A man looks at flowers and notes left in memory of victims at the site of the October 29, 2022 crowd crush that killed more than 150 people during Halloween celebrations, in the popular Itaewon nightlife area in Seoul on October 25, 2023. AFPPIX: The narrow alleyway in South Korea’s capital where nearly 160 people were crushed to death during Halloween festivities a year ago was designated a “Memorial Alley” on Thursday, victims’ relatives said.
“This is a place to remember the people who became stars in the sky in an alleyway in the middle of Seoul while enjoying their daily lives on the night of October 29, 2022,“ said Lee Jung-min, a representative of bereaved families, at a ceremony unveiling a memorial street marker. Lee, who lost his then 28-year-old daughter to the crowd crush, said families of the victims were still looking for answers since the disaster.
“Only by raising awareness through a clear investigation of the truth and punishment of those truly responsible will everyone be able to live their daily lives safely,“ Lee said.
