1. [+556, -4] I saw on the news that it wasn't even a half-basement they were living in, it was just a basement ㅠㅠ may they rest in peace
2. [+452, -11] Please stop renting out basements as homes. They are not fit for humans to live in.
3. [+434, -6] This is so frustrating... To think that they had to close out their lives while living in a basement while living in such an advanced world..
4. [+31, -1] They were disabled and on welfare. Why were they living in a basement? What happened to all of the rental apartments for people like them?? Why are all of these apartments filled with people driving luxury cars? Shouldn't we be prioritizing housing for the disabled and poor instead of offering cuts for newlywed couples?
5. [+26, -1] It breaks my heart to know that they had a disabled daughter ㅠ in your next life, please be born as Lee Jae Yong's offspring ㅠ

1. [+3,092, -46] How can this still be happening in Seoul in the 21st century...
2. [+2,294, -30] This is so unfortunate. May they rest in peace ㅠ
3. [+124, -4] How could anyone have thought that they would die in their own homes... this is not right
4. [+109, -1] Like a scene out of the movie 'Parasite'.. ㅠㅠ it makes me sad to hear that their neighbors tried everything to save them..
5. [+106, -0] The rich keep rising higher and higher while the poor get buried under basements
6. [+74, -8] The disabled continue to die like this while society fails to treat them like human beings ㅠㅜ
7. [+65, -1] Reminds me of the movie 'Parasite'... the rainfall was just another night to the rich, an occasion to drink some wine over classical music, while for someone else, it was a matter of life or death...
8. [+50, -0] The family's grandmother was in the hospital ㅠ I can't imagine how she will feel when she finds out she lost both her daughter and granddaughter ㅠ
9. [+40, -3] It's a bizarre feeling... I read a post from a teen living in a high rise Gangnam apartment south of Seoul complaining about how her family's car is underwater... meanwhile another teen living in a basement was losing her life at that same time...
10. [+33, -0] This is really the movie 'Parasite'. While the rich are enjoying the vibes of the rain, another is losing their life in the flood... bitter reality
