These were the statements Channel A got from a person who was in Itaewon when it happened.
I'm attaching a video link and pictures below. 

[Explanation for the pictures]

The caption was talking about the person who raised their hand to conduct the whole thing.
There wasn't only one person who raised their hand to conduct. Several other people were also seen doing the same thing in the video. (The movements are different according to the signs these people send)

From this, you can see that the Itaewon tragedy was planned and carried out by a group of people.
Itaewon has always been that crowded during the Halloween season every year, I'm saying this from my experience visiting Itaewon a few years ago. But I have never seen anyone planning and pushing people on purpose like that. 
The strange thing is that there was a protest against the Democratic Party that happened near the alley right on the day Itaewon was crowded with people celebrating Halloween (It was even more crowded because of the group of people protesting). 
It's also very suspicious that after the accident was reported on the news, there were more posts and comments criticizing the government and the president instead of expressing griefs and mourning for the victims of the accident.

'Let's push from this side to that direction'




'Hand open means no pushing'

'Hands closed in a fist = people started getting pushed again'

1. [+192][-27] There were pictures of people with these face masks and wood flute were holding bottles of Costco Avocado Oil with them. When I heard on the news that the slope was sloppy because of alcohol and water, and I thought to myself, "Why is there alcohol and water on the street?". If it turns out that it was actually oil that was poured by these guys, I'd get goosebumps...

2. [+185][-50] According to MBC's reports, there were people from the National Federation of Democratic Trade Unions (2 of them died) and mafias from Sungnam deployed at that scene. There are witnesses and evidences saying that the police officers who were appointed by Moon Jae-in only stood by and didn't do anything when those people with face masks poured the oil on purpose to make the street slippery. The police are now investigating their fellow police since the prosecutions can no longer investigate this tragedy because the inspection is over. Was this all done to protect Lee Jae-myung? This is just my personal opinion. 

3. [+184][-138] That's right. I don't know why people are blaming the government, there were not enough police there because they were all at the protests. 

4. [+136][-44] Those sticks they used to conduct look really suspicious. I think they used it to order people which direction to push. This is getting me goosebumps. 

5. [+77][-5] That's very random of them to bring a bottle of oil everywhere they go. Not to mention that those bottles were open??




The Itaewon tragedy was not an accident, it was a terror

 Hello.

We made this post to thank all the fans who have always loved and supported us and also to speak up about the current situation. 

Due to pressure from Spire Entertainment, we have already signed a contract and agreed that 'If we post on SNS without any discussion with the company, we should take both civil and criminal legal responsibility'. We ask for your understanding, because even though we want to communicate with fans as soon as possible, we still have to be cautious until we figure out our position in Spire Entertainment. 

Although there were happy times since we started our activities as a group, we also went through some hard times. As our suffering was recently shared for the whole world to see, we are concerned that everything we have accomplished so far will disappear like foams. Right now, we have decided to put our fear behind us and gather up some courage. 

This group was a second chance for the eleven of us, who have gone through difficult times and did not give up on making our dreams come true. 

The reason why we did not give up and were able to take on a new challenge is the fans who are waiting and supporting us. Thanks to our fans, we were able to endure these past 2 years. There were days that we got poor treatment from our company to the point that it made us want to cry, but then we would remember the chants and supportive messages from our fans. That was the only thing that gave us the strength to endure. 

We plan to follow our dreams until the end, just like now. We will be back on stage with good music and performance. The most precious things in this world to us are the eleven of us who have the same goals and fans who we share the same dreams with and we never want to lose them again.  

We would like to apologize for the delay in providing this update, causing people to worry and wait. Thank you for reading the sincerity that we have gathered up the courage to write.

Thank you.
OX.

I'm worried because they have signed contract and agreed that they have to take both civil and legal responsibility to everything that they post without any discussions with the company.

Isn't this crazy?

Looks like they can't use their official account, judging by how they created a new account to post this...

theqoo

-It's really terrifying to think that this still happens in 2022...

-Did they leave their company?

-I will be rooting for you. I hope they can be back on stage with good feelings. I wish them all the happiness in this world. 

-I feel really bad for them. I hope this case will be solved as soon as possible. 

-Does that mean they're still going to continue working for that company?

-Does that mean they're moving out from that company?? Are they going to continue promoting as Omega X??

-I'm not a fan, but I keep thinking of them and worried for them... I hope they can solve this case as soon as possible.

-This is really upsetting...

-Judging by how it took them awhile to update their fans, it looks like they already consulted with their lawyers. I'm rooting for them. 

-I'm not a fan, but this letter really breaks my heart...

-That means they were silenced because of the contract...

-I'm not a fan, but that picture brings tears to my eyes... Hang in there, guys...

Omega X, the group who was assaulted by their CEO, recently released their statement letter.

 A Journey and Daisy for me

-I totally agree with Daisyㅠㅠ

-The Ark's Light...

 I stumbled across a video of Kim Chaewon during IZONE era on Youtube reels. People are saying that she looked so much more beautiful when she was in IZONE, but I just can't relate. I'm not saying that IZONE flopped, but Kim Chaewon's style when she was in IZONE was the typical style that at least one member in flop groups have. Don't you think she looks so f*cking good right now? She looks unique and has turned into a stan-attractor now...

1. [+114][-4] IZONE Kim Chaewon suits the style that fanboys prefer and LESSERAFIM Kim Chaewon suits the style that fangirls prefer. 

2. [+54][-3] What... She was an adorable girl who always gets praises for her pretty looks back in IZONE. She looks more trendy now. 

3. [+41][-3] She was the 'cute girl'...? And I personally really liked that style

4. [+36][-1] I have the same thoughts. I think she looks prettier and more unique now. 

5. [+24][-0] I'm a fangirl, but I honestly prefer her IZONE style more...

Was Kim Chaewon during IZONE era that pretty?



 Facebook page 'Idol Lab' has been gaining different reactions after the real owner behind the page was revealed. 'Idol Lab' is an online media that post everything related to K-pop and has the largest number of followers (1.32M) in this field. Kpop fans all over the world are following this media because they review the debut and comeback of idol groups in real-time. 

The controversy started when Kakao Ent. is revealed to be the real owner behind this page, they are also under fire for their 'Reverse Viral Marketing' strategy. Viral marketing is an advertising method that allows people to naturally obtain information through SNS. On the other hand, Reverse Viral marketing is an advertising method that intentionally bad-talks about their specific competitor to create rumors. Fans feel something suspicious, saying, "Idol Lab has been posting positive content about idols and celebrities who are under Kakao Ent. On the other side, they post un-favorable content about idols who are from other companies."

The controversy about 'Reverse Viral Marketing' started as Idol Lab was under fire over copyright infringement. Idol Lab often posts on Facebook without crediting the source. They also deleted the logo of other media and claim that their articles were exclusive. This is when it was revealed that Kakao Ent. is the owner of Idol Lab.

Fans claim, "Kakao Ent., through Idol Lab, has been ruining the image of their competitors by posting unfavorable content about them." For example: 'LE SSERAFIM's new style gets divided opinions', 'ITZY's outfits for their comeback get divided opinions' etc. They use titles that make it sound like there was a controversy among fans about the idols' outfits or new songs. But when you click on the article, you won't find any explanation about the controversy. Lately, there has been some unfavorable content of NewJeans (ADOR), NMIXX (JYP), etc, posted on their page. On the opposite, they always post favorable content about artists from Starship Ent., IST Ent, etc. 

It turns out that Kakao took over Idol Lab around 2-3 years ago for their content marketing and the page has been managed by Kakao Ent. Marketing Team since then. An online media reporter says, "They are taking over influential Facebook pages to promote their own artists. Reporters know that Idol Lab was originally run by an individual. However, after an entertainment company took over the page, the page often posts 'Reverse Viral Marketing' posts that could cause problems." Kakao Ent. responds by saying, "The posts in Idol Lab are posted and managed by an outsource agency. We didn't have any intentions to do the 'Reverse Viral Marketing'"

1. [+122][-9] But their idol groups are the ones who get all the hate. The scary truth is that it's always the victims who get all the harmsㄷㄷ

2. [+98][-93] What do you mean? Fans are not defending that company. Fans hate Starship a lot for not taking f*cking legal actions to protect their artists. They're saying that he only thing Starship is good at is picking songs for their artists. Besides that, there's literally nothing that they can do properlyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Please don't drag the fans into this

3. [+82][-82] I'm a fan of that group, but I think Kakao is at fault for using that strategy. Both fans and IVE know nothing about this. There's nothing we can do, it's something that was run by the companies. I just hope they would apologize to all idols they have bad-mouthed about for their own benefit. I'm sure IVE wouldn't want their group to be promoted in such a disgusting way. 

4. [+78][-47] I hope they'll manage that page more wisely from now on. There are a lot of controversies already, it's really frustrating because it's like they're pouring gas on the fire. It's not like fans ask them to promote their idols that way. All we want is for them to take legal action to protect their artists and take good care of them, that's all. Why are they doing all these useless things? I just hope they would stop with the Reverse Viral Marketing whatsoever. 

5. [+74][-2] Look at the best commentㅋㅋㅋ This news made it to Chosun Ilbo. It's legendary how they're dragging idols into this. 

Praising 'IVE' and dragging 'LE SSERAFIM', we know the reasons now

Rather than 'identity member', I think it's more like 'the member you think of when you hear the group'. These polls are just for fun, so please don't be too serious!

LE SSERAFIM

STAYC

ITZY


Yeji

IVE

Kim Chaehyun

(G)I-DLE

Soyeon

NMIXX

Sullyoon

theqoo

-Whoa, those 3 members from NMIXX got a similar amount of votes...

-(G)I-DLE is 4 Gen? Does that mean Gen 4 starts in 2018?

-Hul... I agree with most of the votes except I think it's Kazuha for LE SSERAFIM and Xiaoting for Kep1er

-LE SSERAFIM is kinda unexpected. People on Youtube always talk about how Yunjin is the face of the group.

-I personally think Ryujin is the face of ITZY

-It fascinates me how NMIXX gets divided opinions because I only know Sullyoonㄷㄷ I can relate to most of the polls besides that.

-I personally think Huh Yunjin is the face of LE SSERAFIM

-I'd choose Sieun for STAYC and Haewon for NMIXX

-The first member who pops up in my head when 'LE SSERAFIM' is mentioned is Sakura...

-It's either the prettiest or the most popular member in the group...

-Akgaes are throwing punches in the air after seeing this postㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Female dominated sites vote the member who is the identity of each groups from Gen 4

 

FROM FAN: You haven't posted anything in more than 7 days. Please check the messages from your fans who miss you.

+Explanation to prevent misunderstandings:


The idol who posted that notification from Bubble didn't post anything for 7 days to mourn for the Itaewon tragedy. They took a screen capture and posted it because they found it fascinating. Even when they didn't post anything, they still check their Bubbles to see the messages had sent for them. They also keep fans updated through their Status messages! I'm writing this in advance to prevent misunderstandings~~

theqoo

-Someone had already posted about that notification a long ago. I'm sure a lot of people already knows about this.

-I hope my bias would never sign up for Bubble. They're really good at communicating with fans, but I think I'd hate it if they signed up for Bubble

-Do singers have the choice to sign up for paid applications like Bubble? Or are they forced by their companies?

-If I were a celebrity and see that notification on my Bubble, I'd probably send fans a simple greeting right away.

-They should be getting notifications like that. They get money from sending messages, so they should do their job.

-Why did they sign up for Bubble if they're not going to send messages...

-It has been 283 days since the last time my idol posted something on Bubbleㅎㅎ Almost 1 year now! They should just terminate their service at this pointㅜㅜ

-Oh... Now that I think about it, it has been 2 weeks since the last time my idol posted on Bubble...

-My bias did not post anything on Bubble for 1,5 month because they were busy preparing for comeback...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ And the fans can't get any refundsㅎ

-Oh... This is fascinating...

What happens when celebrities don't post Bubbles for a week

Her eyes are really sparkly

instiz

-What?? When did she make an appearance in Dream High?

-Park Eunbin starred in Dream High????

-I searched it on Youtube and she played as Go Hyesung, she made an appearance in the last episode.

-What?? I have watched Dream High for at least 5 times... Why didn't I know about this?

-Suzy's little sister??

-Hul... I thought she was Park Minyoung in the second gif...

-She played the role of Suzy's little sister, but she's actually older than Suzy in real lifeㅋㅋㅋ

-Hul... That was Park Eunbin??? Unbelievable...

-The reason why most of you don't remember her in Dream High is because she only made appearance in the last episode for 10 secondsㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-She made a special appearance in the last episode as Suzy's little sister!! I used to think she was really beautiful back thenㅋㅋㅋ

Anyone wants to see Park Eunbin's face in Dream High? She looks so pretty

 Because of his looks and popularity...

instiz

-I think he gets endless offers...

-Honestly, I'm not a fan of Cha Eunwoo. He's also not my type. However, regardless of his acting skills, I always end up watching dramas that he stars in. I think I have watched all of the dramas he starred in with no exceptions. And I will continue to do so in the future...

-People always talk about his acting skills, but he still gets offers to star in various dramas...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I personally hope he'd quit being an idol and start focusing on his career as an actor

-Because Eunwoo is... Eunwoo...

-I know right. I think so, too. You just can't help but watch the dramas he stars in because he has a charming face, even if he's not a great actor. 

-I'm one of those people who will watch anything that Eunwoo stars in^^

-Eunwoo is a great actor. He has improved a lot, judging from his latest drama

-I'm not surprised. His face brings happiness just by looking at itㅋㅋㅋㅋ I hope he'll improve his acting skills so viewers can bear watching his dramas...

-I really like Eunwoo, but I still can't watch the dramas he stars in...

-I mean... His face is fun to look at...

I think Cha Eunwoo gets a lot of offers to star in dramas and movies
