A Brazilian woman has received a suspended prison term for going to BTS K-pop star Jungkook's house repeatedly despite warnings to stay away - even ringing the doorbell 133 times on one such visit.

The woman, who has not been identified, first started stalking Jungkook in December last year. She also tried to leave letters and photographs at his doorstep in what she said was "out of love" for the 28-year-old singer.

A district court in Seoul sentenced her to one year in prison, suspended for two years.

She is also expected to be deported from South Korea, unless she manages to successfully appeal against the verdict.

The woman, who has not been named in court documents, first visited Jungkook's home in Seoul on 7 December, where she loitered around the property, threw items over the wall, and stuffed letters through gaps in the door.

Days later, she visited again and rang the doorbell 133 times, an act that the court said demonstrated an "extreme level of obsession".

She was arrested on 13 December, when she tailed a food delivery worker to enter the property through a side gate. She was released the next day with a warning to not approach the property again – which she ignored.

Her visits continued in the next few weeks, leading police to issue an emergency order prohibiting her from coming within 100m of the property.

Even then, she was relentless. Police finally referred her to prosecutors in February after she continued to visit Jungkook's home.

In total, she went to the property some 22 times, the court heard.

Speaking in court, a district judge said his ruling took into account several mitigating factors, including how her risk of re-offending was "not significant".

In June last year, a Chinese woman in her 30s was arrested in Seoul trying to break into Jungkook's home just hours after he completed military service.
