None of the 12 band members were injured, police said. Three people were taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital for treatment, including the seriously injured dancer and a second performer described as being in a stable condition, the hospital said. Footage of the moment the screen fell on the dancers has gone viral on social media and local charities have set up hotlines for any of the 10,000 people who attended the concert who have been traumatized by what they saw. The remaining eight concerts in the group’s Hong Kong concert series have since been canceled and Hong Kong CEO John Lee has called for an investigation. I contacted the Secretary for Culture, Sport and Tourism and instructed the Department of Leisure and Cultural Services, together with the relevant agencies, to thoroughly investigate the incident and review the safety requirements of similar performance activities in order to protect the safety of the artists. labor staff and members of the public,” Lee said. Kevin Yeung, Hong Kong’s culture secretary, said on Friday that the panel fell because one of the cables holding it up was loose. “From the initial observation, a wire broke and caused the screen to fall and caused the dancers to be injured,” Yeung told reporters on Friday. Hong Kong’s labor ministry secretary Chris Sun said on Friday he would not rule out legal action against those responsible. In a statement on Facebook, concert promoter Makerville apologized for causing “concern to spectators or others affected” and said those who attended Thursday’s concert would be entitled to a refund. The incident came even as fans at three previous concerts warned that the stage and set looked unstable, sparking a petition asking concert organizers to ensure the artists’ safety. The hugely popular band formed in 2018 and released their latest single “We Are” a week ago.
