(UPDATE) SOUTH TANGERANG, Indonesia: K-pop band NCT 127 was forced to end their first concert in Indonesia early after 30 people fainted in a crush, police said.

This comes as Indonesia is still reeling from last month's stadium stampede that left more than 130 people, including over 40 children, dead — a disaster regarded as one of the deadliest in football's history.
