What happens when a fan visits a famous singer's home 20 times in just eight weeks?

This question became real in South Korea. A woman from Brazil came to the home of Jungkook. Jungkook is a member of BTS, a very famous K-pop group. She visited his home many, many times. Police say she rang the doorbell over 130 times in total.

Visiting someone's home so often is a problem. It is called stalking. Stalking means following or visiting someone without permission. It makes people feel afraid and unsafe in their own homes.

The woman visited the house about 20 times. She did this in less than two months. That is almost every day! Neighbors saw her many times. Police had to get involved to stop her.

Now South Korea is thinking about what to do. The government may deport her. Deport means send someone back to their own country. This is a serious punishment. It happens when someone breaks important laws.

This story shows something interesting about famous people. When you are famous, many people want to see you. Some fans feel very close to their favorite singers. But visiting someone's home without asking is never okay. It is not romantic. It is not normal. It is scary.

The singer could not feel safe. He could not enjoy his own home. This is why the law protects people's privacy. Privacy means having your own space that is just for you.

Do you think deporting this person is fair? Or should there be a different punishment? What would you do if someone kept coming to your home?
