EunB of South Korean girl group Ladies's Code died September 3 (local time) in a van accident on their way to Seoul. Two other members Kwon Rise and SoJung are in critical condition, with Rise having emergency brain surgery.

The official statement from the band's agency:

"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."

"Due to this, Eun Bi unfortunately passed away. The other members, 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."

"Our staff is also unable to recover from the shock and are in great sorrow right now. 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."

What a tragedy. So young. The group was cited by Billboard as one of the groups to watch this year in Korean Pop music.
