A social welfare centre Is under fire for invading the privacy of BTS‘s Jungkook's family.

As we know that Jungkook is from Busan although he moved up to Seoul later on to pursue his dreams. His grandmother used to stay in a village named Yeonje-gu, Busan. it is unknown where his family currently resides.

Recently, a social welfare center in Busan has come under fire for exploiting and “invading the privacy” of BTS‘s Jungkook and his family. 

The issue took place when the village map was distributed by the Yeonje-gu Yeonsan Combined Social Welfare Center. The map depicted various public facilities and tourist attractions.

A label on the map which caught many eyes was highlighted in big size that showed the neighbourhood where Jungkook’s maternal grandma used to reside. The label was one of the largest in size and placed right near the middle for people to see easily.

The label reads as: "The house that BTS Jungkook’s grandmother used to live in. (Currently empty)"

In the map, it was clarified as a tourist attraction and facility. The social welfare center claimed that they added the house to “enrich” the tourism in the village and felt it would be okay since no one currently lives there.

Here is what social  Welfare Center, "When we were creating the map, we did not simply seek to make it informative but also to include fun elements in it. Hence, we ended up including the information concerning the singer. We thought that it would enrich the things to see in the village."

Naturally, tourists began to flock to the quiet neighbourhood, which subsequently disturbed the people who currently live in the area. An elderly resident complained that strangers had been coming to ask about the address of the house.
