Tragic Accident Claims Life of Young Tennis Player in Gwangju

A tragic incident occurred in Gwangju, South Korea, where an 11-year-old girl, referred to as A양, lost her life after being struck by a falling teenager from a 13-story commercial building. The Korea Tennis Association expressed their condolences on July 9, stating that A양 was a promising young tennis player who had recently participated in a selection event for the youth sports competition. Despite not qualifying, she remained optimistic, declaring, 'I will definitely make it next year.' A양 was preparing for the upcoming Suncheon Junior Tournament set to begin on July 11. The association described her as a spirited athlete and expressed deep sorrow over the incident, which also claimed the life of her mother, C씨, who passed away the day after the accident. The association plans to set up a memorial space at the tournament venue and players will wear black ribbons in her honor. The accident occurred on July 7 when an 18-year-old girl, B양, fell from the rooftop, hitting three pedestrians, including A양 and her mother. B양 was reportedly receiving treatment at a psychiatric hospital located in the building at the time of the incident. Authorities are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the fall.
