On August 5, Park Seo Joon appeared at a special screening of his upcoming movie Concrete Utopia.

On this day, the actor along, with his co-stars Lee Byung Hun and Park Bo Young, stood in front of the theatre, where they greeted fans.

After greeting fans, lucky fans were selected to receive gifts. A host at the premiere called up winners who came on stage to receive their prizes.

One fan, however, then charged the stage despite not being called up. The fan then approached Park Seo Joon before forcing herself on him. Park Seo Joon looked visibly uncomfortable but obliged the fan before security intervened.

Netizens criticized the fan and the security at the premiere, with many stating that security should have prevented the fan from getting so close to the actors.

아 참. 이런분이 없길 바라며 공유하는 영상. CGV서면 무대인사 중에 벌어진 일입니다. 좌석번호 호명해서 선물을 받아가던 시간에 호명받지도 않은 분이 나가길래 뭐지? 했는데 대뜸 #박서준 배우를 끌어안더군요. 그것도 엄연한 성추행입니다. 배우님들께 허락없이 스킨십 하려 하지 마세요. pic.twitter.com/don4Z8umkf

What the… I am sharing this in the hopes that no one does this. This occurred during the premiere at CGV. I was shocked when a person who didn’t even win just went up. Then all of a sudden, she hugged Park Seo Joon. This is sexual harassment. Don’t try to touch the actors without their consent.

저도 무대인사가봤는데 아무나 들어오게하고 뭐 신체검사도 없던걸로 기억하는데 위험하네요 배우들도

그냥 영화보러왔다가 무대인사 하는지도 모르고
어떨결에 배우분들 보신분들도 여럿있는거 같던데

I was also at the premiere and they didn’t check the audience for weapons, and anyone was allowed in. It is dangerous for the actors. There were some people there that didn’t even know the actors would be greeting us.
