Listen SEOUL – A 16-year-old fan of Stray Kids died on Sept 14 after suffering a medical emergency shortly before entering the K-pop group’s concert at their “Straycity” music festival in Argentina, according to media reports.

Emergency personnel at the event venue, San Isidro Racecourse near Buenos Aires, treated the teenage girl before she was taken to San Isidro Central Hospital about 400m away.
