The victim posted a series of tweets detailing the horrifying ordeal, seeking information from any attendees who may have seen anything suspicious.
Hi. During today’s K-World Festa, specifically at the second half of Red Velvet’s “Power Up” performance, I had a man whose face was completely covered up come behind me. He spilled something down my back and bottom. At first, I thought it was water that he had spilled by mistake, since we were at a standing zone. After the performance, however, when I tried to wipe it off once the lights went on

안녕하세요
오늘 케이월드페스타 레드벨벳 파워업 후반부 공연도중 뒤에서 얼굴을 꽁꽁싸맨 남자가 제 등쪽과 엉덩이 부분에 무언가 흐르는걸 느꼈습니다
저는 그 무언가가 흐르는것을 처음에는 스탠딩이라 그냥 물을 실수로 쏟아나? 라고 생각했습니다
하지만 공연이 끝나고 불이켜진후 닦으려고 pic.twitter.com/M9rSIjzxWq— 너라는 봄✨ (@taeng031126) August 16, 2019
I realized it was something sticky. I got really scared so I asked the guards for help. The guards helped wipe the substance off of me and tried to comfort me. I have never had anything like this happen to me before, so I don’t know how I should react, which is why I’m writing this. If anyone has seen a suspicious man in D section, please DM me. I am desperate for any info.

SM should do something about this.Protect your artist and the fans. Majority of luvies were girls and look its a kid. Women are not some instruments of your sexual desires and fantasies #ProtectRedVelvetandReveluv
