Some 60 of the 40,000 fans who attended Big Bang’s three-night concert “Big Show” fainted while watching at Seoul Olympic Stadium on Jan. 31, the last day of the show.

The fans who passed out were rushed to the emergency room for treatment. No one was hurt and they all went back to watch the concert, according to an official.

The concert was Big Bang’s comeback to the K-pop scene after spending time to promote their music in Japan last year. This made the concert successful as fans snapped up tickets to watch the idol group. 

Big Bang performed hits like “Lies” and “Last Goodbye,” among the 25 songs in the set list. The concert lasted for two and a half hours.

Band member TOP also wowed fans when he released his first solo album and music video at the concert. During their hiatus from the K-pop scene, TOP starred on the Korean spy drama “IRIS.”

Daesung also sang his digital single “Cotton Candy” and distributed free cotton candy to 5,000 fans.

Last year, Big Bang concentrated on their activities in Japan and pursued solo activities. In May, they released their first Japanese single “My Heaven.” They also released their second Japanese album “Big Bang” that debuted at No. 2 on Japan’s Oricon charts.

Big Bang is composed of Daesung, G-Dragon, Taeyang, TOP, and Seungri.
