The bereaved families of the Muan Jeju Air disaster criticized the government authorities, saying, "Unlike the government promised, the victims' remains are being neglected."

Park Han-shin, head of the bereaved family council of the Jeju Air plane disaster, held a briefing at Muan International Airport on the afternoon of the 30th and criticized the government authorities, saying, "The government promised to install freezers and freezers to manage the remains, but the installation was delayed and the remains were left on the floor of the hangar."

Park said, "The staff accompanied by the deputy prime minister reported that the freezer installation was going well, but this was not true," claiming that government officials continued to lie to appease the bereaved families.

In addition, he added, "The government's attitude is disappointing, although the victims should be treated until the end."

Regarding the future funeral schedule, the bereaved family council said, "The Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has promised to hand over the bodies of 90 victims to the bereaved families by tomorrow," and that after the handover, the bereaved families and authorities will proceed with the funeral through a confirmation process.

As of 7 p.m., authorities completed identification and medical examinations of three of the 179 victims, and transported some bodies to the funeral home.

However, the body damage is serious, and the medical examination and examination process are expected to be prolonged.

So far, 165 people have been identified, and 14 are being identified through DNA testing.

The police urgently requested the National Forensic Service to conduct genetic evaluation of a total of 69 people, including 35 victims and 34 control samples.

The bereaved families are calling for the government's swift and thorough response and calling for the victims' last path to be done with dignity.
