An unexpected safety accident occured at a concert celebrating the 20th anniversary of Super Junior's debut.
On the 5th, during Super Junior's solo concert held at the KSPO Dome in Songpa-gu, Seoul, an accident occured where three audiences fell after a safety fence in the seating area collapsed because it failed to withstand the weight. The incident happened during the encore stage, which was the finale of the concert.
As Ryeowook approached the side of the seating area to interact, fans rushed toward the fence all at once to see him up close, causing the secured safety fence to tip over under the pressure because it couldn't handle the weight.
On the 6th, SM Entertainment released a statement regarding the conditions of the victims and their measures for handling the situation.
SM Entertainment explained, "The injured individuals were immediately transported to the hospital to receive necessary examinations and treatment," adding, "Medical staff have advised two weeks of rest and treatments due to sprains and bruises."
Immediately after the accident, the agency emphasized that protecting the victims is their top priority. SM Entertainment stated, "We sincerely apologize to those affected by this accident and their families."
They added, "The company will support the treatment so that the injured individuals can make a full recovery. We will do our best until they fully recover."
Meanwhile, the 'Super Show 10 SJ - CORE in Seoul,' which was meant to celebrate the group's historic 20th debut anniversary, ended with a regret due to the lack of safety management at the end of the performance.
