With regards to the “lighting structure incident”, KBS Music Bank production has expressed that they “will be more careful next time”, but this has not put a stop to the end of criticism.
On the 29th, KBS2TV Music Bank’s production team has talked about the safety of the structure in an interview with regards to the lighting structure incident that “At that time, the performers who were present at the ending stage were making their way to the waiting rooms, and this caused the structure to shake (theyre blaming it on the singers?? ),” “Luckily, the staff were able to support the structure in time and this preventing any casualties. This incident however has also raise the awareness of staff when dealing with safety of the stage. In the future, we will pay more attention to the preparation work for the broadcast.” Through saying this, they also implied their apologies.
On the 26th during the live broadcast of Music Bank, a giant lighting structure fell after the first place winner was announced. The production clarified that “There are no casualties” but that popular group SHINee’s member Onew had fainted, shocking fans in the midst. The manager had quickly carried him back to the waiting room and after a quiet rest, he was sent to the hospital for further checks in order to prevent any after-effects. He was said to be physically unhurt but had received a very big trauma psychologically. Some fans who were present have uploaded videos of the situation then online.
Prior to this, Onew had injured his ankle after slipping on the stage that was wet from 2NE1’s performance which used water. With regards to this, the production team said that they did clean the water from the stage but apparently had not handled it well, and that they would be more careful next time. However, the fanboard of the show as well as various fan cafes are still adamant that Music Bank give a formal apology, with the demand going very strong.
Some of the fans are incredulous and are trying to suppress their anger. “So this is an apology? Have them apologise.” Most f the fans pointed out that “The apology content is not sincere at all, it’s just superficial lies. We insist that they do a formal apology.”
Especially in the apology by Music Bank which states that “Because of the staff who were able to support the structure in time, there was no casualties”, the fans are even unhappy about it. The fans who were at the venue that day proved that “Some of the staff were only concerned about escaping from the structure themselves.” The fans also expressed that “While the staff members were busy trying to protect themselves, it was Super Junior members Siwon and Kyuhyun as well as members of 2PM who managed to support the structure in time.” They also said that “To spread lies like this is very displeasing.”
On the other hand, with regards to the singers who were injured through this incident, no apology was made, and this was enough to cause a public uproar. Aside from SHINee member Onew, Super Junior’s Sungmin had also injured his knee during rehearsal, but Music Bank had only mentioned Onew. Sungmin had injured his leg halfway through rehearsal after tripping on a stage prop. Even though he was sent to the hospital immediately to receive stitches, he still went on to perform on the live broadcast, displaying professionalism that had won him the praises of the audience.
Other than the fans, when pictures of the lighting structure that is almost as high as a single storey building were uploaded online, besides the comments about Onew’s fainting and well-wishes for him, there were many more comments of the negligence of the production team in checking the lighting equipment as well as the slowness in response from the staff that came under fire.
