Three spectators were injured when a safety fence collapsed during a Super Junior concert in Seoul on Sunday, prompting an apology from the boy band’s agency, SM Entertainment.

The accident occurred at the KSPO Dome in Songpa District, southern Seoul, when member Ryeowook approached the audience while performing an encore song, according to the agency.

Fans surged forward, causing the fence in the seating area to give way. The concert was part of the group's last of three Seoul concerts held during the "Super Show 10" world tour to mark its 20th anniversary since its debut.

SM Entertainment said the injured fans were immediately taken to the hospital and treated for sprains and bruises, with doctors recommending two weeks of rest.

"We deeply apologize to those affected and their families," the company said in a statement. "As the organizer, we take full responsibility and will ensure thorough safety checks to prevent similar accidents in the future."
