- "Dad, I'm going out" were the last words Jung Hae-moon heard his daughter say over the phone, before she left to celebrate Halloween in Seoul's Itaewon district. As they buried her, the family's grief was mixed with anger at the failure to prevent last week's stampede.

Nothing is more painful than a mother burying her own child.
@TSG 302W What?
So true.
@TSG 302W 这些都不是人！
She die. Just let go. Its her fault for going for halloween which is nonsesical event.
Its no fun for fathers either.
I still got my tears
When they said " mom and dad will come often here until we die "
Rest in peace .
my deepest condolences to these parents who are grieving the loss of their daughter 😔😥 A hug ❤️🙏
Her cry.... 💔💔💔, you'll never understand what she's feeling until you feel it😭😭😭. Sending light and love to the victims and their families.
Rest in peace
Heartfelt condolences to loved ones
No parent should bury their child. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Y un hijo tan joven
It's so heartbreaking...no words to say..
The mother is right for what she said about the police.. I'm really so angry that until now no one got punished..I hope in the future the authorities will take strict measures in every event..in every street..in every subway..
Who shall be punished? Please be more realistic rather than be consume with your emotions. This is not an event, there is no negligent/responsible for the incident here. This is an unfortunate tragedy, because it is usually crowded in Itaewon during Halloween but not to this extent that's why nobody expected the crowd to be this huge and deadly, not even the authorities.
The main lesson here is not to push whenever you’re in a crowd. If the crowd is too big, just move along inch by inch, but never push ahead...stampede happens when people starts pushing
authorities already predicted the crowd would be at least 100k and didn't implement any crowd control despite they have been doing it for years prior covid , the police received many calls asking for the crowd to be controlled several hours before the crush happened and yet they still did nothing. How is not their fault?
I question this rush and need to punish someone right away. People are taking responsibility, punishment in reasonable form is being doled out. What kind of swift punishment are people really wanting? Swift punishment leads to scapegoating and no real
Lessons being learned. Because now that punishment has been served we can all breathe easy right? No. Don’t breathe easy. Demand more structured and city planning and not complacency from authorities and areas that hold large events but also from the public that attends them. Selfish behavior needs to go.
@@renek2913 l agree, no paramedic workers, no fireworkers, only 137 policeman. Why do not close ltaewon station before...policemen were at the others protests...There are CCTV everywhere and in subway... Président, Minister, police chief are guilty.
this is the girl who shouted loudly and hopeless before having passed away from the crowd crush. I have watched several videos and seen her stuck in the middle, that’s so bad:((
So sad. May she rest in peace x
unlike “widow” or “orphan,” there’s no word for parents who have lost a child.. T_T my deepest condolences... my heart grieves with everyone...
there is ,it's called vilomah or bereaved
I am the mother of two sons in their early 20s and I cannot imagine having to bury one especially at such a young age when they have their whole lives ahead of them. I love my sons more than anything in this world and I don’t know what I would do if I lost them. My heart goes out to this woman and to every other parent who lost their child in this tragedy. 😢
May she rest in peace. I wish strength for the parents in these difficult times.
This is so heartbreaking, may the victims Rest In Peace. 🙏
this story is so heartbreaking it hurts... I don't want to imagine all the other victims family and friends have to go through this...
Sigh… her family must be grieving so badly and wished they insisted her to join their dinner…. No parent should go through this
May her beautiful Soul rest in Peace Amen
This is so heartbreaking..May their Family and Friends find Peace in knowing that they are all up there in Heaven with God our Creator and He is embracing them and giving them comfort..God bless their Souls..
God bless this family, may her soul and spirit be delivered to heaven. ❤
Her mom and dad’s words brought me to tears 💔
Still praying for the families and will continue to do so.
MY CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILIES WHO HAVE LOST THEIR LOVE ONE.
I WILL SEND MY PRAYERS , EVERYTHING MUST PASSED GOOD OR BAD LOOK INTO THE GOOD AND HAPPY MOMENTS OF HER LIFESTYLE. 🙏🙏🙏🇸🇬
I am sending my deepest condolences to those who lose their loved ones. 😢🙏
Time does not heal, it just gets easier every day
Rest in peace beautiful child. May God give comfort to this poor family
Heartbreaking
My deepest condolences from Canada
It was not a stampede. Experts on the topic already explained the difference between a stampede and a crowd surge. Please stop calling it a stampede. It places the blame on the victims.
I'm sending my deepest condolences to their family.
Thank you very much for this report. I am grateful to see and hear the stories of the victimes. My deepest condolences to the family.
Her mum so strong!
These stories are so heart wrenching😢😢😢
RIP 🌼🌼🙏🌼🌼deepest condolences to her family and friends. My prayers🙏🙇🙌 with the you all in your time of grief🌼🌼🙏🌼🌼
O lord the mom crying hurts my heart. I'm so sorry...
Turut berdukacita semoga arwahnya tenang disana dan ditempatkan di tempat yang terindah Amen
Condolences family and Korea and to all foreigners who lost their lives healing is on the way ❤❤❤❤❤
Que terrible sufrimiento, y peor, por la angustia de saber cómo fue la muerte de esa persona querida. Dios mío, al ver tanta gente, lo mejor era dar la vuelta y regresar. Mucho dolor, muchas familias dolientes. Que encuentren paz y fortaleza. Seguro no muchos sabían que es eso de halloween y sólo salieron a pasar una agradable velada. Es doloroso
May her soul rest in peace 🙏
Time will heal your heart. Even though it won't go away but it will not hurt as much as now. Just live and when the time is up you can meet again.
My aunt lost her son at 30 years of age in a drowning accident, and no the heart do not heal but you learn to live with it. But you are never the same. The people that have lost a son or daughter or brother or sister in this tragedy will simply have to learn to live with the grief. Yes it will go longer time between the tears and you can in time begin to smile. But part of the heart is buried with your child .
I disagree. No parent heal from their loss of a child especially in a tragedy that could have been prevented. They just learn to live with it.
time won’t heal anything. we are just gonna get used to the pain.
Healing doesn't mean it go back to totally the same before. The day the hurt doesn't hurt as much as day one and the day you get used to your pain and loss that is also healing too. Some of you expect or define the word heal to a very specific definition while some see it in a broader angle. Time does heal everything in this world. Time also wash out and erase everything in this world.
You all can say out your thoughts in this matter here and you all are not wrong and I will respect it but don't overly stress on being technically correct in certain settings in the real world when you attend funerals or griefing. In this context I am focus on consoling people not stressing on being technical here.
Lastly remember one thing. This universe is infinitely vast and it doesn't care for the humans in it. Our problems are insignificant and meaningless in it. So people try not to always live in our pains and regrets. Before we know it we are space dust in no time again so don't hold onto anything too much in life. You will only made yourself suffer unnecessarily.
It will take years for that to happen. I think losing a loved one is the worst feeling/pain to ever feel in life.💔
I can imagine what you are going true because I experienced...I send my prayers to you. Its going to be difficult.. now your daughter is an angel..she will be always by your side..
Sudden and senseless deaths are really tragic and more painful. Rest in peace to lost souls in Souls and inner healing to their bereaved loved ones and friends.
It's so heart breaking but it's well... Rest on dear 🕊️
Her Dog going to Miss her so Bad OMG And her parents too the dog also did not know her owner not coming back Home RIP the rest of people in itaewon
I hope that everybody that had a pet , that their loved once take care of them for the rest of their lives. And do not give up on the pets.

Rest in peace
This is inaccurate. It is NOT a stampede. It is technically a CROWD CRUSH and COLLAPSE
Ok lor must be cold there enjoy body heat
@@tankman20064 Leaving you in the comfort your ignorance LAH! Lol
This was adressed by the experts but some media still call it stampede.
Is it really that much of importance when the video is about grief?
That makes more sense. So people started pushing and caused a chain reaction of force that caused many to collapse?
So painful 😢❤
I can’t believe so many young people died from this horrific death by a stampede. How can humans be such animals and inhumane smashing each other for what?!!!
그것이 알고싶다 "핼러윈의 비극 외면당한 SOS" 에 출연하신 정해문씨 이렇게 사랑스러운 둘째딸을 잃으셨다니 어떤말로도 위로가 안될거같습니다. 부모는 먼저간 자식 가슴에 뭍는다는데 자식이 어떻게 부모의 마음을 헤아릴수 있을까요? 주희씨가 부디 하늘나라에서 편히 쉬셨으면 좋겠어요. 이태원 참사 희생자들의 명복을 빕니다. Jung Hae-moon, who appeared in SBS Unanswered Questions tv show "Halloween Tragedy Ignored SOS", lost such a lovely second daughter, I don't think any words can comfort me. How can a child understand the heart of a parent when a parent is buried in the heart of the child who went first? I hope Joo-hee can rest in peace in heaven. We pray for the victims of the Itaewon crowd surge.
My heart goes out to the pets, They do not understand why their owner do not come back. This is WHY you NEED to have a plan for your pet, so they are safe and well taken care of in case the unthinkable would happen. Poor doggie. Extra Big hugs for the cute poodle. Sorry for your loss little dog but do not worry, They will take care of you. And give you love.
That poodle will get more love than before especially from the parents.
So true!
It’s strangely emotional to me…I used to own a dog but she passed away after a car accident. I was in tremendous pain because I think of my pet as a sibling. Never have I thought of my pet seeing me pass away before her. I could never fathom this.
So sad 😢
I can’t this is so painful
Such a senseless death. My condolences.
RIP TO HER
How awful 😢 deepest condolence’s
Oh God... 💔
RIP 🙏
Honestly -
No one should be blamed for this tragedy.
Everyone should have awareness of risk and safety and is responsible for his/her action or choices in staying with or leaving the crowd.
Lord, please comfort them. They need you now more than ever🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌸🌸🌸.😩😩😩😩😩😩
This is so sad
Too sad 😢 ☹️
No parents want to bury their children I can only imagine their pain. Rest in peace

ขอแสดงความเสียใจต่อครอบครัวผู้สูญเสียด้วยนะคะ😭😭😭😭😭
🙏ขอให้ดวงวิญญานไปสู่สวรรค์นะคะ
R.I.P loveble sweetheart sister 😭 💐🌹 🙏
Iam very sorry
My heartful sorrow for all the lost lives.
Does anybody know how stampede stopped? I mean how the majority managed to survive? Did the police interfere or did the people just manage to leave this place somehow?
Back home(philippines), Halloween is primarily to celebrate our dear departed ones, we go to the cemetery, have meal/fun/prayer and spend time with our dear departed love ones, we also cook meals at home in honor of our dear departed luv ones, most of the time, friends/other family members joins the dinner. Unfortunately, some younger generation/people adapts what other countries are doing, most of us still do the traditional way of celebrating Halloween though...RIP to all those who perished in this tragedy.
Bro, that's All Saints Day. Halloween is different and it isn't even a holiday. People just like throwing Halloween parties and kids doing Trick or Treat wearing costumes because it's fun.
This comment isn't just stupid but also dangerous.
Stop with this all hidden hate towards how people have fun at Halloween,it could have happened to everyone and on every occasion and comments like this are honestly tiring.
The police probably failed it's public safety duty when it seriously mattered
This accident reminds of the Terrible Sewol sinking 2014 hundreds of young students drowned
though circumstances are different
Regardless the Grief n trauma suffered by Every bereaved family is similarly deeply Painful
May the bereaved Parents find strength
avoid dangerous overcrowding
Cold weather all go hug together ? K-POP HUH
Sadly the real blame is celebrating a satanic holiday Halloween is wicked and this proves it
You have a beautiful smile and face. You are as beautiful a woman as every man dreams of. I'm sorry you died so badly. I am a strong and tall man. I wish I had been your lover, to be with you that night and saved you from being crushed. I think maybe i could do this...
It wasn’t a stampede, it was a crush, to many people in a small place, RIP, sorry for your loss.
If it's stampede the victim will be thousands not hundreds. Man at least get that news correctly, also police is already there few times but they get ignored there even video about that, once the crowd crush happen not much emergency workers can do to help, expecially when some moron still want to go to itaewon even when the crowd crush happen.
So sad rip
You can’t call it a stampede. It is a crush
Now the beings in the Ultimate Bliss World of Amitabul Buddha gather all together in one place but they have no suffering but enjoy every Bliss. What a difference between this World and the Ultimate Bliss World of the Amitabul Buddha! "Namu Amitabul"🙏
