Tragic Incident in Itaewon: A 24-year-old South Korean streamer, referred to as Mr. A, was caught in a deadly crowd surge during a live stream in Itaewon.
Initial Joy Turns to Horror: The stream began with laughter and smiles, but quickly transformed into chaos as screams and cries filled the air.
Desperate Pleas for Help: Mr. A witnessed a shorter girl next to him screaming for help; he reported that her face turned purple before she stopped screaming and died.
Heroic Rescue: A man in a blue denim jacket assisted Mr. A in climbing to a small ledge, allowing him to escape the crowd and subsequently help others.
Overcrowded Ledge: As Mr. A helped others onto the ledge, a fellow survivor urged him to stop pulling more people up, citing the already dangerous overcrowding.
