Congratulations to him.
Today, I experienced racial discrimination at Rock in Rio 2026.
I completely understand that when there are a lot of people and everyone gets excited, people end up pushing each other, but they were shoving me in a clearly malicious way. Even when we had to make space for the rescue team to get through and I had to push to make room, they shoved me back with incredible force.
I somehow endured it throughout the event, but it kept getting worse and worse. As the time for Stray Kids’ performance got closer, they started hitting, kicking, and pinching me as well. In the end, I was being pushed so hard that it became difficult for me to breathe, so I had to be rescued by the rescue team.
Even when I was being pulled out over the barricade, the people around me started cheering and applauding. Honestly, I felt more scared than angry.
My elbow only accidentally hit the girl next to me, but she lied to security and told them that I had hit her. At that time, security told me that they would kick me out. But when I was being kicked and hit on the head, they pretended not to see it, and even when I told security what was happening, they ignored me. What is the point of having security then?
I came all the way to Brazil for this event, and the flights and hotel were definitely not cheap. I had been waiting in line since the day before, ran a lot, and after all that effort, I finally managed to get a spot directly in front of the stage. But I was forced to leave because of something so unfair, and while watching the performance that I had been looking forward to so much, I cried because I felt so sad and frustrated.
A lot of STAYs in Brazil helped me, and I understand that the people who did this are only a small minority, but what happened was honestly so horrible that it became traumatic for me.
I have never experienced anything like this or felt emotions like this before, and when I remember what happened, I feel so frustrated that I start crying.
eu to mt feliz pelo stray kids ta fazendo historia como primeiro grupo de kpop ser headliner no rock in rio, mas eu espero do fundo do meu coração que não coloquem mais kpop no rock in rio. isso aqui ta um verdadeiro inferno, gente mijando no chão, um monte de gente desmaiando, empurra empurra do crl. kpopper não sabe curtir show, tá todo mundo querendo alimentar relação parassocial com idol, achando que vai viver um momento s/n
grupos de kpop queridos que na minha cabeça não faz sentido terem haters:
- monsta x
- seventeen
- girls generation
- loona
- got7
- mamamoo
- new jeans
- btob
