club. Ms. A, a woman in her 20s, who was looking down on the first floor from the second floor landing, exclaimed: The aisle is only wide enough for two to three people to pass through, so a fall accident could occur at any time.
It didn't look good. In one corner of a sloping alley near Itaewon Station, trash and items from nearby shops were placed. ``If you pile things up on the street unnecessarily, you will receive guidance from the ward office.''
A warning message was posted, but as the night went on, people smoking cigarettes crowded in and the area became crowded. One year has passed since the crowd accident that occurred in Itaewon. The Itaewon area that reporters toured from the 19th to the 20th
There still seemed to be some danger lurking. Before we know it, nearly a year has passed since the accident, and although weekend nights are full of life as before, the citizens of Jiformer are still thinking about the tragedy that happened a year ago.
He looks worriedly at the crowded city. A part of the narrow alley in front of Exit 1 of Itaewon Station, next to the Hamilton Hotel, where a crowd accident occurred last year, has been partially renovated to create a ``path of memory and safety.''
It was covered by a wall. At the locations where the walls were erected, citizens could be seen looking around at the posters and writing messages. After the crowd accident occurred, nearby stores temporarily refrained from operating, but now...
At night, there were bright neon lights and loud music playing. Some stores even went so far as to solicit customers from outside the street. Streets with large numbers of clubs still pose a high risk of accidents
It looked like. As it approached midnight, it became packed with people, and there were times when it became difficult to walk. Ms. A, a woman in her 20s who often visits clubs in Itaewon, said, ``Before, we used to touch each other's shoulders on the street.''
I didn't know about the dangers of driving too far, but after last year's accident, I started to feel that it was dangerous.''He added, ``I've drawn markings on the roads to ensure people drive on the left.''
I wish I had been there," he said. Those I spoke to in Itaewon unanimously said, ``Anxiety remains.'' Mr. B, a tavern clerk in his 20s, said, ``The customers going up and down the stairs...
If there's someone drunk inside, I make sure to watch over them until the end, just in case." Ms. C, a woman in her 20s, said, ``I come to this place with a certain amount of preparedness that there will be a lot of people, but it's very crowded.''
"In times of crisis, I would like to see restrictions on the number of people present," she said, adding, "Small women can get injured just by bumping into a larger foreigner."
It has been found that there are many dangerous situations inside clubs with dim lighting.
At the club, located underground near Itaewon Station, the stairs leading down from the entrance were narrow, and I was worried about what would happen if there were too many people. nine

Some people were. There were no handrails or other structures in the dancing space, so if there were too many people crowded together at once, there seemed to be no way out. Emergency exit located on the toilet side
The display was small and there were no guide lights installed. Staff guiding customers relied on fluorescent bracelets on their wrists and lights from their cellphones.

People were swinging on the railings drunk. There was also the risk of a fire starting from indoor fireworks. People who once worked at a club said, ``Don't get drunk and collapse on the stairs.''
``These accidents had been happening frequently before,'' he said. ``At that time, people were not as cautious because it was before crowd accidents occurred, but I think we need to take countermeasures now.''
On the other hand, many people were seen visiting the accident site. Mr. Nishimiya (23), a Japanese citizen, said, ``I came to Korea for the first time in three years, and I can't believe that such a terrible accident happened here.''
``I want to comfort young people my age,'' he said. Mr. D (41), who visited South Korea from Canada, said, ``Unfortunately, a friend of mine lost his life here,'' adding, ``I will never allow a tragedy like this to happen again.''
This must not happen,'' he said, while leaving a message that read ``peace.''
