[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] A man who visited the home of Soyeon (34, real name Park Soyeon), a former member of the group T-ara, has been booked by the police.

On the 25th, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul announced that they have booked and are investigating a man in his 30s, Mr. A, on charges of trespassing after he entered an apartment building in Gangnam-gu where Soyeon lives around 10 p.m. on the 10th of this month.

Mr. A reportedly entered through the front door of the apartment building where Soyeon resides and rang the doorbells of various units while looking for Soyeon, and was caught by police who responded to a report. Soyeon and Mr. A did not come face to face.

Soyeon is known to have been harassed for several years by a stalker who made death threats. A police official stated, "We are also investigating whether Mr. A had stalked Soyeon in the past."

Soyeon debuted in 2009 as a member of T-ara and was active as the main vocalist before leaving the group in 2017 after her contract with the agency expired.

Meanwhile, Jiyeon (28, real name Park Ji-yeon), a singer and actress also formerly of T-ara, recently received multiple death threats via social networking services (SNS) and has requested a police investigation. The case is currently registered with the Seongdong Police Station.
