Good call!!! Cancel this day forever and be blessed by God!!!

I send my condolences to the families and country.😭

🙏🏼🥹

Thanks and respect to SMTOWNGLOBAL

I stan the right groups

celebrate the holiday of the devil and death is what you get. it is a fact. satan is death. anything related to satan, the devil, is evil and results to death. do not ever try him. he is happily waiting for our souls. pray for those who are left behind. Itaewon

It’s sad I was excited but the only right thing to do in that situation

Good decision. They did one just last year so all good

I was very excited for this party and to see the costumes they would have this year, but when I found out about the tragedy I won't lie that I felt discouraged all day, so a good decision on SM's part, out of respect for the victims, their families and friends.

gagal deh liat aespa nge cosplay😌

What a pity!

__ekleona They have to,it's crazy!It's so sad

yay

Ridiculous Country, entertainment to death

Alooo

Good decision. My heart goes out to the families who lost their loved ones.

mass asphyxiation on such a scale... at a loss for words. to the families of those who lost their loved ones in itaewon tonight & to the lives who were injured escaping the festivities, i send my sincerest condolences. you are All in the world's prayers tonight. PrayforItaewon

What happened in Itaewon is not a freaking joke and I've seen articles that some are still continuing the party?! Like what the! I'm getting goosebumps.

good decision

Man people are heartless in these comments, SM did the right thing, no one should feel like celebrating after this

I expected it and it’s also the right decision.

I was a little excited for this but they did the right thing. I can’t believe the crowd I’m seeing through those videos 🥺 My thoughts and prayers to the families affected by Itaewon Tragedy.

Yes, good decision.

🤝👏

Awe but we understand cause that tragedy is heartbreaking so many lives loss 😔

Most likely a lot of korean show specially live/event show might be canceled

W SM and my thoughts are with those families who lost their ones there! Also, I wish a speedy recovery for those who got injured there!

WISE DECISION.

SM kalian melakukan hal yg benar

that's very responsible

Respect 🙏🏼

Sial apakah nanti tahun depan SM bisa Adain acara ini lagi? Takut tidak akan pernah melihat acara ini😭😭😭😭

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

suprisingly they made a good decision

sparklepinkish di cancel dy

Isnt this the same celebrations they show in Itaewon Class? Wow i never thought the fun event could be this dangerous. 😭 deep condolences for every victim..

very good decision sm it's a tragedy so better not do this halloween party

A good decision indeed

although this is unfortunate, whats even more unfortunate is the 146 people (and counting) who have lost their lives in itaewon. my hearts go out to their families

Thank God. This is awful Prayers for the victims and their families 😭

very understandable

IslandbyNJ

jadasokpopp That’s really understandable tbh, it’s devastating what happened

🙏❤️

Prayers for those who lost their lives.

Respect.

Wow, this is a very classy move. Thank you, SM.

As expected, such tragedy😞 Was waiting for the official announcement ever since hearing about this, there are no other alternative, just so sad.

YAAAHHHH💔💔💔💔💔

for all we know some of our idols could've lost someone tonight, or someone special to them could've gotten injured

Man this is sad, prayers goes out to the victim and their family 🙏🏼

Good decision, I am so sorry for everyone who was involved in the stampede, and I hope they rest in peace those who sadly passed :(

😢💔💔💔💔💔

They didn't even hesitate, they did the right thing

This is needed....after watching people who are dead , rushing ambulance and specially people who were alive and couldn't be out because of tightness in area is justs scaryy. People giving you hand's to pull you out but can't be pulled out... that's so horrifying

Canceling it is the right thing to do

It couldn't be otherwise!!! All those young people, so sad!

Respect. My heart goes out to the bereaved and those who were injured🙏🏾

It was obvious they would... Horrible what happened...

can someone explain what happened im confused

They did the right thing

For once in a while, SM made a smart decision out of respect of those who died and were injured, especially since the majority of the deceased were young adults. Prayers to South Korea. 😭🙏🏼

this was such a right decision to do, thank you sm

Good decision.

That's really nice of them

Praying for all the families 🥲

Condolences🙏🏻

Right decision tbh after what happened

What happened is terrible

The first of long list...praying and condolence to the vicitm's familys

Great decision by SM, such an awful tragedy 😔

bummer

I'm glad they did this. It's such a horrible tragedy
