South Korean singer and actor Lee Jihan was among the victims of a Halloween crowd crash in Seoul on Saturday night that has claimed more than 150 lives.

The growing crowd was concentrated in a narrow, steep alley in the Itaewon neighborhood of the South Korean capital.


It is about a neighborhood known for its night life, with witnesses and survivors who recalled a chaos "like hell" of people falling on each other "like dominoes".

A statement from the two agencies representing Lee paid tribute to the 24-year-old star, saying he was "a bright and genuine person who always smiled and greeted people with care".

Lee rose to fame on a South Korean TV talent show, Produce 101, before successfully transitioning into acting. /Telegraph/
