During a recent live stream in South Korea, social media influencer IShowSpeed, real name Darren Jason Watkins Jr., had a surprising encounter with a dog that left him with a bitten nose. 

The incident occurred approximately 23 minutes into his live stream on Tuesday night, when Speed began barking at a dog held by a passerby. The situation escalated quickly as the dog reacted by biting Speed on the nose.

Following the bite,Speed, known for his energetic and often unpredictable behavior, responded with a mix of shock and humor. 

He repeated in disbelief, "He just f*****g bit me!" while checking for blood on his nose. Concerned about the dog's health status, he questioned, "Does he have rabies?" and humorously inquired how to say "F*** y*u" in Korean to a nearby bystander, who suggested he stick to English.

Despite the initial shock and some bleeding from the side of his nose,Speed quickly regained his composure and joked about suing while clarifying, "I'm trolling, I'm trolling." 

Acknowledging his role in the incident, he admitted, "It was my fault," and reassured the dog, "You're okay, you're okay."

IShowSpeed's adventures in Korea have been eventful, involving interactions with both animals and humans.

His trip even included a brief detention at the North Korean border by the military after he attempted to stream his crossing, leading to the confiscation of his streaming equipment. 

"I went to go to North Korea, right?" he explained in the stream. "I tried to bring my LiveU and stream and stuff. They took my LiveU, they took my stream."
