Thousands of people gathered near Seoul’s city hall on Saturday to commemorate the 156 people killed in a Halloween crowd crush in Itaewon last weekend.
The victims, mostly young people, were among the estimated 100,000 that flocked to the popular Itaewon nightlife district to celebrate the first post-pandemic Halloween.
South Korean law enforcement officials have conceded that there was insufficient safety planning and opposition politicians have accused the government of not taking responsibility for the disaster
