Fans Are Furious After Seeing Filming Set That Collapsed And Injured NCT’s Johnny, Jaehyun and Jungwoo
NCT 127‘s Jaehyun, Johnny, and Jungwoo were recently injured on a filming site. They had fallen from a 2m high jungle gym structure during commercial filming. SM Entertainment advised through an official statement that they were being treated at a hospital.
Hello.
We are relaying news regarding NCT’s Johnny, Jaehyun, and Jungwoo’s injuries.
On Friday, Johnny, Jaehyun, and Jungwoo suffered injuries due to the set’s jungle gym collapsing. The members were transferred to the hospital immediately and are currently receiving treatment and examinations but will need to be examined further.

Subsequently, a picture from the filming site surfaced on the internet. The original source seems to be from a staff onsite, who lamented “being in Namyangju on a Friday.” The accident was reported to have occurred on a filming site in Namyangju. The original picture was posted before the accident happened.
Fans immediately began to question the safety of the jungle gym set. Without proper floor boltings to hold it down in place, unlike regular jungle gyms, the structure could be dangerous. Even if 2m is not a tall height for most, the structure still looked flimsy.
이따구로 부실한게 정글짐이야?

this looks so filmy and thin, in no way can it hold grown men. did they not test checked before? was there anything resembling a safety code or protocol to be followed? https://t.co/9hz6h5qPoz

Criticism was directed at the production company and SM Entertainment for not double-checking the safety.
sm should have multiple checked the set. those who approve this must be responsible. are the money more important than their safety? god idw hear any bad accident like this again. pay more attention to your artists' safety first https://t.co/bTKjjd2GS4

As safety is a top priority for any event or filming, fans are highly disappointed at those in charge of the commercial and the boys’ safety.
