On the night of March 2, 2025, Emiru visited Los Angeles, California as a guest on Sis-a-thon — a week-long IRL live streaming marathon hosted by fellow streamers Valkyrae and Cinna — when she and the other streamers were targeted by a stalker at Pacific Park on the Santa Monica Pier. A man had approached the live streamers and asked Emiru for her phone number, who declined but offered to take a photo with him. The man would change clothes and reapproach the women again over a half hour later, asking Emiru again for her number after they got off the Ferris wheel. The man became aggressive after they told him no again, threatening to kill the streamers and requiring to be held back by the cameraman as they called for park security. They later ended the marathon early and contacted the police.

In October 2025, Emiru was attacked by a crazed fan at TwitchCon whilst holding a meet-and-greet. No one, including Emiru, were injured.

Emiru is of Chinese and German descent.
