SNSD Taeyeon falls on stage & other tragic accidents

Taeyeon

The sub-group of Girls Generation, TaeTiSeo, or in short, TTS, made an appearance at the 24th Seoul Music Awards on the 22nd of January 2015 (Well, that's today actually). Well, that is hardly surprising. However, as they were leaving the stage after their performance, let's just say things went a bit shaky...

From the video, taken by a fan, you can see that one of the members (that is Seohyun we're talking about here) trips or stumbles but manages to get her balance back but, the unlucky one is indeed Taeyeon who falls next and seems to have suffered an injury as that part of the stage seems to have collapsed.

I really hope it's nothing serious, especially when Yuri revealed that they were working on a new album comeback this year.

What I am really concerned about is that stage falls are unfortunately common in the world of Kpop. Sure, it's funny and amusing to see your idols fall or trip sometimes on stage, but stage falls are sometimes definitely not a laughing matter.

'The 1st Pangyo Techno Valley Festival' took place on the 17th of October 2014 ,where 4Minute, T-ara, JungGiGo, and Cherry Filter were invited to perform. During 4Minute's performance, a ventilation grate where fans have somehow got onto to get a better look at the performance, collapsed. The unfortunate fans fell about 10 feet. 4Minute had no idea that the accident occurred until they left the venue. 

The BBC News reported that 12 died at the scene of the accident and 4 more passed away afterwards. In total, it was reported that 16 had died and 11 were injured. 

It was really a tragic accident...(I feel kind of sad just writing about this). 

BBC also said at the time of the incident:

'After the Sewol ferry sank six months ago, with the loss of more than 300 lives, many alleged that the country's regulations had not kept pace with its rapid economic development.'

To be perfectly honest, to relate this with the infamous ferry incident is a bit far-fetched and seems exaggerated. It's not really logical to state that just because of these two incidents Korea is unable to catch up with its own developments. Come on, one was a Kpop concert, the other was a ferry - there isn't really much of a relation.
