On February 18, the second night of the 31st Hanteo Music Awards was held at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza, in Seoul. The highly anticipated ceremony had everyone hyped, as many fans cheered for their favorite artists in their awarding and exciting performances.
However, on social media, reports of an audience member having "pooped" inside the venue went viral on platform X (Twitter).
This was accompanied by several photos showing several K-pop idols covering their noses to block the stench. Some clips showed the event being thrown in a state of panic and alarm.

Attendees shared that security arrived at the scene and verified that it was indeed fecal matter. They also claimed that the poop could not be cleaned, which led it to persist until the awarding ceremony had ended.
"They said someone pooped on the stand near the trestle of Hanteo. The security guard came to see it and upon checking, he said it was poop and left."
"After checking, it's poop. I wrote this exactly as I heard, and in fact, I checked the poop and found it well. Don't push it, and said over the radio that there was poop here, and left."

They looked at it, but they said they couldn't clean it up and that there was nothing they could do. It smelled like s**t and this is the only one I remember from the Hanteo Chart Awards."
