Solar, a member of the K-pop group Mamamoo, has disclosed that she was attacked by a man while traveling overseas, according to Koreaboo.
The incident took place in Los Angeles, where the singer said a stranger threw a wooden chair that struck her, as reported by multiple outlets including CNA Lifestyle and Complex. Solar shared the account herself, though the specific date and circumstances surrounding the attack were not detailed in the initial reports.
The revelation has drawn attention because Solar is a prominent third-generation female idol, a label used to describe K-pop acts that debuted in the mid-2010s. Mamamoo, known for its vocal prowess, has maintained a strong international following, making the news of the attack resonate with fans worldwide.
According to the coverage from Korean media outlets such as Chosun Ilbo and Maeil Business Newspaper, Solar described the encounter as sudden and unprovoked. She did not indicate whether she sustained serious injuries or whether she reported the matter to local authorities in Los Angeles.
The news comes as K-pop artists increasingly spend time abroad for tours, recordings, and personal schedules, raising questions about their safety outside of their home country. Fans have expressed concern over the incident, though Solar has not publicly elaborated further on her condition or the aftermath of the attack.
What to watch next: Whether Solar or her agency, RBW Entertainment, releases a formal statement with additional details about the incident and any legal steps taken.
