Bereaved relatives of victims of last year’s devastating Halloween crush in Seoul and their supporters demanded an independent investigation of the disaster as they marked the anniversary Sunday with a massive memorial service. The crush, one of the biggest peacetime disasters in South Korea, killed 159 people, most of them in their 20s and 30s who had gathered in Itaewon, a popular nightlife district in Seoul, for Halloween celebrations.
” Several opposition politicians criticized Yoon for failing to attend the ceremony and accused his government of trying to conceal the truth of the disaster. They also vowed to pass the special law to get to the bottom of the tragedy. The victims' families said they had invited Yoon to the memorial ceremony. Yoon instead visited a Seoul church to attend a service for the victims.
