On August 1, 2022, a Korean media outlet reported that a construction worker passed away due to his injuries from a fall at the Gangneung Stadium in Gangwon-do, South Korea.

According to reports, the construction worker was a Mongolian man in his twenties. He suffered injuries after falling from a height of 15 meters, which is five stories tall, while working on the set of PSY’s concert.

The worker was reportedly taking down the lights used in the concert at the time of the incident.

The man was working via an outsourced agency and was taken to hospital while suffering from cardiac arrest but was later declared dead. As per the reports, the reason for the worker’s fall could be rain as well.

The concert took place on July 30, 2022, at the stadium.

The That That singer’s Summer Swag concert series was controversial from the beginning. It was reported that PSY's summer concert required 300 tons of drinking water per show, despite the fact that the country was experiencing a drought at the time.

The controversy began when the K-pop star announced in June that his Summer Swag concert series is known for splashing people with water after the performance. The concert returned this year after a three-year hiatus due to the pandemic.

South Korea is currently facing an increased number of cases of COVID-19 with the daily count surpassing 100,000.

The singer’s Summer Swag concert will be completed this month. It will reportedly undergo an investigation from South Korea’s Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters due to the spread of COVID-19 during the concerts.

As the headquarters expressed last week, they received many reports from people who tested positive for COVID-19 following the concert. Wet masks could be the reason for the spread of COVID.

So earlier in June, quarantine officials even advised the concert organizers not to hold concerts or shows that could involve the audience getting wet.
