South Korean actor Yoon Hong-bin has shared his account of the Itaewon crowd crush, a tragedy he thought “could have been prevented”.

“The police and paramedics on-site were insufficient [in number], so I ran in immediately and began performing CPR,” added Yoon, who observed “dozens of people” performing CPR on victims in the surrounding alleyways. Yoon said that in his opinion, the crowd crush was preventable. “Please send a warm farewell to [Lee], who left us too soon,” wrote his agency 935 Entertainment in an official statement. “More and more people were being carried out, and because they couldn’t carry them in ambulances anymore, they began putting people down in the alley and conducting CPR.” “I went outside to smoke, and I saw people getting carried down [the street],” he wrote. On October 30, Yoon shared a now-deleted Instagram post recounting his Saturday night at Itaewon, when the incident unfolded.
