There is also a joint memorial altar for victims near Muan Airport, where the plane disaster occurred.

The memorial procession of citizens continues on the second day since the memorial altar was established.

I'm connecting you with a field reporter. Reporter Oh Sun Yeol!

A lot of mourners are coming today, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, it is.

The joint memorial altar here was about a 10-minute drive from the accident site.

Mourning has been going on since early morning to honor the victims of the plane crash.

It's been two days since the memorial altar was set up.

Until yesterday, the joint memorial altar was allowed to pay condolences from 11 a.m.

Today, two hours early, we started receiving mourners from 9 a.m.

Mourners from all over the country couldn't hide their sorrow.

A memorial tablet for the identified victims was erected on the platform inside the memorial altar.

White chrysanthemum flowers are also full of altars.

Citizens prayed for the victims' souls and raised flowers of remembrance with silent tribute.

So far, more than 2,000 mourners have visited this place to commemorate the victims.

A large number of memorial processions were held at the memorial altar in religious groups and institutions, including ordinary mourners.

The joint memorial altar is a place where anyone who wants to pay their respects can visit and convey their condolences.

There are no bereaved families who came here yet, but there is also a memorial shuttle bus to and from the airport until 10 p.m.

At the same time, memorial visits are continuing in 17 cities and provinces across the country where incense burners have been set up, including Gwangju and Seoul.

So far, I'm Oh Sun-yeol of YTN at Muan Sports Park.
