[Sportschosun reporter Park Ara] Rescene member Minami has sparked concern among fans after an unexpected incident while filming in Tokyo, Japan.
On the 19th, the YouTube channel "Hello, this is Won-i. Please support us" released a video titled "I asked if they really say 'yaho.'"
The video showed Rescene members Won-i and Minami transforming into Japanese gyaru-style looks and filming various content while moving around the Shibuya area in Tokyo. The two used trending phrases and concepts that have recently gone viral online, enjoying the local atmosphere and interacting with fans.
The troubling scene occurred while they were filming at Shibuya Scramble Crossing. Amid the heavy crowd, a man was seen suddenly changing direction and moving toward Minami and Won-i.
In particular, the man quickly approached Minami even though there was relatively open space around him. Minami appeared to notice and shifted her body to the side to avoid contact. No actual collision occurred, but the man's aggressive behavior was captured on video, drawing strong attention from fans.
Some viewers questioned whether the act was the so-called butsukari behavior that has been criticized as a social problem in Japan. Butsukari refers to deliberately bumping into another person and walking away in crowded places such as busy streets, train stations, and crosswalks. Cases targeting women, the elderly, and other vulnerable people have been reported repeatedly.
As the scene spread through online communities and social media, Japanese fans also expressed concern. Netizens reacted with comments such as "It looks like he approached her on purpose," "I'm glad Minami wasn't hurt," "She dodged the shoulder bump well," and "That shoulder bump is really infuriating," showing their anger.
Meanwhile, Rescene has recently been drawing attention as Won-i and Minami's gyaru-themed content has become a major topic of discussion. Riding that momentum, "LOVE ATTACK" has climbed back up the charts after its release, and Rescene is set to release the remake single "Pretty Girl" on July 8.
