" Itaewon " have occupied the hot searches in the past few days.

.1 million people Halloween party ended with rows of corpses.

This stampede accident that occurred in Itaewon, Seoul on the evening of October 29 shocked the whole world.

According to South Korea's "Joong Ilbo" report on November 1, with the death of two seriously injured people, the Seoul Municipal Police Department announced that as of the 1st, the number of people killed in the Halloween stampede accident in Itaewon increased to 156, including 101 women and 55 men.

It can be said that this is the largest public safety accident in South Korea since the Sewol incident in 2014.

We still can't bear to look at the details of this tragedy again. According to the survivor's recollection,

As soon as I left the bar, I was facing a row of corpses.

People fell down one after another, stacked five or six layers, just like graves.

Some people gradually lose consciousness, and some look dead. Combining pictures like

with text gives people the only feeling of suffocation and being unable to breathe.

Who would have thought that a carnival would turn into an unrestrained disaster.

After a night of terror, the carnival Itaewon seemed to have really become a "ghost town", very quiet and lifeless.

Many people don’t know that in fact, there was a tragedy of in this place many years ago.

"Itaewon Murder"

This case is called one of the four unsolved cases in South Korea: Itaewon Murder.

is too bloody because the scene is modified four times before it is released. It is said that the director also received a threat from the murderer during the shooting, asking him to stop shooting.

It is the release of this movie that has caused the retrial of the case that has been silent for more than 20 years. The tragedy told in the video also originated from an accident.

Boy (played by Song Joong Ki ), a 22-year-old college student, was originally happily dating his girlfriend at a hamburger shop.

He just went out to the bathroom and didn't provoke anyone.

However, what awaits him is death.

This is obviously a "indiscriminate murder incident".

What is indiscriminate killing?

means that there is no grudge between the murderer and the victim, and randomly killing people!

Seeing that she couldn't wait for her boyfriend, the girl went to the bathroom to find her boyfriend. The moment she pushed the door open, she was frightened and the boy fell in a pool of blood.

His blood stained the bathroom tiles. The Burger King , which was supposed to give people a joyful and relaxed sense, instantly turned into a terrifying murder scene.

He had nine injuries on his body, seven in his neck, two in his chest, and died of a carotid artery ruptured...

died with his eyes open.

Who is so cruel and so cruel to a stranger?

The police quickly locked in the target, a mixed-race American, Korean and American, Pearson (played by Zhang Geun-suk ), whose father is a US military stationed in South Korea, so he has many privileges.

Even if the evidence is conclusive, he still denies it.

Later, his companion, another Korean-American boy, Alex, appeared, and his father also had a strong background.

Under his testimony, he said that the man was killed by Pearson and even showed off.

However, in Pearson's mouth, the murderer became Alex.

Just like that, the two of them shook each other, each holding their own opinions, and they all said that the murderer was the other party.

Two suspects, one problem.

Killing people, in their opinion, seems to be a game.

However, the reality is even more magical. The murderer is clearly standing in front of him, but he cannot be convicted.

Two suspects, zero murderer.

In the face of South Korea's judicial system, the problem of "having two suspects" actually evolved into the ending of "no murderer".

Alex was released in court due to insufficient evidence.

is very strange. The case happened in 1997. Alex was acquitted in 1998. In 1999, Pearson was pardoned in 1 year and 6 months in prison for in 1998. After being sentenced to in prison, he fled to the United States in the middle of the second year.

His sneering expression was chilling. The case of

ended in failure.

Until 2009, 12 years have passed since the case occurred, and the film filmed on the case as a prototype was released. Things have changed. Although the content of the video has been dramatically adapted to the character's name and the details of the incident, the audience is very clear that this is an allusion to the unsolved unsolved case that year.

Some people say that it is because everyone can’t see the scene of Song Joong-ki lying in a pool of blood. This may be the most positive time for a traffic actor to act in a movie.

directly led to the restart of the investigation of the case.

South Korean prosecutors are forced to formally apply for extradition to prisoners abroad under public pressure.

In 2015, the suspect Pearson was deported to South Korea and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

However, Alex is still at large.

So, who killed someone among them is still a mystery.

And in this tragedy, the most heartbreaking thing is the dead boy. He is the third-generation only son in the family. He has been working part-time and just gotten admitted to the university he likes as he wishes.

Now, he died in a bad life.

That night of Itaewon is still a shadow that is difficult to erase in the hearts of Koreans after 25 years.

Now, this shadow is even more aggravated hundreds or thousands of times.

Singer Park Jin-young and UV lyrics in "Itaewon Freedom" sang:

"Free Itaewon, the brilliant lights, the world full of youth..."

As the lyrics say, Itaewon, as one of the most lively places in Seoul, symbolizes freedom, youth, and brilliance...

In the Korean drama " Secret Garden ", " Brilliant Heritage " and the popular " Itaewon Class" have all been filmed in many places in Itaewon.

In the minds of young Koreans, "Itaewon" is synonymous with youth trends.

So many young people will focus here, like the three protagonists in the film, like the 100,000 people who came to the carnival on the 29th.

However, the tragedy was in a moment.

Life is too fragile, you will never know which one will come first, tomorrow or accident.

is just like the short comment of the film says: an entertaining beginning, a heavy ending.

Many people watch this film, most of them are for the two handsome men, Oppa, Song Joong Ki and Jang Geun Suk.

is easily clicked in, and when he comes out, he is already full of holes. Especially after seeing the real event, he is a little helpless and heartbroken.

The tragedy that happened on October 29 is also an entertaining beginning and a heavy end.

Those young lives originally just participated in a carnival night, but instantly became the Shura field of the god of death.

Itaewon, after 25 years, became the endorsement of the god of death again.

Conclusion:

Some people say that itaewon will soon release another movie adapted from a real event. But we want to say that we really don’t want to see such a movie again.

Itaewon, it should restore its original youthful and vibrant appearance. Instead, every time you mention it, it is related to tragedy and death.

hopes that we can find the truth as soon as possible for the case and let the deceased rest in peace; for accidents, we hope that we will wake up the safety alarm and beware of such tragedies happening again.
