Hip-hop musicians Beenzino, Dok2 and The Quiet apologized for an accident during their concert in Busan on Sunday in a message posted on their social network accounts.

At a concert held as part of their national tour celebrating the fifth anniversary of their label Illionaire Records, some stage equipment fell to the ground ahead of their encore, which blocked them from proceeding to the stage. No injury was reported. In place of the encore performance, Illionaire offered fans at the venue a chance to shake hands with them.

“Thank you everyone who came to the concert in Busan,” Beenzino said. “I’d like to apologize for not being able to continue with our show due to the accident. But our fans cheered us in the hand-shaking event that followed. I will never forget it. We will come back soon.”

Dok2, the 24-year-old cofounder of the label, apologized for the “sudden change of program.”

“I would like to thank all fans who visited our concert despite the cold weather,” Dok2 said. “Please tolerate the sudden change of program tonight, from encore performance to hand-shaking event. I’m glad no one was hurt. I wish all fans a safe trip back home. Thank you all.”
