"Fight with a passerby for 5 minutes and get a star balloon"... BJ, provokes on the street following viewer's mission

[Financial News]  A BJ conducting an internet broadcast was seen provoking a passerby by saying "What are you staring at?" in a video that spread online.

This BJ reportedly acted this way after a viewer said, "I'll give you a star balloon (internet broadcast donation) if you provoke a passerby."
According to Money Today on the 28th, BJ A conducted a live broadcast on the streaming platform Soop (SOOP, formerly AfreecaTV) on the 27th, where he had a confrontation with a passerby.

The incident started with a comment left by a viewer. The viewer suggested, "Try provoking someone on the street. Fight for 5 minutes", "3 minutes for 10,000 star balloons, 5 minutes for 50,000. Less than 3 minutes doesn't count." A immediately acted on the suggestion.

A, addressing a passerby who appeared elderly, said, "What are you glaring at?", "Why are you looking at me in a way that makes me uncomfortable?" The passerby apologized, saying, "I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable. I just thought your blue hair looked cool." However, A repeatedly emphasized, "Apologize properly. I feel very bad."

As if trying to meet the viewer's requested time, A's provocation did not stop there.

A also threatened the passerby by saying, "Does everything end with an apology? If I hit you and apologize, does it end there?" He even stopped the passerby who was trying to leave by saying, "Where are you going?"

To this, the passerby retorted, "What do you want me to do? I've apologized twice. What more do you want? Call the police. What's so bad about a person looking at another person?"

After the promised time with the viewer passed, A changed his attitude and apologized to the passerby. Later, A also bowed to the viewers, saying, "This doesn't suit me. I got a bit carried away when they offered 30,000 or 50,000. I'm sorry."

The broadcast that day was shared on online communities and social networking services (SNS), causing controversy.

Netizens criticized, "Such BJs should be permanently banned", "The viewers who suggest such things and the BJs who follow them are the same", "BJs have been doing the same things for 10 years".

As the controversy grew, Soop announced, "We have permanently suspended the accounts of both A and the viewer who instructed the mission."
