NCT’s Taeyong apologises for 'bad memories' after K-pop group cuts short concert over fans fainting

To rewind a little, NCT 127's recent Jakarta show was called off due to safety concerns. More than 30 supporters fainted at the site due to excessive crowding and pressing concerns. Because of the recent terrible Itaewon Halloween tragedy, organisers abruptly ended the concert.

After the band played their hit song ‘Touch’, the venue's lights were switched on, and everyone was instructed to move back for a moment, according to a fan at the event. At first, it appeared that the unexpected pause would merely be a little respite. The performance, however, came to an end.




The problem developed around the concert's standing section, where people stood rather than being assigned seats. As a result, a group of supporters began surging forward, which resulted in around 30 people fainting, prompting the event to be cut short halfway through.

What is the overall consensus among fans?

Many fans were outraged by the decision, some breaking down in tears, while others backed them and showed their love for NCT 127.

What did NCT’s Taeyong say?

Following the event, Taeyong took to Bubble and apologised for the concert's premature finish. In a message to the fans, Taeyong said "There are a lot of people that came to make great memories with us, but I'm sorry we produced unpleasant memories," he said.
