A PRADA photo wall event was held, with famous celebrities such as Taeri, KARINA from the idol group aespa, and Sana from TWICE participating.
However, crowds formed before the event even began as spectators gathered to see celebrities, and from around 6:40 p.m., police were informed of a number of fatal accidents.
Four reports were received requesting the maintenance of order due to concerns. In fact, there was a slight collision between a bus and a passenger car.
At around 10 p.m., police estimated that about 700 people were forced into a narrow alleyway where the sidewalk and roadway were not clearly separated.
The crowds gathered, creating a dangerous mix of vehicles and people, which meant that the invited celebrities were unable to get out of their cars and had to wait.

It was a situation where a safety accident could have occurred due to crowding. In the end, the event, which was scheduled to run until 1:00 a.m., ended early at around 10:45 p.m.
A police official who was dispatched to the scene said, "The organizers used a private security company to manage security, but they were negligent in managing the area outside the event venue."
"When setting up the photo wall (outside), safety measures were insufficient to prevent spectators from temporarily gathering in large numbers," he said. Seongdong-gu District Chief Jeong Won-ho also posted on his Twitter account on the same day.
"Regarding this event, from 7 p.m. yesterday (24th), the Seongdong-gu Office duty manager and department managers were on-site closely monitoring the situation with the police and other related agencies," the Twitter account said.
However, concerns about safety accidents caused by overcrowding and other factors have grown, and we have determined that it would be difficult to proceed with the event any further, so we have requested the organizers to voluntarily end the event."
"We ask for your understanding as this measure is taken with safety in mind above all else," said Chung-gu Mayor. "Seongdong-gu will continue to do its utmost to maintain a safe local community."
