SEVENTEEN Fan Severely Burned At Concert Triggers Fierce Backlash
Recently, SEVENTEEN’s concert became a hot issue after a malfunction caused fireworks to be fired directly at the audience.
This caused netizens to begin posting videos online of the incident, and fans claimed to have been injured by the fireworks.
Audience Members Left Injured After Freak Accident At SEVENTEEN’s Concert
Not long after, PLEDIS Entertainment released a statement regarding the incident, stating that the situation occurred due to product defects.
“We deeply apologize to the audience members who were shocked or inconvenienced by the incident. The spectators who were injured at the scene were immediately treated at the temporary clinic at the concert and went home.
We will perform special effects after a more thorough safety inspection to prevent problems from recurring.”

Although the agency released a statement, a fan belatedly posted about the injuries they experienced from the fireworks and garnered much online attention.
I was going to post the photos after the concert, but the agency statement has already gone up. It was really dangerous. Please shoot the fireworks towards the sky. I still feel the heat on my entire right arm. My seat was in section N5, and thank you to everyone near me who used their bare hands to get the fire out on my clothes. I would have probably never gotten treatment and gone home if I had been panicking alone, standing there frozen.

The fan later updated on their status online, thanking everyone for their concern and support.
Thank you for your concern. Yesterday, I received treatment at a specialized burn hospital. I’ve received so much concern from fans all around the world, and I’m sorry I can’t reply to each of you individually. 🙏

K-Netizens could not express their disappointment regarding the incident.
- “It seems like it was really bad…compensation is a must, and I hope they receive good treatment. They must’ve gone with a good heart…what is this?”
- “Thank goodness she’s okay…burn treatment takes some time and even leaves a scar…”
- “I hope they receive treatment well.”
- “The fan is so nice…if it were me, I’d be cursing up a storm.”
- “The artists should go with them to treatment.”
- “I hope it doesn’t leave a scar…”
- “Third-degree burns? They are going to have to receive treatment for a long time…”
- “This is crazy…”
