A ReVeLuv who was excited about seeing Red Velvet at K-WORLD FESTA was sexually assaulted during their performance of “Power Up” on August 16, day two of the event. 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 — Twitter User taeng031126

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. — Twitter User taeng031126

닦으려고 보니 끈쩍끈쩍한 무언가가 흐르고 있었습니다 너무무서워서 울면서 가드분께 말씀을 드렸더니 흐르는 그무언가를 닦으면서 달래주셨습니다. 이런일이 처음이라 어떻게 해야할지몰라 우선 글을 남겨봅니다. d구역분들중 그남자를 보신준은 디엠을 정말 꼭부탁드립니다.. 정말 너무너무간절해요 — 너라는 봄✨ (@taeng031126) August 16, 2019

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 — Shin 💙 (@wannxsonn) August 16, 2019
