A second member of the South Korean band Ladies' Code died from injuries sustained from a motor accident, her management said today. Kwon Ri-sae, 23, better known as Rise, died this morning at a hospital in Suwon, just south of Seoul. She had been unconscious after undergoing hours of emergency brain surgery following Wednesday's accident. Fellow band member Go Eun-bi, 22, died shortly after a van carrying the group crashed into a guard rail on a rain-drenched highway near Seoul.

I hope the driver doesn’t commit suicide out of shame. So is the company on the hook because of the tire coming off?
Yes, my ROK has Seoul
If you visit the Ladies Code wiki page there is a picture near the top, right and it says who is who.
This isn’t the first group to have an accident like this, however, this is the first one since I have been following Kpop where members have died. Hopefully it will change the rules on travel and managers during live performances and promoting. The schedules for the performers are brutal and the managers/drivers have worse ones.
They haven’t even started the finger-pointing yet...except at the K-Pop industry in general.
I hope Polaris is ready to pay up - I dunno if they are a very big agency though
