Is this the most painful performance to watch ever?

    I really like GFriend and I was just looking up some of their live performances and stumbled upon this. I though to myself "wow, 16m views, this must be one of their best performances!". I'm not even sure I can re-watch this video, it's so hard to watch.

    I assume the floor was just really wet. But at what point do you just call it a day and stop the performance for the members' safety? Was there any backlash from fans after this? It's honestly amazing that they were able to maintain their composure and continue performing with a smile, especially since I think they were just teens at the time. I don't think I could've done the same.

    Yes. Towards the venue for making absolutely zero effort to clean up the stage and make it at least reasonably safe to perform on.


    You could see the pure rage on Sowon's face once the performance was done. She barely let the girls say goodbye before ushering them off the stage.


    The silver lining is that this incident boosted GFRIEND's popularity and Me Gustas Tu, already a hit song, became a National Hit after this happened.


    Also, the performance by Yuju, who fell the most and the hardest, is easily the gutsiest performance by any idol I've ever seen. She fell flat on her face several times and got back up to hit every single high note. Remarkable grit and determination to finish the stage.

    Yea I figured as much, I'd be on the next flight to Korea looking to throw hands with whoever runs the venue if I saw this happen to BABYMONSTER. I mean, as you said, it seems they did literally nothing to make the stage safe at all. And I've seen falls before, but these were some really hard falls.

    Yuju is my favorite member of the group, I love her vocals, which is why this is really painful to watch for me. But at the same time I only admire her more now for being able to grin and bear it through something like this, especially since it was out of her control. I probably would've rage quit. Good to know there was at least some silver lining from this though.

    Jesus this was even worse than I remember. Some of these falls look really damn painful.


    At least this boosted both their and the song's popularity, and they received a lot of love and praise.

    2018 Dream Concert was horrible as well. So many idols fell, some quite bad too.


    If you look at videos they looked like they were ice-skating on there.. there's pools of water on stage.


    When the stage is so unsafe they should not be performing. It could result in more serious injuries too.
