Thank you for the information! ^^

No problem! i've been up for the last few hours just waiting for the news that the other members are okay. now that I know the surgery's went well I can finally go to sleep peacefully (at 4am ahaha) XD

UPDATE: 12:41 KST - The extent of Rise's injuries has been partially revealed. She had to be resuscitated via defibrillation, which means her heart had stopped at one point. Her brain may be dented in areas. The surgeons had to operate on her brain 3 times (ultraman88)

Any news about the status of the other girls who were in critical condition?

^Only that Sojung is awake, but the doctors told everybody not to tell her about Eunb, cause it could affect her well being. 

The other two members are treated for minor injuries and shock.

I've also read that two members were unrecognisable upon arrival... And they were EunB and Sojung... It is said that Sojung's face has been deformed. I really hope that's not true. I always thought she was the most beautiful member :(

I just read on jpopasia that RiSe died too now. This is horrible. I never heard of them before as I don't follow K-Pop but stuff like that just shouldn't happen to anyone. They were still so young...this is horrible.

^ I don't follow KPop much either, but this is horrible. This is even worse than Country Musume.

BBC and Wall Street Journal (among others) report Rise died yesterday.  I suppose that makes it official.  The WSJ blog said she never recovered from the aborted surgery.

RiSe will have a funeral in Korea but also one in Japan (family) and will stay there. She'll get cremated at the same place as EunB. The other three girls will all attend the Korean funeral and will get checked again if they can leave hospital. At least those three seem to be somehow safe and their physical injuries aren't as bad as the mental scars. I really hope they will get all the help they need to deal with this difficult situation.

I still can't believe I have to write something like this about young idols. Until the accident I never even heard of them so I have no connection to them at all but still got struck so hard by this. I don't even want to imagine how those emotionally invested in them feel, or how I'd feel if something like this happened to idols I like. Hopefully I'll never find out.
