Prosecutors said Tuesday they have indicted a fan held in custody for allegedly stalking Jungkook of K-pop boy band BTS and trespassing at his residence in central Seoul.

The Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office said it indicted the fan last week on charges of violating the Act on Punishment of Stalking Crimes and trespassing. The suspect allegedly visited Jungkook's home around 20 times, pressing the doorbell or leaving letters from December to January.

The fan, a foreign national, told prosecutors that she committed such acts "out of love for Jungkook."

She initially caught in the act and arrested in December, but was later released. Police had prohibited her from coming within 100 meters (328 feet) of the star's residence in Yongsan District, central Seoul.

Police referred her to prosecutors in February after she continued attempting to visit Jungkook's home.
