Even in Hong Dae and Gangnam, where the atmosphere was deserted and a ``balloon effect'' was expected to occur, the streets remained orderly and orderly, with police and local governments restricting the number of people.
He was showing how he had done it. The Itaewon area in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, which the reporter visited on the 29th, was deserted as people mourned the accident. Shops and restaurants are also open for Halloween.
No decorations were displayed. A significant number of stores closed down to commemorate the accident. Even on the 27th, when the floating population was expected to be at its highest, there was only one customer at the restaurant near the alley where the accident occurred.
It looked empty, with only two people sitting inside. Kim (42), who works as an event agent in Itaewon, said, ``There are many people who hold events and do business in this area, but due to the past, the business area has been affected.
I don't think it's too much of a failure,'' he said, expressing his regret. Many people visited the nearby memorial space. Mr. Lim (28) came to this place to post a note expressing condolences for the deceased.
``I visited the memorial space hoping that something like this would never happen again,'' he said, ``This year a fence was put up, but I wish they had done it sooner.''
A woman in her 40s from Canada said, ``A friend of a friend passed away here last year. I came to this place with a feeling of regret.'' She added, ``I hope something like this never happens again.''
The atmosphere was similar in Hong Dae and Gangnam Station, where more people than usual were expected to gather. People were seen wearing Halloween costumes, but the atmosphere was not lively.
There wasn't. Mr. Lee (25), a university student who came to Hong Dae, said, ``I think Hong Dae was originally noisier at this time of year, but today it's quieter than I expected.'' He came to Gangnam Station with his girlfriend.
Baek (29) expressed the atmosphere in the city, saying, ``There was an unfortunate accident last year, so everyone seems to be careful when walking around the city.'' Related organizations such as the police, ward office, and fire department are responsible for regulating the number of people and maintaining order.
The fact that he moved for the sake of others is also believed to have helped create a calm mood. Police have installed safety fences in areas such as Itaewon and Hong Dae, allowing citizens to travel in both directions without being held up.
I did it like that. They also blew whistles to control vehicle traffic and guide people through narrow crosswalks. Mapo Ward Office will use the plaza near Hong Dae Entrance Station until the 31st of this month.
Measures were taken to limit the number of people in attendance, including banning public transportation. Kim, a university student in his 20s who came to Hong Dae, said, ``Last year it wasn't as well managed, but this year there are a lot of police officers stationed there.''
``I feel a little mentally pressured, but on the other hand, I also feel reassuring.'' Experts say that crowd control during this year's Halloween period was appropriate.
However, he expressed regret that such measures were not taken last year. Professor Lee Eun-hyuk of the Department of Police Studies at Konkuk University said, ``The police should cooperate with local governments, etc.
Thanks to efforts such as deploying police officers to maintain order and control the flow of people, no accidents occurred during Halloween.
I still feel regretful that I should have gone there." Yeom Geun-eun, a professor at the Faculty of Police at Yuwon University, said, ``The South Korean government and related organizations have
As a result of improving the system and conducting training to control the number of people, I am fortunate that unlike last year, I was able to complete the period safely this year," adding, ``I wish the system had been improved and addressed sooner. teeth
I am left with a sense of regret."
