"Seoul News" quoted Indonesian local media reports that a concert of the Korean boy group NCT 127 was held in Jakarta on the evening of the 4th local time. During the performance, the members of the boy group stood on the stage to distribute small gifts to the audience to interact. However, in order to "closely contact" with their idols, fans present began to push each other and gathered towards the stage. Seeing this, the male team leader stopped performing, and member Do Young said to the fans in the audience: "Safety is the first! Don't push." Despite this, as fans in the rear continued to push forward, the fence in the audience area collapsed, causing riots. At that time, 30 spectators fainted on the spot and were sent to the hospital by emergency treatment. Fortunately, no one was injured. Due to the chaotic and out of control of the scene order, the organizers of the event decided to interrupt the performance for safety reasons.
It is reported that after the accident, some viewers present uploaded relevant videos on social media containing the riot that night. The video shows that during the performance, some fans forced their way across the safety fence to get closer to the stage in order to see the singer at close range. Before the performance that night, the organizer also received intimidation, and someone threatened to set up bombs at the performance. However, after the Indonesian police searched on the scene, they informed that no suspicious items were found. After that, suspects who created rumors and deliberately intimidated were arrested, and the performance was successfully carried out. But unexpectedly, just as the performance was approaching the end, the scene was in chaos and the performance was eventually forced to be interrupted.
reported that later that day, the local agency "Dyandra Global Education", which organized the performance, posted on its official social media account that "unpredictable situation occurred at the end of the performance" and "ultimately, the performance was forced to be interrupted for safety." It is reported that NCT 127 will hold its second concert at the same location on the evening of the 5th. In response, the performance agency said, "We also hope that the audience can watch the concert safely. In the second performance, not only will first responders be added, but on-site security will also be added." The company apologized to the audience, performer NCT 127 and its affiliated company Korea SM Entertainment for the failure to go smoothly due to safety issues the previous night.
《Seoul News》 stated that the Itaewon tragedy occurred in South Korea recently, and Indonesia also caused a large-scale stampede in a football match held in Malang City, East Java Province in early October due to a conflict in fans. All parties have many concerns about causing another stampede accident.
