SEOUL (Reuters) -One year after Park Young-soo lost her only son in a Halloween weekend crowd crush that killed 159 people in the South Korean capital, she still can’t bring herself to open the door to his room.

She says she may not be able to move on with her life until she sees some kind of accountability from the government.
