1. [+673, -58] People think places with white chrysanthemums are cursed... why would anyone want to hang out at someone's place of mourning?

3. [+54, -3] 158 people died in one location, people are probably too scared to go back

4. [+48, -6] I'm sure some feel that it's not appropriate to hang out there since everyone's forcing each other to mourn over this... the other streets are plenty bustling~~

5. [+42, -51] Who would want to eat and drink where 158 people were crushed to death?

6. [+38, -1] If people start going back there to drink and hang out, the news is going to go on about how people are already forgetting about the tragedy, how stupid they are for moving already ㅋㅋ no one wants to go back right now..

7. [+33, -2] With how many lives were lost regretfully, I'd be too scared to go back

8. [+33, -5] That place is full of regretful souls... I don't think I could sit around laughing and having fun..

9. [+25, -0] I bet people aren't going because they can't post about it on SNS anyway

10. [+21, -1] Christmas is coming up~ people will be bustling in Shinchon and Hongdae like nothing happened

11. [+18, -1] That street is filled with chrysanthemum flowers, post-its that are thrown away alongside trash right at the entrance, who would want to hang out there?

12. [+17, -2] It will forever be remembered as the street of lost young souls

13. [+14, -1] It's full of ghosts, I couldn't go

14. [+13, -1] It's over for the businesses on that alley. Who would go? I'd feel so uncomfortable. 

15. [+13, -0] Who would want to hang out there? It feels so eerie..

16. [+13, -1] It'd be like asking people to drink and party over a cemetery

17. [+11, -1] I'd never go, not that I ever did

18. [+11, -2] And if people did go back to drink and eat there, everyone would be making a fuss about it too ㅋㅋㅋ

19. [+11, -1] It will be difficult to go back for a while... especially with how eerie it is with how many died. You can't just laugh and drink at a place like that.

20. [+11, -0] You'd have to be a psychopath to think it's appropriate to laugh, dance, and drink at a place like that... my heart wouldn't allow it!!
