At K-pop group Super Junior's recent concert in Seoul, a shocking accident occurred when the audience barrier collapsed, resulting in three fans being injured and taken to the hospital, terrifying everyone present. Two days after the incident, member Ryeowook broke his silence, posting a lengthy message on social media on the 7th. His words were filled with self-blame and shock, admitting that he still hasn’t recovered from the impact at the time.
In the message, Ryeowook said that the first thought that went through his mind when the accident happened was, “Did the fans get hurt because of me?” He kept questioning himself, wondering if the incident occurred because he was too close to the audience, and regretted whether, in that critical moment, he could have done just a bit more to pull them back.
The sudden shock left Ryeowook confessing that his mind “went completely blank” at the scene. He reproached himself, saying he’s never been the quickest to react, so seeing himself frozen in that moment felt unacceptable. He sincerely apologized to everyone in case his reaction made anyone uncomfortable.
Ryeowook revealed that he later visited the injured fans in the hospital and talked with them for a long time. What weighed on his mind the most was that although the fans themselves were hurt and still in pain, they instead worried about his emotional state, some even crying and saying “they felt even more sorry.” This scene, he said, was something he would probably never forget for the rest of his life.
At the end of the message, Ryeowook also promised on behalf of Super Junior that the team would prioritize safety even more in the future, hoping that every future meeting could take place in a safe and incident-free environment. He wrote, “I hope none of us get hurt and that we can continue to meet safely for a long time,” leaving many fans expressing their heartbreak after reading it.
