Commemorating the anniversary, the families visited the Itaewon area, laid flowers and offered condolences at an alley where the crush happened. In Itaewon, accompanied by their supporters, the families also attended multi-faith prayer services for their loved ones. The memorial ended, with the crowd shouting “We'll remember you” when names of each of the 159 victims were called. The victims’ families said they had invited Yoon to the memorial ceremony. This year's Halloween celebrations in South Korea were largely subdued, with most bars, restaurants and shops avoiding Halloween-themed events in memory of the victims.
