Highlighting the importance of self-defense and drawing attention to the situation, Soyou advocated for the use of elbows to create distance and garner assistance from bystanders.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE NETIZENS' COMMENTS: 

It's funny because Soyou and Dasom explain it in a cheerful way, but honestly, it's a bit sad because it must have been very difficult to even smile and say it 

I don't care that it's a broadcast, but it's too much fun to talk about sexual harassment and other topics that are a problem these days without hesitation... 

I want to see the 4-member SISTAR!! Please come and show some live discipline~ 

Of all the girl groups, I like SISTAR the best! The song, personality, and appearance 

There are a lot of behind-the-scenes stories that I didn't know about
