In 2023, Seoul grappled with back-to-back stabbing attacks. In July, a man attacked commuters in the subway, killing one person and injuring three.
Speaking to police, the attacker told them that he wishes to make everyone as "miserable" as him.
A month after this attack, 14 people were injured in Seongam after a man rammed his car into pedestrians near a subway stop. The attacker then went inside a department store and stabbed nine people, killing one.
