A flurry of fireworks was accidentally fired into a 2,000-strong crowd during a K-pop concert, injuring 17 people.
The clip shows a band performing onstage as pyrotechnics are set off from the sidelines.
However, instead of taking to the air, the rockets plunged into the front rows and apparently hit multiple people.

Thick black smoke rises into the air from the spectators’ section as the band continues performing, apparently unaware of the bungled fireworks display.
The accident took place during the ‘One Summer Night’ concert, part of the 2024 Jecheon International Music & Film Festival.
The event was held in Jecheon, South Korea, on Friday (6 Sept)
Around 2,000 spectators were in the crowd when the pyrotechnics mishap took place at around 9.35pm.
The event was briefly suspended to deal with the injured attendees before resuming.
According to local reports, 17 people were rushed to hospital with various injuries.
Two attendees suffered burns to their faces and neck.
The police confirmed that they went to the venue to inspect the special effects equipment after the accident.
They added that they interviewed the pyrotechnics team and that they currently remain under police investigation.
Festival organisers issued a statement the following day to apologise for the incident and offer their support to the injured spectators, as reported by Need To Know.
The investigation continues.
