K-pop 'Fandemonium' at the Orchard Mall

You've heard of mall madness, and you've heard of mob madness. While both are fairly terrifying, Singapore experienced a combination of the two last night. A legion of k-pop fans queued up for Korean Pop Night Concert 2010 tickets at the Orchard Mall last night, and things got a little crazy when word spread that the doors were to open at 11:30pm instead of at midnight,� as scheduled. The collective body of fans surged for the door, and one individual even fainted from the pressure. Thankfully, she was brought inside the mall to recuperate. Another fan experienced breathing difficulties, but refused to leave the location for medical treatment. Authorities were called in to help manage the situation, and ambulances were seen around the outskirts of the mass. As a result of the chaos, traffic around the mall became impacted as curious drivers slowed down to take a look. One fan wrote in an email, "I was somewhere near the front, and when the fans behind pushed, I had to use every ounce of strength to make sure I was not crushed against the barrier." For those fans who managed to purchase tickets, the stress was worth it. Unfortunately, those who were less fortunate were livid over the lack of organization. A fan complained, "I was practically living at the mall since Thursdays, waiting for my tickets." "Later I found out each person was allowed to buy up to 10 tickets, (it) really made me angry." Korean Pop Night Concert 2010 will be held at the Singapore Expo Hall on October 23rd, and will feature the artists SNSD, Big Bang, FT Island, INFINITE, SHINee, and D-NA.
