(Radio.com) Sixteen people have died and 11 were injured after falling through a ventilation grate during a K-Pop concert as part of Pangyo Techno Valley culture festival in Seongnam, South Korea.

While watching the girl group 4Minute, the fans fell 20 meters when the grate gave out in the middle of the show. Around 700 people were in attendance at the show and as the incident occurred, the band continued to play without knowledge of the tragedy.

The dozens of people nearby the incident, however, were transfixed, standing round the three- to four-meters-wide hole and looking into it, according to photos taken.

Many of those who were injured from the collapse were rescued. Read more here.
