YOUNITE - EUNHO
YOUNITE member EUNHO was the target of an attempted sexual assault by a fan following a concert in Brazil.
On August 17 (local time), YOUNITE performed in São Paulo as part of the 18th Korean Culture Day. After the performance, while exiting the venue, it was revealed that a female fan had tried to forcibly kiss EUNHO.
The incident was caught on video and quickly spread across social media. In the footage, EUNHO can be seen being grabbed by the hand by a female attendee, who then tries to kiss him without his consent as he exits the venue. A security guard intervened immediately to stop the woman, and the group members quickly left the scene.
As the video gained attention online, netizens responded with outrage, denouncing the incident as a clear act of sexual harassment. The event organizers released a statement expressing their deep regret over the attempted forced kiss, calling it an act of sexual misconduct. They emphasized once again that no form of sexual harassment will be tolerated.
BrandNew Music, YOUNITE’s agency, also issued a statement:
“Following a recent performance, there was an incident in which the overly aggressive approach of certain fans endangered the safety of our artist. This poses a risk not only to the artist but also to the fans present at the venue.We ask that fans respect safety distances during artist schedules to ensure the well-being of everyone involved. For the safety of our artists and a healthy fan culture, we sincerely ask for your understanding, consideration, and cooperation.”
