SOURCE: 걸그룹 숙소서 화재 발생 끔찍…사후세계 온 줄 ‘일촉즉발’
Celebrating their 4th debut anniversary, CLASS:y revealed the fire incident they experienced at their former dorm.
In the video released on CLASS:y's official Youtube channel on the 5th, the members shared shocking stories they had kept to themselves. The part that surprised everyone the most was the 'fire incident' that occured in their early debut days.
The incident started with a ventilation fan in the master bedroom bathroom. The members who used the master bedroom at the time woke up to a burning smell while sleeping after returning from school. One member recalled, "When I opened my eyes, everything was so dark I thought I had entered the afterlife. Black smoke mixed with ash was floating around. There were flames coming from the bathroom," describing the situation.
What made it even more shocking was the members' reactions. The member who witnessed the fire shouted, "There's a fire!" and tried to put it out by throwing water from the sink, but it didn't work. Meanwhile, some members were still half-asleep and couldn't fully grasp the situation, so they stayed lying in bed, causing the leader and firefighters to break into cold sweat.
The fire was eventually extinguished safely by firefighters, but what happened afterward was ironically funny. While evacuating on the emergency stairs, they were caught eating fried chicken they had ordered earlier. One member said, "Since it was early in our debut, it would've been awkward if we got caught ordering it, so we hid it in the dishwasher," and added, "After the fire was out, we ate it together on the emergency stairs and even took pictures."
The firefighters who arrived on the scene were surprised to see seven young women living together, asking, "What do you do? Are you idols?" Later, someone in an online community posted, "My dad's friend said he went to put out a fire at CLASS:y's dorm," which people didn't believe at the time, but four years later was confirmed to be true, bringing laughter to fans.
Meanwhile, through their 4th-anniversary video, CLASS:y continued to communicate with fans by sharing not only the fire incident, but also bold stories about each other and their strong friendship.
