De-Inflating Pikachu Steals the Show in South Korea

Pikachu is one of the most famous Nintendo mascots to date. Recognized worldwide as the face of the Pokémon series, and featured as a protagonist in the anime series, Pikachu continues to take the world by storm. Recently a show in South Korea had a Pikachu suddenly start deflating in the middle of the musical number playing on stage. The dancer was then forcibly removed by from the stage by what appears to be South Korea's secret service.

The dance number itself is adorable and the whole show should be watched, but honestly this moment was the highlight of the entire story, as a member of the crew goes to rescue the imploding cast member and promptly gets attacked by the security crew in a move that demonstrates nothing, but obvious confusion. It was a sad, yet funny moment in Pokemon history.
