SEOUL, November 6 (Yonhap) -- The Korean boy group NCT 127's concert held in Indonesia was cut off in the middle due to safety concerns after 30 fans fainted on the first day, but the group was able to successfully finish their second-day concert without
According to CNN Indonesia and other local media on Sunday (local time), NCT 127 held its second concert at the Indonesian Convention Exhibition Hall (ICE) in Tangerang, outside Jakarta, Indonesia
The local police arranged more officers and medical staff on this day prior to the concert and noticed, "The concert will be immediately stopped if more than 10 people faint."
Moreover, the concert organizers widened the distance between the standing area and the stage, which was a problem during the first performance, to about 10 m and also made a rest area next to the standing seats so that tired people could rest during the performance. Break time was also scheduled in the middle of the performance so that the audience could take a breather for a while.
As a result, the local media reported that the concert, which was held for around three hours, successfully ended without any accidents happening. Mega, one of the audience members this day said, "I was worried because of the accident that happened on the first day, but I could enjoy the fantastic performance without any accidents," and added, "The fans watched the performance while taking care of each other and following the rules."
The mass audience rushed to the stage during the performance, and more than 30 people in the audience fainted during the first concert, which was held at the same venue on November 4. The members dispersed to various places on the stage to distribute balls, but the audience flocked to the stage to receive the ball during the performance.
The concert was cut off despite the group pausing the music and telling the audience to step back.
It seems like Indonesia is being extra cautious after the "football accident," in which more than 135 people recently died, and Korea's "Itaewon tragedy.
The local police canceled the music festival that was held in Senayan, Jakarta, on October 30 even before the performance started due to concerns over safety accidents as it became too crowded.
