The photos show an elderly woman pocketing onions which spilled from an onion truck that was overturned from an accident.


The person who uploaded the photos explained, "Back on August 9 around 2 p.m., a truck loaded with onions driving down the Central Region Highway hit a divider, resulting in an accident. There were onions everywhere. But there were people who tried to pick up the fallen onions, completely disregarding the upturned truck sitting in the middle of the road. I felt grieved watching people enthusiastically picking up the onions instead of helping."


The netizens who came across the photos left resentful comments such as, "When Sampoong Department Store collapsed, there were people who were picking up clothes," "Things haven't changed," and criticized, "As a Korean citizen, I'm deeply embarrassed."


The photos have since been viewed over 97,000 times and is causing a heated debate among netizens.
