On the 28th, Mayor Oh wrote on his Facebook, "I just visited the area around Hongdae Entrance Station," and evaluated, "Although the crowd was bustling due to Halloween, there was a certain order."


He said, "Firefighters, police, and district office safety personnel were working hard to maintain order everywhere, and the safety lines installed on major streets also played a part, but the citizens themselves showed a sense of order by avoiding excessive crowding and properly following the right-hand traffic rule."


He added, "I visually confirmed that our society is taking a step forward, overcoming the great pain of last year."



Mayor Oh also promised, "Yesterday (the 27th), I visited the Itaewon tragedy site and offered a silent tribute to the victims. I will make continuous efforts to create a 'Safe Seoul' so that a tragedy like that day never happens again."
