However, the festive atmosphere was briefly interrupted when fans witnessed a man leaping from his seat and rushing toward the stage just as aespa members were about to begin their performance.

The security team, seemingly comprising three bodyguards and one venue security staff, acted quickly and managed to apprehend the man before he could make it onto the stage. He was then forcibly removed from the venue, ensuring the safety of the members and allowing the show to continue.
