The negative view of the disaster plunged Lee into a second trauma Posts criticizing survivors and victims poured out on social media, SNS, etc. Song was at an age where he could not help but know that society and the surrounding situation were never favorable to him by looking at comments that concluded, “They were reckless children who didn’t keep order because they were crazy about playing with their friends or even took drugs.” I think that kind of atmosphere has encouraged isolation and guilt, making it hard for me to reach out to anyone.”
Lee revealed himself as a victim in a YouTube video dealing with the disaster and left a long comment with 1,537 characters He explained why he went to Itaewon and how he was swept away by the crowd and how he survived “I wanted to die I still want to die and I feel so sorry for them, and everything seemed to be my fault and the world abandoned me.” After a while, I sent a message to my friend saying, “I’ll be there as soon as possible so don’t worry and wait,” and he finally passed away
There are people who criticize and attack with aggressive comments whenever there is a story about Itaewon, but I brought it because I wanted you to know that there are things like this
