Call of Duty maker under fire in South Korea for using images of Seoul disaster

In South Korea, there has been outrage over a scene in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 that appears to depict the tragic Halloween disaster in Seoul from 2022. Survivors of the incident are demanding the removal of the footage, which shows reanimation attempts and bodies on the street. The disaster resulted in 158 deaths due to crowd crush during Halloween celebrations. Activision Blizzard acknowledged using real news footage in the game but stated it was not their intention to trivialize the tragedy. The game follows a South Korean marine fighting against a North Korean invasion, and it has sparked political discussions in South Korea.
