A 20-year-old sasaeng fan who broke into the girl group New Jeans ‘dorm and committed theft has been brought to trial.
On April 25, the Seoul Western District Prosecutors’ Office indicted a man in his 20s, Mr.A, without detention on charges of trespassing and theft for entering the New Jeans dormitory without permission and stealing items.According to the prosecution, Mr.A broke into the New Jeans dormitory in Yongsan-gu, Seoul on December 21 of last year and stole items inside, including hangers and placards.

The investigation revealed that Mr.A’s crimes did not end with this one incident.The police confirmed that Mr.A had also broken into the same residence on December 18th of last year, three days before the incident.It was revealed that he had returned to the residence again afterward and broken into the residence when the door was unlocked.New Jeans terminated his exclusive contract with his agency Adore in November of last year and left the residence that same month.

This incident is shocking because it is linked to the ‘New Jeans Dormitory Terrorist Notice’ incident that was posted on an online community in August of last year.At the time, the writer, whose identity was not revealed, posted a threatening message saying, “I have identified the New Jeans Dormitory,” and “Next time, I will find out the lake and come.” However, it has not been confirmed whether Mr.A, the suspect in this theft case, wrote the message.

This incident occurred after the dispute over New Jeans ‘exclusive contract, and is adding to the concerns of fans.Last November, the members of New Jeans announced the termination of their contract due to Adore’s violation of their exclusive contract and have been continuing their independent activities.In February, they announced their activities by revealing a new team name of ‘NJZ’ instead of ‘New Jeans’, but Adore filed a lawsuit to confirm the validity of their exclusive contract and an injunction to prohibit the signing of advertising contracts.The court ruled in favor of Adore, and as a result, their independent activities as NJZ came to nothing.The members have currently declared a halt to their activities.
