[News Summary]

A bakery in Itaewon was lit up until late at night while merchants in Itaewon were temporarily closed to commemorate the victims of the “Halloween disaster.” This is not to run a business, but to provide drinks to police and fire officials working at the site of the disaster and give them a space to rest for a while.

In an interview with JTBC, which was released on the 2nd, owner Oh Eun-hee said, "It is true that the door is closed with mourning, but there is no room for firefighters or police officers to go in and rest for a while. Come here, use the internet, and have a cup of coffee for a while (the store is open),” he said.

Person A said, “At that time (at the time of the disaster) the store was operating and screams and cries were heard. I wanted to be helpful as I was doing business in Itaewon.”

“I never thought of any loss of business or damage to the store,” he explained.

He said, “The firefighters and the police came to thank (he said). I didn't do anything big, but I was rather embarrassed to come to say hello.

Netizens who heard the news praised it. “My heart is warmed by the boss’s consideration”, “I have a lot of trauma, but I respect the way he radiates the pain as a good influence”, “I was obscured by sadness, so I never thought of taking care of the frontline firefighters and police officers”, “I hope that the firefighters and police officers will overcome their traumas well,” and other comments.

let's do it right Is the dead a hero? A lot of mourning and remembrance was done in one day. If the dead are so pitiful, those who feel pity mourn a lot and help out financially. The reason I consider myself precious is that you don't force others to mourn socially. Who can't pretend to be good?

You can just do business. It is good to commemorate, but it is not reasonable to treat legitimate economic activities as criminals because the living have to live. And Halloween is a demonic culture of satanism. At this time, I urge you to know about Halloween properly and end the garbage culture.

But it's really weird. What does commemoration have to do with shutting down business? Self-employed people say it's hard, isn't it forcibly suspending business for too long? The real media makes people pay attention. Last year, even during the corona vaccine, people who were not vaccinated were hardly treated as human beings, but this time too, the atmosphere of having to sacrifice their livelihoods for them because of those who died in an accident while going to a crowded place to enjoy Halloween, this is really...

Even if it's someone else or anyone, let's not swear even if we open a store without the purpose of support. Each person's circumstances are different... I mourn and grieve, but there are some people who will sooner or later die for money... How can such a person be? If you ask if you want to open a store in Itaewon, you can only say yes. So you guys don't go to work? If you say it doesn't matter that I'm not in Itaewon, all I can say is that you are nonsense...
