the end of 2024, allowing him to move to a new, presumably more private residence.

However, as everyone knows, even though he can avoid the lenses of stalkers, he still faces other serious situations. At least two malicious individuals have been caught by the ρσℓι¢є attempting to illegally trespαѕѕ on the idol’s home over the past five months. On top of that, there have been numerous people harαѕѕing him by ringing the doorbell repeatedly and shouting for him to come downstairs.

Jungkook’s private life has clearly been significantly affected by toxic individuals over the past years, and the situation has reached an alarming level recently. ARMYs are currently launching multiple campaigns calling on HYBE to take action to protect the idol’s residence and to legally intervene against those spreading false images, videos, and information about him.

ARMYs are left horrified at the unimaginable behavior of the stalkers toward Jungkook:

- I guess HYBE coming for them next. Why would someone risk their livelihood posting the private life of someone who they don't know and will never meet. Some of them have serious mental problems and should seek help like this is crazy

- Look at these sasaeng … 24/7 lurking around Jungkook’s house... He knows exactly how mentally unstable you are And you actually expect him to hold hands with a girl? Pathetic.

- He needs heavy security. Those crazy people spending money and effort just to stalk him for hours, then manipulate AI and spread rumors—it’s truly disgusting

- his entrance is too f*cking public for me idc. it should be normal because everyone has doors like that but with these stalkers is so f*cking scary.

- Anyone that stalks celeb, I hope their generational limeage will always be stalked more than what they dish out

- The situation is getting out of hand. Stalking, manipulating AI, and spreading rumors—they’re doing all of this to an innocent person; they seriously have some mental issues.

- I can’t even imagine living like that… being watched 24/7 in your own home? This is terrifying

- These stalkers are insane. Jungkook deserves privacy, not this nightmare happening at his doorstep 

- Just thinking about someone spying on him in his own apartment gives me chills. How is this allowed?!

- Absolutely disgusting. No one should have to live in fear in their own home. These people are sick!
