- Itaewon Halloween Tragedy, This is the Cause According to Citizen Theory
KOMPAS.com – The Halloween festival in the Itaewon district, Seoul, left deep sorrow for South Korea. A total of 153 people died in horrific crowds at the biggest Halloween party since Covid-19 restrictions were lifted.
Tens of thousands of people flock to the streets of Itaewon for Halloween, hanging out with friends and having fun. The incident happened on a narrow side street near Itaewon station that connects many bars and clubs from the main road.
Although Halloween is not a traditional Korean holiday, it has become an annual celebration tradition and Itaewon is well known as a place to hold such events.
The remains of the incident are still clearly plastered on the streets of Itaewon, until Sunday (30/10/2022). On Sunday afternoon, residents gathered behind police tape around Itaewon station to pay their respects to the victim and try to understand what happened hours earlier.
This is one of the worst disasters South Korea has experienced in years. The exact cause of the mob is still unknown, but many residents behind police lines want to share their theories.
“This is bound to happen. There should be crowd control,” said one resident, quoted by The Guardian. “You can never control that many people,” said a woman beside him.
Some claim a well-known vlogger has taken to the streets, causing quite a stir in an already crowded area. South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has promised a thorough investigation into the tragedy.
Details are still missing, but testimonies and social media footage show many people falling to the ground in the narrow lane, while others shoved each other into or out of it. Kim Ye-ji, a young woman from Seoul who is celebrating Halloween, arrives to lay flowers near the Itaewon station exit.
According to him, the picture of body bags lining the streets is very disappointing and invites tears. “How did this happen? I feel sorry for the families of the victims. I couldn’t believe it when I saw the pictures on social media. It’s heartbreaking and unfortunate,” he said.
