Celebrities are increasingly becoming the target of crimes, from physical attacks to privacy violation and stalking
On November 20, it was revealed that Super Junior’s Kyuhyun was injured while trying to stop a knife incident.
According to the Gangseo Police Station in Seoul, at around 6 p.m. on November 19 (KST), a woman in her 30s invaded a musical dressing room and attacked an actor from the musical with a knife. Kyuhyun, who had come to the dressing room to support fellow actors, was injured while trying to stop A. Fortunately, the injury was a minor bruise, and no additional victims occurred. However, it was a precarious moment that could have led to a serious accident if something had gone wrong. The police have arrested A on charges of special threats and are conducting an investigation.
Previously on November 17, a woman in her 20s (hereinafter referred to as B) who stalked BTS’s V was handed over to the prosecution. B is accused of stalking, waiting in front of V’s residence, following V into the apartment parking lot after he drove in, taking the elevator, and speaking to him. B had visited V’s house several times before and even delivered a marriage declaration to the BTS member.
After the incidents became known, V reassured fans, saying, “I’m okay. Don’t worry.” However, stalking is a serious criminal act that invades personal privacy and safety.
These two incidents are not isolated cases. BTS, SEVENTEEN, Rain and Kim Tae-hee, Lee Chan-won, Park Seo-joon, KARA’s Park Gyu-ri, and others have also reported stalking incidents. Meanwhile, there have been cases where audience members escaped security and went on stage to approach CL from 2NE1, Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon, Kim Jang-hoon, Wheesung, and other stars. TVXQ’s Yunho received treatment for panic disorder after a terror incident in the past, while Noh Hong-chul suffered a full-body injury after being assaulted by an anti-fan in front of his apartment.
It seems that crimes against stars are becoming increasingly severe and frequent, raising concerns.
