The Association of International Ministries, a network of English-speaking churches and ministries in the greater Seoul area, said Thursday it would hold a special memorial service Sunday to commemorate the victims of last year's deadly Itaewon crowd crush
On Oct. 29 last year, crowds packed into an alley in Itaewon, Seoul, from three directions, forming a crush that claimed the lives of 159 people.
“To those who are grieving, we grieve with you and long to pray with you and support you,” the organization said in a statement.
It added that the memorial and prayer service also supports those impacted by the incident, as well as those coping with difficulties in recovering.
The prayer will be held at Freedom Village Church, an English-speaking church near Itaewon in Haebangchon, on Sunday at 7 p.m.
