A domestic clothing company was met with criticism from public opinion when it sold T-shirts with photos of the collapse of the Sampoong Department Store.
A large black-and-white photo is printed on the front of the black sweatshirt.
This is a picture of the entire building collapsed at the time of the Sampoong Department Store disaster in 1995.
The collapse of the Sampoong Department Store is considered to be the largest disaster since liberation, with 502 deaths.
The company explained that it was a product made with the theme of insensitivity to safety and that it was released with the purpose of not forgetting the unfortunate accident, but netizens strongly criticized it with reactions like 'using other people's pain as a means of earning money' and 'killing the victim twice' .
In addition, he pointed out that the English word 'crumble', which means to collapse or collapse, was included in the product name, and did not appear to be a warning about the Sampoong disaster.
As public criticism grew stronger, the company issued an apology and announced that it would stop selling the product at all sales outlets and deliver all sales of the product to the bereaved families who suffered.
