DJ Soda protested that she was kicked out of the plane because of her ‘pants’.

On the 26th, DJ Soda posted a long article on her social network service (SNS), starting with, “Yesterday, after my New York concert, I got on a plane to LA, and I was suddenly kicked out just before departure.”

It happened because of the profanity printed on the pants that DJ Soda was wearing.

DJ Soda said, “I wore these pants that I received as a gift from an American brand and went on a US tour for several months without any problems. He sat in business class and was drinking a welcome drink right before departure, but suddenly a male employee came and told him to leave without giving any reason.”

He said, “In front of the entrance to the plane, my pants were ‘unpleasant’ and told me to take another plane.”

DJ Soda, who could not miss the flight for an important meeting, said that he would change his pants, but he added that he was rejected.

“I had no choice but to take off my pants at the entrance of the plane where everyone was watching”

DJ Soda said, “I had no choice but to take off my pants at the entrance of the plane, where everyone was watching. “But even though I had my pants off and nothing on, they sarcastically asked me if I had taken off my pants before boarding the plane.”

“He already told me that he couldn’t take me on this plane because he was too uncomfortable with my pants and told me to keep taking another plane,” he added.

Eventually, he said he was able to get back on the plane with his pants on.

DJ Soda said, “It was really humiliating to take off my pants in front of the airplane entrance, where everyone was watching, and to ask for a ride on the plane with my pants off was really humiliating. I just arrived trembling with anxiety,” he wrote.

He continued, “It’s the first time I’ve been kicked out of a plane while on tour in eight years. It was the first time I took my pants off in front of everyone. Moreover, I can’t believe this has happened in the United States, a country that respects individual liberty. I don’t think this should ever happen to anyone again.”

DJ Soda also posted the article in English.

Meanwhile, DJ Soda, who officially debuted in 2016, has been active throughout Asia after signing a record distribution contract with Warner Music, a world-renowned record label, in 2018.
