Twitter is buzzing over a group of dancing Pikachus, especially the one that had an unfortunate costume mishap.

The bizarre scene took place Sunday at the Pokemon World Festival in Seoul, according to Buzzfeed. One festival event featured 15 dancing Pikachus. About a minute into the performance, the costume of the character in the front of the ensemble begins to deflate. The dancer gamely tries to continue performing, then four purported security guards rush the stage and drag away the deflating Pikachu.

The 14 other Pikachus continued their performance.

While some Twitter users expressed concern at the harsh reaction to the deflating Pikachu, one user pointed out that it was probably a safety concern, as the deflating costume could have been suffocating the person inside.

Whatever the reason, people can't stop watching the deflating Pikachu.
