In a shocking revelation, a male sasaeng fan in his 20s has been indicted for unlawfully entering the former dorm of NewJeans, stealing items on multiple occasions. According to the Seoul Western District Prosecutors’ Office, the man, referred to as A, was charged without detention on April 25 for trespassing and theft.
Investigations revealed that A broke into the group’s old residence in Yongsan-gu, Seoul on December 21, 2023, stealing hangers, banners, and other items left behind. However, this was not the only incident, as A had reportedly trespassed on December 18 as well and returned again later, exploiting an unlocked door.
What’s particularly disturbing is that NewJeans had already vacated the dorm in November 2023 after terminating their contract with ADOR. Although the building was unoccupied, the breach raises serious concerns about privacy and idol safety.
This incident has drawn eerie parallels to an earlier “terror threat” post made in August 2023 on an online forum. The anonymous post claimed to have “pinpointed NewJeans’ dorm” and threatened further action. Authorities haven’t confirmed any link between the poster and A, but the timing has left fans shaken.

1. This is so creepy… I’m glad he was caught
2. People here trashed HYBE for ridiculous reasons, and now that this article came out, they’re flipping it into “they neglected dorm management and failed to block threats to the artist,” huh?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They didn’t even say a word before taking their stuff and leaving, and they didn’t even properly close the door. If they’d at least said something before leaving, the staff would’ve checked right away. And who let the trespassing happen? It was NewJeans. What, is ADOR supposed to check the dorms every day? If they did, you’d say that’s creepy too. I’ve seriously never seen a fandom like this. Min Heejin and her fans are the same, constantly twisting things and lying
3. Now they’re blaming HYBE for not securing an empty dorm properly. Is there anything those fans don’t blame HYBE for?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
4. Some random man entered a girl group’s dorms and the comments are all saying “phew, it wasn’t HYBE or a staff”? So weirdㅋㅋㅋㅋ
5. Wow so that means that the post claiming that ADOR’s staff entered their dorm with a body cam was also a lie?
6. Their fandom is just the worst
7. It’s probably the same person, this post was uploaded to the NewJeans gallery, right? Isn’t this the one that got slammed for supposedly being an ADOR staff member? I looked it up, and they posted a photo of the dorm at 3 a.m. on December 19… But the article says the trespassing happened on December 18ㅋㅋ How could this not be the same person?
8. Did NewJeans Gallery even have proof that the body cam was from an ADOR staff?
9. There are already clarification posts about the body cam incident being fake and that it was fabricated by the fans
10. So the fans lied and said that the sasaeng was an ADOR staff? Wow, their fandom is honestly the worst
