New Kids Fan Dies: An 18-year-old South Korean high school student died Wednesday from injuries sustained Monday night when frenzied fans stormed the stage during a concert in Seoul by the U.S. rock group New Kids on the Block. Park Chong-yun was among 50 or more fans hurt at the concert. Prosecutors allege the promoters sold more tickets than there were seats in Seoul’s Olympic Gymnasium and have sought an arrest warrant for the president of Sorabul Records, which sponsored the concert. The rowdy behavior of the fans has shocked South Koreans.
