BABYMONSTER faced a terrifying stage collapse during their “HELLO MONSTER” concert in Taiwan, but member Ahyeon is being hailed as a hero for her calm and protective response. The incident occurred on June 28, 2025, when a malfunctioning lift caused part of the stage to give way mid-performance.
Stage Collapse During Performance
The seven-member group was performing in Taiwan as part of their first world tour when the accident happened. A lift platform they were standing on suddenly malfunctioned, causing one side to collapse. Member Rora lost her balance and nearly fell, while the other members quickly crouched down to stabilize themselves.
Fan-recorded videos show the moment the stage gave way, with the members visibly shocked but reacting swiftly. Despite the scare, none of the members were seriously injured. The concert was temporarily paused as staff checked on the group’s safety before resuming the show.
“There was a malfunction in the lift, but we took immediate action on site. Fortunately, there were no injuries.” — YG Entertainment
Ahyeon’s Heroic Response
Amid the chaos, Ahyeon stood out for her leadership. Instead of rushing to safety, she stayed on the unstable platform to help the other members. Fans noticed she ensured everyone else evacuated first before leaving herself.
Social media erupted with praise for Ahyeon, with many calling her actions “brave” and “leader-like.” Some fans compared her to senior YG artists known for their professionalism under pressure.
“Ahyeon’s reaction deserves a 10 out of 10. She stayed calm and protected the others—that’s a true idol.” — Fan comment
Concerns Over BABYMONSTER’s Heavy Schedule
This incident has raised further concerns about BABYMONSTER’s intense touring schedule. The group, which debuted just last year, has been on a non-stop world tour since January 2025. Member Rami is already on hiatus due to health issues, and fans have noticed signs of exhaustion in other members like Chiquita and Asa.
Many supporters are urging YG Entertainment to prioritize safety and rest for the young group. While the stage malfunction was due to technical failure, fans argue that the agency should enforce stricter safety checks.
YG’s Response and Future Concerts
YG Entertainment confirmed that the stage issue was addressed immediately and no major injuries occurred. The group continued their Taiwan concert schedule, performing the next day without further incidents.
BABYMONSTER’s tour will continue with stops in North America, including cities like Toronto, Atlanta, and Seattle. Fans hope the agency will take extra precautions to prevent similar accidents in the future.
Fan Reactions and Industry Response
K-pop fans worldwide expressed relief that the members were unharmed but criticized the lack of safety measures. Some compared the incident to past stage accidents involving other artists, calling for better industry standards.
Meanwhile, industry experts emphasize the need for rigorous equipment checks, especially for high-energy performances like BABYMONSTER’s.
