A year after the Itaewon crowd crush—which left 159 dead—nobody has taken responsibility for the disaster.

It was the first virtually unrestricted Halloween festivities since the pandemic, yet only 137 police officers were on duty in the area—compared with 6,500 assigned to monitor a peaceful protest of around 25,000 people against the government of President Yoon Suk-yeol the same night. Just after 10 p.m., the crowds in Itaewon surged in different directions with people losing their footing on the alley’s incline, causing a domino effect and many to be trampled.

“[Officials] try to make it the victims’ own fault,” says Joung-Joo Choi, who lost his daughter, Yujin. “If they didn’t go there, they wouldn’t have died.”
