found herself in a harrowing situation as she narrowly escaped a potential attack on the red carpet. The event was held at Inspire Arena in Incheon, Seoul, on Monday, December 25,
Hosted by SHINee’s Key, IVE’s Ahn Yu-jin, and TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s Yeonjun, the event boasted an impressive lineup of performers, with the 22-year-old singer Winter set to grace the stage.
However, as Winter walked down the red carpet, an unidentified man holding a camera, abruptly rushed towards her in what seemed like an attempt to harm the K-pop idol.
Fortunately, before any harm could befall Winter, vigilant bodyguards swiftly intervened, tackling the assailant and averting a potential disaster.
Security personnel promptly escorted the man out of the premises, yet he persisted in his resistance and continued attempts to approach Winter, who was visibly shaken by the unexpected and distressing incident. The alarming encounter was captured on video and subsequently shared on social media, eliciting a wave of disgust from fans who were appalled by the bizarre and threatening behaviour displayed by the unidentified man.
The incident serves as a stark reminder of the challenges and security concerns faced by K-pop idols, even in seemingly controlled environments like red carpet events.
