"Hearing about people my age going through this and suddenly dying makes me feel troubled."

People in Seoul's Itaewon neighborhood poured drinks and left flowers to grieve those killed when a Halloween celebration turned into a deadly crowd crush. https://t.co/JctsPdc8Mp

Someone on Korean Twitter pointed out that Sewol happened in 2014 and most of the victims from last night were in their twenties—this means two national disasters happened to essentially the same generation of young Koreans. And the pandemic made them lose two years of their 20s.

"There were so many people that we couldn't move," said a witness to the Halloween crowd crush in Seoul, which killed at least 146 people. "It looked like I would have died if I had fallen." https://t.co/rKHRv9L6uh

The so-called head manager pointed fingers, making sighs and called me “unbelievable” when I had told them what I was informed by the Korean customs. @KLM @AirFranceKLM Very disappointing, and blackmailing passengers to deny their boarding when asking for help is appalling.

[sarahtonin @lasarahtonin]

Incredibly disappointing behavior from @KLM Korea today boarding KL0868. When asked for help to escort outside the check in area to retain my lost carry-on, they refused and threatened to reject my boarding. Its required by Korean Law for an airline employee to escort passengers

[sarahtonin @lasarahtonin]

Not only @KLM Korea threatened to reject my boarding when simply asked for help, they called the baggage service to take my luggage out that has gone through already. This happened an hour before boarding and blamed me for delaying their schedule.

I thought I couldn’t love her more- then she gave this speech. Such a well deserved Oscar win.

🧵SKorea's key mayoral elections w/presidential implications went unnoticed, perhaps not sexy enough globally, but here's why they were significant. Seoul & Busan were a referendum on Moon & ruling party. But they don’t mean Koreans like the conservative opposition any better..1/

@_MissONeill_ @Bfoundation What an amazing resource. Body image in such a prevalent issue in schools today and one that we need to be taking seriously.

It's the start of Summer in the United Kingdom in 2015, and Protein World, a supplement company selling weight-loss products, ignites nationwide controversy with an advertising campaign asking London Underground commuters if they are "beach body ready"

[Min Jin Lee @minjinlee11]

Hyun Jung Grant was one of the 8 people murdered on Tuesday. She was an Korean immigrant who worked at Gold Spa—a single mother of 2 sons. Her son Randy Park, age 23, said “She wasn’t just my mother. She was my friend.” https://t.co/vu7qpmEXBU

@BBCLBicker Honestly think there was really no need to bring up Itaewon again in the statement. Low blow.

[Laura Bicker @BBCLBicker]

This seems like an important thing to share here in Korea. Hope it helps

[Laura Bicker @BBCLBicker]

One fifth of people asked by South Korea's National Mental Health survey said they were at risk of depression. Huge increase from 2018 where that number was 3.8% in 2018. Nearly 14% of those asked said they'd had suicidal thoughts - that figure was 4.7% in 2018.
