BigHit's girl group CØSMIC were involved in a fatal car accident the night of March 3 (local time) on their way back from Gyeongsan, Seoul.
BigHit Entertainment came out with the devastating news earlier today. The group of five had gone out to celebrate their official debut, which had been planned to be today, March 4, since nearly a year ago.
On their way back to their dorm in Seoul, a drunk driver was reported to have hit the group's vehicle, causing it to flip onto it's side.
While explicit details weren't revealed in the official statement, the company, unfortunately, confirmed the passing of two members, Choi YeoJin (YEOJIN) and Kang TaeHee (TAEHEE).
The remaining three members, Choi SooJin (SOOJIN), Ono Misaki (MISAKI) and Choi Bom I (BOMI) have suffered severe injuries and are being treated at YulJe Medical Center in Seoul.
Upon the news, the K-Pop community who've patiently awaited their debut responded on Twitter with hashtags #PrayForCØSMIC , #ETERNALLY5 & indivual hashtags for the deceased members.
While it's still unclear on what's going to happen with their prepared content and projects, BigHit Entertainment has asked the public to respect the members' privacy during this difficult time.

Misaki slowly came out of the unfamiliar darkness, nothing but pain evident in her system once she'd regained enough sensation.
she felt her eyes being opened, a bright yet blurry light being shined directly into both.
"ms. Ono, can you hear me?" a soft voice spoke into the air, Misaki attempting to wiggle her eyebrows as her eyes hurt too much to open.
"please wiggle your toes if you can," she tried so hard to practically shake her entire body— signalling she was still there.
