DJ Soda was sexually assaulted by an audience member while performing at the Music Circus Festival held in Osaka, Japan, on the 13th of last month.

Tryhard Japan, the organizer of the Osaka performance, submitted photos and videos of the incident involving DJ Soda to the police on the 21st of last month and filed charges against two men and one woman for non-consensual molestation and assault. It was later reported that the perpetrators admitted to the charges and apologized to DJ Soda and the organizers.

At the time DJ Soda was sexually assaulted, some people locally criticized her, claiming that the damage she suffered in Japan was being exaggerated. DJ Soda stated that she harbors no ill feelings toward Japan and has many Japanese friends, expressing her positive feelings toward the country.

She also repeatedly emphasized that "this is not a problem of any one country, nor a Korea-Japan issue, nor a gender issue," stressing that the problem is sexual assault.
