In the aftermath of the Itaewon disaster, there was a widespread trend of refraining from Halloween events, and an accident occurred in which an elementary school student was seriously injured when a famous English academy held a party. Negligence in safety management is pointed out as the cause.
According to Yonhap News on the 31st, a Halloween part was hosted at an English academy in Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do at around 8:30 pm on the 27th. Ms. A, a 5th grade elementary school student, attended this party and suffered a torn forehead with visible bones.
Looking at the closed-circuit (CCTV) video, the accident occurred when a monster attacked the children.

Ms. A immediately received treatment for her forehead at the hospital, but was diagnosed at the hospital that her muscles and nerves could not fully recover and she may have a permanent disability.
Ms. A’s father said, “It makes no sense to have an accident while imitating Western customs,” and pointed out, “If you create a scary situation in a dark space, children may fall and get hurt, but safety has been neglected too much, and dangerous events should not be held.” did.
The academy that caused the accident acknowledged responsibility. They say they will do their best to help Ms. A recover. They also announced plans to post an official apology on the academy’s website.
An official from the academy said, “We held an event to leave good memories for the children, but because we were overly motivated, we couldn’t take care of what we should have. We are reflecting a lot and will do our best to provide treatment until the end so that the child’s condition returns to before the accident.” .
