A burglary occurred at the home of actress Kim Kyu-ri.
According to a report by Channel A on May 21, a man in his 40s unlawfully entered Kim's residence in Bukchon Hanok Village, Jongno District, Seoul, around 9 p.m. the previous night, attempting to commit robbery before fleeing the scene.
A woman living with Kim discovered the intruder, who reportedly attempted to steal money but was caught in the act and fled. During the incident, the woman sustained injuries.
Police began their pursuit after receiving a report from Kim's side stating that the burglar was trying to bind them. The suspect surrendered to authorities approximately three hours after the incident.
This incident follows a similar case in November of the previous year, when actress Nana was also victimized by a home invasion alongside her mother.
Kim Kyu-ri has previously showcased her traditional hanok home on a television program, where she also shared insights into her work as a Korean artist.
As more programs feature celebrity homes, concerns are rising about the potential for such residences to become targets for violent crimes like burglary.
Meanwhile, police have arrested the man who turned himself in on charges of robbery and injury, and they will determine whether to seek an arrest warrant after investigating the premeditated nature of the crime.
