Chaos struck at the final performance of SUPER JUNIOR's highly anticipated 20th anniversary tour as a barricade toppled over, causing three fans to lose their footing and fall over, sending them to the hospital.
While SUPER JUNIOR member Kim Ryeowook was sharing a sweet moment with fans and interacting with them, the barricade that was holding them back gave way as they fell from the elevated platform that they were stood on. The fall caused them to sustain injuries and the three fans were immediately rushed to the hospital to receive treatment. Ryeowook reacted quickly as he rushed to get help and alerted staff to tend to the fans.
An accident occurred during Super Junior’s concert in Seoul on April 5, when a safety railing in the audience area collapsed, causing three fans to fall and sustain injuries.
