It is the first time for a government agency to recognize human rights violations in past overseas adoptions and acknowledge the state’s responsibility.

Oct. 29 marked two years of the Itaewon tragedy, but for the families, survivors, and witnesses, the story is still unfolding.

Last week on Oct. 29 marked two years of the Itaewon tragedy.

Seoul Police Chief and Yongsan District Office Chief were acquitted, while only Yongsan Police Station Chief was found guilty.

Recently, the Special Investigation Committee on the Itaewon Tragedy was launched to uncover remaining truth behind the tragedy. What challenges lie ahead for the committee, and what do the survivors and victims really want?
