[NEWS] Bigbang's Debut Event - Stampede of fans lead to cancellation of talk show

There were more than 2000 fans in a place that only could hold up to about 400 people.
There were no limits in entering. In front of the stage, the buffer space collapsed.
Because of situation didn't change even after the promoter's warnings, the talk show had to be cancelled.

On the same day, because the fans wanted to see them on the day of their Japan major debut 'MY HEAVEN',
the place where Bigbang had their free event was chaotic.
The staffs put up a notice about this event three days in advanced only to the fan club members, however many fans gathered up from the morning of the day of this event.
Before they opened the event, there were a large and surprising number of fans that the promoter had not expected.
