Itaewon district in Seoul, South Korea, is well-known for its annual Halloween celebrations. This year, however, the celebrations ended in tragedy.
Set to be the first no-mask-required event in Korea in three years after the Covid-19 pandemic, Itaewon tried its best to prepare for this year's Halloween celebrations, expecting over 100,000 visitors to the popular district.
Despite more than 200 police officers being dispatched to control crowds during the pre- Halloween weekend, chaos descended into tragedy on Saturday, October 29.
