IT looked like just another busy day in Gangnam, Seoul’s well-known affluent district, last Wednesday, except for the piles of white flowers and Post-it notes covering the walls near exit 10 of Gangnam Station.

There were also people – many of them young women – looking visibly shocked and grief-stricken, with their eyes glued to the pastel-coloured Post-its filled with heartbreaking messages.
