As many as seven tenants were killed and 11 others injured early this morning when a blaze ripped through a three-storey studio complex in Seoul in South Korea, fire authorities said.
The dead and injured were mostly casual labourers or street vendors living in the dilapidated building, Yonhap news agency said.
While South Korea is technologically advanced and has risen to become the world’s 11th-largest economy, many people who have missed out on its progress struggle to get by.
