When popular South Korean performer DJ Soda posted on social media that she was groped by audience members at a music festival in Osaka Prefecture earlier this week, it sparked a public conversation about the prevalence of groping in Japan.

DJ Soda posted on Instagram to her 5 million-plus followers that several people grabbed her breasts when she was interacting with her fans in the crowd, and that she had ¡°never ever experienced anything like this in my 10 years as a DJ.¡±

The event organizer vowed to identify and take legal action against the perpetrators.
