Cho Gi-Dong, who lost his 24-year-old daughter Ye-jin in the deadly Halloween crush in Seoul a month ago, cries as he visits a charnel house where her remains are kept in Daejeon, South Korea, Nov 29, 2022.SEOUL — Taking time off work, South Korean bus driver Cho Gi-Dong has visited a crypt where the remains of his 24-year-old daughter are kept almost every day since she perished in a deadly crush on the night of Halloween a month ago.

"Children who lost their parents are orphans, but there's no word for parents who lost their children. I have found one — a sinner. I felt so guilty for losing her," he said, holding back his tears as he gripped a wallet he had gifted Ye-jin when she went to college five years ago. Cho requested leave after Ye-jin's death, deprived of sleep and feeling helpless about having been unable to save her life.

Last week, some relatives of victims held a news conference demanding a government apology and a thorough investigation. "We don't need money, we live well enough without that money. That's not the way to console us bereaved families," Cho said.
