Ann said, “When I realized I was caught in the shutter, the store owner did not know I was shouting,” adding, “When the shutter was fully raised, I shouted the store owner’s name. Then the owner came out and rescued me.” She added, “I don’t know why I held onto the cart at that time.” Ann also joked, “I have to handle the fame I gained. I will always be wearing makeup.”
