A Pokémon festival took place in Songdo, South Korea, this past weekend, though a viral clip from the event has shown that the celebration of the Japanese pocket monsters didn't go over too smoothly.

During a wonderful bit of interpretive dance from a group of Pikachu to Hairspray's "You Can't Stop the Beat," one of the lightning mice suffered a wardrobe malfunction and began to deflate just as it stepped to the front of the herd for a solo.

Realizing what was happening, a mob of men in suits appeared to restrain the deflated Pikachu and haul it away. It's a bit disturbing to witness, to say the least. 

Take in the tackle at around the 1:10 mark of the video below.
