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

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.

I really want to nail him down and make sure this doesn’t happen to anybody else ever again. Please RT this for me. I need all the help I can get.
