Many accidents have happened during concerts which left fans in fear of their idols’ safety. Recently, an incident happened during JJ Lin’s (林俊杰) concert in Hong Kong, which could’ve ended horribly if it wasn’t for the star’s quick action.
Over the weekend, the Singaporean star performed at the Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong as part of his “Final Lap” concert tour. During the show on 25th May (Sunday), an incident happened that had netizens worried. As shown in videos, JJ Lin was ascending onto the stage via a stage lift when a nearby dancer suddenly fell into the hole. As the stage was in motion, the dancer could’ve gotten caught in the gap between the stage, resulting in a horrible accident.
Thankfully, JJ Lin swiftly reached out to help the dancer back on their feet. The dancer quickly recovered and resumed the choreography. After ensuring his team was okay, JJ Lin continued his performance, showcasing his professionalism. Despite the terrifying moment, the performance went on as usual, highlighting the fortunate outcome of the incident. The video then went viral on social media, drawing netizens’ attention.
In the comments, many expressed concern for JJ Lin and his dancers’ safety. Some said it was fortunate the dancer’s leg didn’t get caught in the gap. Many fans also praised JJ Lin’s quick action, saying he helped prevent a disaster. Others also lamented the dangers of some stage designs, arguing that the stage crew should have better planning to avoid such incidents.
This incident isn’t the first time someone has fallen into a gap on the stage. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo and Hong Kong star Andy Lau (劉德華) all have fallen into a hole on stage during their concerts. However, in all three incidents, the holes on the stages weren’t supposed to be left open, sparking anger towards concert staff for the lack of safety measures.
Like many fans, we’re glad that JJ Lin and his dancer weren’t affected by the incident, but we hope the star and his team will be more vigilant. What are your thoughts on this?
