Seoul police said Thursday that they are investigating a woman in her 30s for allegedly stalking rapper Beenzino. According to police, the suspect repeatedly visited Beenzino's home in Seongbuk District, Seoul, prompting the rapper to file a complaint.
The woman also reportedly made multiple visits to the office of the clothing brand IAB Studio, where Beenzino serves as co-owner. Beenzino is not alone in being chased by stalkers, as many K-pop idols have been grappling with similar harassment cases. Lee Jun-ho, a member of the K-pop boy band 2PM, recently opened up about his experience being stalked while appearing on the YouTube series "Salon de Lip 2" on Tuesday.
"The doorbell rang at 3 a.m., so I answered through the intercom .
.. I was scared, but I had to know who it was.
When I asked, the person gave me a random name," Lee said, describing the late-night incident. He went on to describe another terrifying moment — "One day, I came home, and before the sensor light even turned on, someone called me by 'oppa' (a Korean term that translates to 'older brother'). I was really shocked.
I kept calm and asked who it was, and they replied, 'It's me,'.
