In Hong Kong, a large fire broke out around 2:52 PM on the 26th at Wong Fuk Court in the northern Tai Po district. As of now, 128 people have died and dozens have been injured due to this fire. The Hong Kong Fire Services Department completed the extinguishing operation at 10:18 AM on the 28th, 43 hours after the fire started. Chris Tang, Secretary for Security of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, stated at a briefing that afternoon, "There is a possibility that the death toll will increase due to this fire."
Hong Kong authorities raised the fire alert level to the highest, level 5. This is the first time in 17 years since the 2008 Mong Kok club fire. This incident has shocked all of Hong Kong, and many celebrities and agencies are participating in donations. The six labels of HYBE Music Group APAC, to which TWS belongs, donated 2.66 million Hong Kong dollars (approximately 500 million KRW) to the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association. This fund will be used in cooperation with Hong Kong non-profit organizations to support the families of the fire victims.
Meanwhile, TWS is scheduled to perform on the stage of the '2025 MAMA Awards' held at Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong on the 28th and 29th. Although the red carpet event has been canceled, the main event and live broadcast will proceed as planned. However, the production and stage setup will be significantly modified. Despite these circumstances, TWS plans to take the stage to convey their condolences.
This fire disaster has had a significant impact on Hong Kong society, and many are stepping up with donations and support for the victims and their families. TWS's donation is part of this solidarity, reflecting the hearts of their fans. As various donations and support activities continue, the safety and speedy recovery of the victims are urgently needed.
