Commemoration Platform Lets You Determine How You're Remembered Online

On Halloween night in 2022, more than 100,000 people flooded the streets of Seoul, South Korea, to celebrate and participate in the city’s festivities. Thousands funneled into a 14-foot-wide alley in the Itaewon district from multiple directions.

The crowd grew so large that no one could move in the alley, resulting in the deadliest crowd crush in the nation’s history. Nearly 160 people were killed, and another 196 were injured.

Soonho Kwon, a first-year human-centered computing Ph.D. student at Georgia Tech, lived within walking distance of the alley when the incident occurred.
