일본 팬미팅 2일차 1회차 카메라 존나 잡고 쫓겨나는데 남자 씨큐가 가슴안에 손 넣고 브라 털어보라 하고 치마 입었는데 치마 들추고 손 넣어봄 저는 폰카했는데 렌즈 찾는다고 이지랄을 위시 앞에서 씨발 제가 성추행 당하려고 빠질하나요

I was at the first session on the second day of the Japan fan meeting. Security was kicking out people with cameras, and the guard put his hand inside my chest and told me to shake my bra and put his hand up my skirt. I was filming with my phone camera and they were doing this to me to try and find a lens. They did all this in front of NCT WISH…F*ck I don’t do K-Pop just to be sexually assaulted like this…

They lifted my skirt, touched me all over, grabbed my arms, pulled me, and got bruises. This isn’t just about trying to kick out people with cameras; they didn’t even let me take my bag. They didn’t return your phone unless your passport, Anypass, and Weverse name matched. I came here because I wanted to see my favorite group, and I don’t have anything to say about filming, but isn’t the treatment I received some form of anti-Korean sentiment?

They also shared photos of their arm which was covered in cuts and bruises.

Netizens were absolutely furious and urged the fan to press charges.

• “The K-Pop fandom never changes…there’s no solution to this.”
• “Don’t you need to report this?”
• “Crazy…”
• “You need to sue them…this is crazy…Is this Japan?”
• “Even if she wants to sue, because it’s overseas, people need to inform them where to report these situations.”
• “We need to make this public and boycott…but because this doesn’t work within the fandom, we can only criticize the agency…”
• “The only way out is to leave the K-Pop fandom…do they really think these girls are stupid…”
