240623 김포공항 입국 당시 저는 시큐에게 머리를 구 타당하였고, 당황한 저는 무시로 대응하였습니다. 첫번째 머리 구타 이후에도 시큐는 저에게 짜증 섞인 말투로 "붙지말라고" 라는 말과 함께 수차례 폭력을 가했습니 pic.twitter.com/KN1yR7OJ0v— 미니 (@symini0917) June 23, 2024
During the exchange, one of the idols can be seen turning to look at the fan several times in shock and concern.
The situation escalated to the point where Miss A claimed she had no choice but to leave the scene out of fear.
At that moment, I was so scared that I left and went home. When I got home, the area where I was hit hurt, and I had a headache..

She later reported that she experienced severe headaches and was diagnosed with a concussion at the hospital.
She’s a precious child to someone. I don’t understand how anyone can justify using violence in the name of protection. As a parent, this is extremely distressing.

The footage also revealed that Miss A was not the only fan mistreated that day. In fact, the security guard forcefully pushed several other fans aside.
The security guard, identified as Mr. B, claimed he only lifted Miss A’s hand and did not intend to cause harm.
I only lifted Miss A’s hand upward and did not intend to hit her.
