Fans shower praise on (G)I-DLE's professionalism in Music Bank Chile despite extreme weather conditions

(G)I-DLE’s professionalism in Music Bank Chile has earned them massive praise from K-pop fans.

For those unversed, on November 12, the Music Bank, which was held in Chile, was canceled halfway through the event due to extreme weather conditions. The concert in Santiago was the first Music Bank world tour stop in three years, following a hiatus due to COVID-19, but it was unfortunately cut short due to extreme weather — rain and hailstorms.

(G)I-DLE members took center stage in the middle of a torrential rain, and fans even witnessed a hailstorm. In fact, member Shuhua slipped on stage during their performance. The other members helped her get up, and (G)I-DLE finished their performance with great difficulty despite the tough circumstances.

Showing sheer professionalism and thoughtfulness, fans praised them for finishing their performance and honoring their love for them, despite extreme weather conditions.

(G)I-DLE’s fans praise the quintet for continuining their set in the middle of the downpour

KBS’ Music Bank held its first global concert in three years at the Estadio Monumental David Arellano in Chile. The crème de la crème of the K-pop industry were roped in to perform at Music Bank Chile — NCT Dream, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, ATEEZ, THE BOYZ, STAYC, and (G)I-DLE were all present.

It rained heavily from the beginning, but the K-pop artists scheduled to perform did not want to disappoint the 50,000 fans who had gathered to watch their favorite stars.

By the time (G)I-DLE entered the stage, the rain and thunder had become significantly intense. Fans present even complained of a hailstorm amidst the heavy rains. While performing their debut song LATATA, they tried their best to dance properly.

At one point, the stage became wet and slippery, and member Shuhua had a nasty fall at the end of the song. Other members immediately gathered to help her back up and she completed the performance, putting up a brave display of fans.

K-pop fans praised the singers for giving their best despite their difficult circumstances.

While fans understand that extreme weather conditions are not in anybody’s hands, K-pop fans expressed their frustration and disappointment at the event organizers for not making better stage arrangements and allowing the artists to perform despite the extreme weather.

The TOMBOY singers finished their performance and were then safely escorted off stage. After their performance, Music Bank Chile was canceled for the day, and NCT Dream, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, and ATEEZ were unable to perform for fans.

TOMORROW X TOGETHER, ATEEZ, and NCT Dream took to the stage to greet their fans and apologize for not being able to perform for them.
