Pangyo Techno Valley Festival Incident
On October 17, 2014 at the 1st Pangyo Techno Valley Festival, tragedy struck during a concert. Despite repeated safety warnings, a group of participants climbed on top of a ventilation grate to obtain a better viewing of the stage. The grate, covering an underground parking lot 10 metres (33 feet) down, gave way under the sheer weight of roughly 20-30 additional bodies. According to BBC News, 16 people were killed with an additional 11 injured.[19][20]
A Mr. Oh identified as an employee of Gyeonggi Institute of Science and Technology worked for one of the festival sponsors and handled safety measures, was found dead the morning of October 18, 2014 at the base of a 10-storey building near the venue. He is believed to have jumped to his death in response to the Pangyo Techno Valley Festival incident as a suicide note found at the scene apologized for the death of the victims.[21]
