PSY's agency P Nation issued a statement expressing its condolences on Sunday after a construction worker died while dismantling the set for the singer's concert "Summer Swag 2022."

The Mongolian man in his 20s was working under an outsourcing agency hired to construct stage structures. Around 3:53 p.m. on Sunday, he fell 15 meters (49 feet) while taking down a lighting tower at the Gangneung Stadium in Gangneung, Gangwon, where PSY's "Summer Swag 2022" had taken place the day before. He was moved to a local hospital but later died.

"We express our sincerest condolences to the worker who passed away after a sudden accident," P Nation said in its statement. "We also send our deepest condolences to the surviving family."

P Nation added that the agency will take care of the funeral.

"We will do our best to establish measures to prevent another accident like this from happening, with a sense of responsibility," the agency said.
