Did stalker fans track BTS' Jungkook and Jimin in Europe? ARMY calls for privacy after idols spotted in Switzerland

Did stalker fans track BTS' Jungkook and Jimin in Europe? ARMY calls for privacy after idols spotted in Switzerland

Time of India26-06-2025
Fresh off completing their mandatory military service earlier this month, BTS leader RM aka Kim Namjoon and the two youngest members, Jimin and Jungkook, left South Korea to begin filming various projects. On June 25, Namjoon shared a series of serene Instagram photos confirming his current location: Switzerland.
The scenic getaway has not only delighted fans but also reignited speculation about a possible reunion project with fellow members Jimin and Jungkook - who also appear to be in the same country.
From Art Basel to Alpine Calm
Namjoon traveled to Switzerland to attend Art Basel 2025, which was held from June 19 to 22 in Basel. Since then, he has extended his stay, seemingly enjoying the picturesque countryside with friends and possibly HYBE staff.
This marks RM's first overseas trip since being discharged from mandatory military service on June 10. He previously reunited with all BTS members at J-Hope's HOPE ON THE STAGE concert in Seoul on June 13 - their debut anniversary.
In his latest Instagram post, the rapper is seen sipping wine, surrounded by nature and art - a perfect embodiment of "Namjooning," a term coined by fans to describe RM's love for reflection, travel, and culture.
Is "Are You Sure?" making a comeback?
Fan excitement surged when sightings of Jimin and Jungkook in Switzerland surfaced online. The duo starred in Are You Sure?, a pre-enlistment travel series beloved by fans. Now, with all three members reportedly in Europe, ARMYs are speculating that a second season may be in the works - this time with RM possibly joining the cast.
Privacy concerns cloud the buzz
However, the growing excitement has been tainted by concerns over privacy. Reports suggest that a few fan accounts have tracked Jimin and Jungkook's every move - from their hotel to local restaurants - sparking serious concern among ARMY. Many have taken to social media to condemn such behavior, urging others to respect the members' personal space while they enjoy their time abroad.
Jungkook stalked a day after discharge
Privacy issues surrounding BTS' Jungkook have long been a concern for fans - and recent events have only intensified those worries. Months before his military discharge, Jungkook voiced unease during a surprise Weverse live in December 2024. While offering fans a glimpse of his new home, he admitted he felt uncomfortable after seeing videos online that revealed its exact location.
He took the opportunity to once again urge sasaengs - obsessive fans who stalk idols - to respect his privacy and stop attempting to find his residence.
That warning, however, went unheeded. Just a day after his discharge from the military, a Chinese woman in her 30s was caught loitering outside Jungkook's Yongsan apartment. She had reportedly waited over 11 hours and was even seen trying random passcodes in an attempt to gain entry. Concerned neighbors called the police, and the woman was subsequently arrested.

After sharing screen space with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in Sardaar Ji 3, actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh found himself at the centre of a heated controversy. The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) urged the makers of Border 2 to reconsider Dilijit's casting. Soon after, speculation began swirling online that the actor had been dropped from the much-anticipated war drama. However, the Amar Singh Chamkila star put those rumours to rest on Wednesday by sharing a behind-the-scenes video from the sets of Border 2 on his Instagram handle. In the clip, Diljit is seen donning a crisp formal suit, walking out of his vanity van with pride, and posing with jawans—all while the iconic song 'Ke Ghar Kab Aaoge' from Border plays in the background. Border 2 also stars Varun Dhawan, Sunny Deol, and Ahan Shetty in key roles. A post shared by DILJIT DOSANJH (@diljitdosanjh) Though Sardaar Ji 3 was pulled from an Indian release, Diljit Dosanjh shared its trailer and song teaser on social media—one of which spotlighted Pakistani actress Hania Aamir.

Speaking to BBC Asian Network about Sardaar Ji 3, Diljit Dosanjh said, 'I signed the film back in February. Things are not in our control. The producers have invested a lot of money in the film. If they decide to release it overseas, I have to support them.' Diljit is also a co-producer on Sardaar Ji 3. The controversy has divided public opinion— with some applauding his professionalism, while others questioning his choices. Border 2 is all set to release on January 23 next year.
