A literally blinding eye injury from a festival in South Korea has changed the life of Rabbit in the Moon’s Bunny forever.
| quote: | For more than a decade, Rabbit in the Moon has pushed the boundaries of live electronic music through stunning stage antics, theatrical costumery, and a dedication to expressing the best of life through their music. RITM frontman Bunny personifies what the group is all about, and he's become a sort of icon in the dance community. He is warm and gracious to eager fans who declare their obsession with him after a gig and accessible on stage and off for those who want to share in the love-filled rave or post rave experience.
It's a cruel irony then that Bunny would fall victim to an act of violence that has caused his near-blindness brought on by an audience member. This past May, Bunny and Rabbit in the Moon were hired to perform at the second Annual World DJ Festival in Seoul, South Korea. Bunny performed the first night and accompanied his friends DJ Dan and Donald Glaude to the festival the second night when they performed, assisting them with some technical and sound issues. It was the second night when a glass bottle, thrown by a member of the festival's crowd, was launched intentionally and directly at Bunny, hitting him squarely in his left eye, destroying his retina, lens, some skin underneath, and his vision. He talked exclusively to Big Shot about his ordeal and the painful aftermath. |
This is gut wrenching to hear. Anyone who has ever gone to see RITM live can attest to what great performers they are. |

| i can't stand people always wanting something for nothing, insurance isn't that much for full coverage, I get $18 a week taking out of my salary, that's not even one hour of working for me. |

that would be hard to do in seoul...the population of the city and its surroundings is 25 million...and they are really hard to tell apart.
