DJ Soda “Famous Japanese director publicly remarks that I am a flower snake”

DJ Soda mentioned an unfortunate incident that occurred during a performance in Japan.

DJ Soda appeared on MBC Every1's 'I'm Angry Now', which aired on the 26th.

On that day's broadcast, Dex asked, "There was a bad controversy in Japan. They said there was something so unpleasant that it ranked first in real-time search terms in Japan for about a week. What exactly happened?" DJ Soda replied, "I was performing as usual, singing at the end of the stage and going down. But suddenly."

DJ Soda, who couldn't speak easily, even shed tears. He confessed, “Actually, it took a lot of courage for me to say this.” He added, "I approached the fans while singing as usual, but several people touched my chest. I was holding a microphone with one arm, so they were pulling on my other arm, so I had no choice but to be helpless."

DJ Soda said, "At that time, it was the first time during an overseas performance that my hand suddenly felt under my clothes. After it was over, I felt like a monkey in a zoo. This was the first time I felt so embarrassed." Dex, who heard this, said, “There is clearly a line, and the line has definitely been crossed.” Kwon Yul added, “This is a crime.”

DJ Soda said, "Fans were taking pictures of me a lot. The video was spread all over social media, so my face was revealed." Park Myung-soo said, “I know that the police caught him and took action.” DJ Soda explained, “We have delegated the case to the festival side and decided to file the complaint, so we are proceeding in that way.”

In addition, DJ Soda said, "I was upset that public opinion was being influenced by other things rather than just sexual harassment, so I posted a long message on social media." Dex said, "The long article that Soda posted on social media became a hot topic in Korea. The problem is that they say there was a secondary victim after seeing the article." DJ Soda said, "A famous Japanese animation director publicly called me a snake. How can someone who makes children's cartoons make such a statement?"

DJ Soda said, "You're being punished because you're dressed like that. If you were dressed like that, you're not asking to be touched," adding that there were secondary assaults in Korea as well. Dex said, “Shouldn’t we report it and have them take legal action?”
