During a pre-recording of the "M Countdown" program team, there was a problem with the stage set. The accident caused the stage to catch fire, and it was on stage that members of the South Korean girl group aespa were performing.
The most disturbing aspect of the incident was member Kim Min-jeong (stage name Winter), who inhaled a lot of smoke in the fire. It is reported that Kim has just completed a pneumothorax operation not long ago and is still recovering. As a result, the physical discomfort caused by the smoke inhalation forced her to stop recording and undergo urgent medical examinations and treatment.

This incident quickly sparked heated discussions on the Internet. Fans have expressed their concern and anger at Kim on social media. Many criticized the program team and her agency, SM Entertainment, for failing to effectively protect the safety and health of the artists. Netizen "President of Xiao Dongdong Protection Association" left a message: "My Xiao Dongdong just had surgery, and he was taken to play songs like this, and he also suffered a stage fire, SM Are you serious?" Another netizen "fire expert" humorously said: "Is this stage set too enthusiastic, you can even forget the fire prevention measures, it's really a hot and enthusiastic performance." ”
In order to let fans know about Kim's recovery, SM Entertainment released an announcement that only the other three members of aespa participated in the live broadcast of "M Countdown" that day, and whether Kim can participate in the follow-up activities will depend on her recovery. After the announcement was released, many fans expressed their support for Kim Minting in the message area. One fan wrote: "Dongdong, you have to rest well, don't rush back, we will always wait for you!" Another message was more direct: "SM, if you do this again, we will go to the door of the company to protest!" ”
Stage set problem: from the details of the "fire" cause
The safety of stage sets has always been a major part of large-scale performances. The stage fire at the recording site of "M Countdown" exposed the negligence of the program team in the safety of the set.
According to eyewitness accounts at the scene, the fire was caused by a malfunctioning lighting equipment on the stage. The wires of these devices were not properly secured and protected, resulting in short circuits in the wires, which in turn led to fires.

Netizen "wire repairman" quipped in the comments: "Even I, a layman, know that the wires must be wrapped, otherwise it will become a 'barbecue scene'!" And "Fire Hydrant" seriously suggested: "Should the program team arrange a comprehensive safety check before each recording?" Otherwise, the artists will become firefighters. ”
The stage fire is not only an accident, but also a warning to the safety awareness of the program team. How to avoid similar incidents from happening again, the program team needs to seriously reflect and take stricter safety measures. For viewers and fans, seeing their favorite artists working in such a dangerous environment is undoubtedly a kind of mental torture and uneasiness.
Kim's recovery: from the operating table to the stage to the hospital bed
Kim recently underwent pneumothorax surgery, a medical procedure that requires a relatively long recovery period.
During the recovery period after pneumothorax surgery, patients should avoid strenuous exercise and exertion to prevent it from affecting wound healing and physical recovery. However, Kim's return to the stage shortly after the surgery to bring a performance to fans was already a huge test of her body. The accident added to her physical burden, forcing her to stop recording and undergo further treatment.

Netizen "Medical Xiaobai" expressed concern about this: "I came to the stage just after the operation, I really worked hard, and health is the most important thing!" Another netizen "Guardian of Dark Circles" joked: "It is estimated that the doctor is going to open a VIP ward for her, and she comes to check every day, which is really a model worker's sick number!" ”
For fans, Kim's health and safety are undoubtedly paramount. She already needed more rest and care during her recovery after the operation, and now she suffered an accident, which made fans even more distressed and worried. How to ensure the safety and health of artists at work has become the focus of attention of fans and the public.
SM Entertainment's response: From the announcement to the actual action, are fans satisfied?
After the incident, SM Entertainment quickly issued an announcement, announcing that Kim Minting would be absent from the live broadcast of "M Countdown" that day, and said that her follow-up activities will be decided according to her recovery. Although this announcement expressed concern for Kim, the anger of fans did not subside. They believe that the company is irresponsible for the artist's health by allowing her to participate in high-intensity work when Kim has not fully recovered.

Netizens were "furious" and left a message: "SM really only thinks about making money, completely ignoring the health of the artist, it's too much!" And "SM's Nightmare" threatened, "If this continues, fans will unite to boycott your event." ”
Although SM Entertainment's announcement expressed concern for Kim Minting, the actual action is the most concerned issue for fans. Whether the company will pay more attention to the health and safety of artists in future work arrangements has become the focus of attention of fans and the public. How to find a balance between commercial interests and the health of artists is a problem that SM Entertainment needs to seriously think about and solve.
Fans' reactions: From anger to action, how to protect beloved idols
The incident sparked a great deal of anger and concern among fans. Many fans have expressed their support for Kim Min-jeong and criticism of SM Entertainment on social media. Some even proposed to join forces and take practical action to protect their beloved idols. A fan left a message: "We not only have to support Xiao Dongdong online, but also go to the door of the company to protest and let them know the power of our fans!" ”
The netizen "Protest Squad" responded positively: "Let's go, let's go to the door of SM Company together, we want to seek justice for Xiao Dongdong!" Another netizen, "Rest First", put forward a gentle suggestion: "You can write an email or call the company to express our concern and suggestions, and use actions to urge them to improve." ”
The power of fans is not to be underestimated in the modern entertainment industry, and their voices and actions can often have a significant impact on a company's decision-making. How to express care and demands in a reasonable and legal way is not only a support for idols, but also a promotion for the healthy development of the industry.
Controversial summary: a healthy balance between commercial interests and entertainers
This incident has undoubtedly sparked widespread discussion and controversy. Kim's return to the stage shortly after surgery has already caused concern among fans. And this stage accident has pushed the issue of artists' health and work arrangements to the forefront. How to find a balance between commercial interests and the health of artists has become a problem that the public and companies need to face and solve together.
On the one hand, the health and safety of entertainers, as public figures, should be highly valued. When arranging work, the company must take into account the physical condition of the artist and avoid overwork and unnecessary risks. On the other hand, the commercial operation and profit considerations of the entertainment industry are also factors that cannot be ignored. How to find a balance between the two is a problem that the company's management needs to seriously think about and solve.
It remains to be seen whether this incident will be an opportunity for more companies and program teams to pay attention to the health and safety of artists, and then promote the healthy development of the entire industry. I hope that in the future, we can see an entertainment industry environment that cares more about artists and pays attention to safety, so that all people who like idols can rest assured that they can support their stars.
