Recently, Suzy has become center of an online debate as the victim of a sexual harassment at an outdoor event.

At the event, Suzy was standing in front of 6000 people in the "Sprite Shower" water gun festival in Sinchon, Seoul, Korea. When a male MC introduced Suzy, he was seen touching her thigh twice, making her confused for a moment. The fancam videos were spread quickly on the Internet and people were showing their anger and mixed feelings towards the incident.

Responded to the issue, JYP Entertainment dismissed the rumor and said, "There was no such an accident. It was the video angle that make people misunderstand".
