1. [+227] It is for the best that it gets canceled, considering the current situation...
2. [+165] It's disappointing but what's happening right now is unexplainable in words and it's completely understandable that they'd cancel it..
3. [+123] As they should...
4. [+48] Disappointed but it must be done...
5. [+39] They were right to cancel it
6. [+78] It's disappointing but this is the right thing to do
7. [+3] Good on SM for canceling it.. the situation is so terrible right now that it's right for them to do so..!
8. [+3] This is the right thing to do... they would've gotten a ton of hate if they didn't
9. [+3] If they had continued on with it, everyone would be hating on them for partying while something so tragic happened in Itaewon... This is a good decision.

1. [+236] I understand it must've been hard to cancel something commercially important for them but I think it's still cool that they did. It was expected of them to, but still.
2. [+119] Ban all Halloween parties from now on!
3. [+61] I don't even want to see a thing about Halloween anymore. Anyone who participates in this holiday from today on, I will view you as someone out of your mind.
4. [+64] If only they had all shared space with each other... ㅜㅜㅜ
5. [+55] Wow, my heart is breaking. May they all rest in peace. I remember going a few years ago and seeing the crowds bursting everywhere with no security measures in sight. I kept thinking that people were going to get crushed. This is such an unfortunate and tragic accident.
6. [+116] Honestly, if you see dozens of ambulances rushing past you, the crowd should've known to back off... but they were singing 'S*x on the Beach' instead...
7. [+75] Everyone who was caught dancing in front of the ambulances should be arrested and tested for drugs
8. [+18] Do not blame the government. How is this the government's fault? They went there to party and acted without order. When accidents began to happen and ambulances were called, you saw all the people dancing and singing still, right? They are not human, tsk tsk. I feel bad for those who lost their lives and may they rest in peace 🙏
9. [+17] My hope in humanity today -100
10. [+4] And I hope this Halloween holiday disappears from our country forever

1. [+397, -28] This should be an opportunity to get rid of the culture of Halloween from our country. SM artists have participated in making the holiday as big as it has become here.
2. [+157, -2] Enough with pre-schools and elementary schools having Halloween parties as well.
3. [+102, -1] The whole reason Halloween became big in our country is because people wanted to be able to post about it on Instagram
4. [+17, -0] A lot of celebrities should be reflecting over this. Halloween was never a tradition celebrated by our culture. It's a quiet celebration by Western standards but we have suffered such a great loss by trying to partake in it. We should all learn from this and do better than to be so open to accepting another country's tradition without even being educated in our own.
5. [+15, -0] Halloween begins in our pre-schools and English academies... asking children to dress in costumes, bring a pumpkin.. enough is enough.
