EunB, a singer in South Korean pop group Ladies' Code, died Wednesday after a fatal car accident.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the band was traveling in a van when the driver lost control on a slippery roadway and crashed into a protective wall. EunB reportedly died from the injuries she sustained during the accident.
The group's label Polaris Entertainment released a statement to Yahoo! Philippines, saying, "after a schedule in Daegu on September 2, LADIES′ CODE was headed back to Seoul. Around 1:30 AM in Suwon, an issue occurred with the car′s back wheel coming off. With the rainy road and wheel coming off, the vehicle spun several times, hitting a guardrail."
Polaris Entertainment added: "Due to this, Eun Bi unfortunately passed away... Rise is in critical condition while So Jung is injured and hospitalized, currently receiving treatment. The other members, manager, and stylists, who were in the car, did not receive serious injuries."
Her band members - Sojung and RiSe - were reportedly taken to the hospital in critical condition, with plans to be moved from the medical facility in Suwon to one in Seoul.
"Our staff is also unable to recover from the shock and are in great sorrow right now," the statement concluded. "We want to apologize to all the fans and everyone who have received much shock, and we ask for everyone to pray for the quick recovery of the members."
Fans have taken to social media to share their condolences.
My thoughts, prayers & positive energy goes to EunB's members, family & friends at this sad time. Too young to die. pic.twitter.com/PPoo6VYKZK
