The incident occurred during the group’s concert, held on Sunday at the Impact Exhibition and Convention Centre in the Thai capital, with more than 10,000 fans in attendance.
According to footage and pictures circulating on YouTube and social media, stage equipment near Yoon suddenly malfunctioned in the middle of the band’s performance and burst into flames, causing the singer’s clothes to catch fire.
