After hearing the heartbreaking news that such a terrible thing happened to a fan who had come to meet us, all of us are deeply saddened.

We will never forget that you loved our music and performances, and that you came to that place hoping to meet us.

We are also grateful for the love and support you showed us.

We extend our deepest condolences and sympathy to the family, and sincerely pray that the deceased may rest in peace.
