Bereaved family members of the victims of the Itaewon crowd stampede were in a standoff with police in central Seoul, Saturday, as they took to the streets on the 100th day of the tragedy and installed a memorial altar in a public square without approval from the authorities.
Sunday will mark the 100-day anniversary of the Itaewon tragedy of last Halloween. The bereaved families remain agonized, not only from the lack of proper investigation but also by far-right protesters surrounding their mourning site. At the western end of Itaewon-ro, about 400 meters from the site of the tragic crowd crush that took at least 159 lives on Oct. 29, 2022, is a temporary memorial space set up by the Association of Families of Itaewon Disaster Victims and civic groups on Dec. 14.
