Sixteen people were killed and nine others seriously injured when they plunged down a ventilation shaft after a grate gave way during an outdoor pop concert Friday in Seongnam south of Seoul.
"They were standing on the ventilation grate to get a better view when it collapsed under their weight," a spokesman for the local fire services said.
Rescuers said 16 people were confirmed dead but the death toll might rise with some of the injured understood to be in critical condition.
Television reports said the victims fell more than 10 metres into an underground parking area when the grate gave way shortly before 6:00pm (local time).
Amateur video footage obtained by the YTN news channel showed shocked spectators surrounding the collapsed grate as the popular all-girl K-pop band 4Minute continued their performance.
More than 700 people were believed to be at the outdoor concert.

Whoa! They’re to die for!!!
Very sad
Girl in front is HyunA, from Psy’s “Gangam Style” video. 4minute is the group she normally performs in.
Make that “Gangnam Style”... Android’s autocorrect is terrible. :)
The “redhead”? She’s a honey, but the one with dark hair is most certainly not guilty.
Korean chicks = cute, but a health hazard
Sheis definitely the pick of the litter.
