Kwon Eunbi faces sexual harassment claims at university festival amid Waterbomb controversy
A netizen shared a firsthand account of Kwon Eunbi being sexually harassed during a university festival performance in Daejeon. The incident reportedly involved a male audience member shouting an inappropriate remark about Eunbi’s breasts when she tried to engage with the crowd using a microphone.
The original post has been deleted, but the netizen claimed they witnessed it personally at their former university. They also mentioned a video of the incident exists on the school’s online forum but withheld the name to protect current students.
This revelation comes amid ongoing backlash over Eunbi’s provocative Waterbomb stage performance and outfit earlier this year, which divided public opinion.
Many fans and netizens expressed sympathy, stating Eunbi should not face harassment regardless of her outfit choice. Others questioned how much agency Eunbi had over the bold concept, highlighting concerns about her well-being.
Fans are calling out Eunbi’s agency Woollim Entertainment and the university for failing to protect her and take action against the offender.
A Twitter user summed up the outrage:
“the institution should have taken responsibility, issued a public apology, and suspended that man. you’re not protecting the students by hiding where it happened; you’re protecting the abuser.”
Another added:
“you’re still shit at protecting your artists i see @/woollim_ent”
The incident has reignited debate about respecting female idols’ choices without subjecting them to harassment or blame. Supporters want Eunbi to perform freely without fear or humiliation.
No official statements from Woollim Entertainment or the university have been made about the allegations. The netizen’s post remains the only direct account currently available.
