A memorial altar was set up this morning, did many mourners visit?

[Reporter]
Yes, even in the cold weather, there is a mourning procession at the joint memorial altar here.

Citizens pay tribute to the souls of the victims with flowers and silent tribute.

Let's hear the story of the mourners who came out of sorrow.

[Kim Soo-gyeom / Anam-dong, Seoul: It's such a sad incident and it shouldn't have happened, but I think it's a terrible feeling that I can't say anything.]

[Jungmo / Mullae-dong, Seoul: I feel very sorry for such an accident during this difficult time. I hope the accident will be resolved quickly and the bereaved families will find stability.]

The joint altar, which opened at 8 a.m. this morning, will be open for five days until 10 p.m. on the 4th of next month.

As victims emerge nationwide, more than 20 joint memorial altar will be set up in 17 cities and provinces nationwide, including Osan City and Gwangju Metropolitan City in Gyeonggi Province.

Naver and Kakao are also participating in the mourning by creating online memorial spaces on their PC and mobile websites.

It's the last day of the year, and most of the festival events have been canceled, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, the government previously set the national mourning period until the 4th of next month.

Year-end and New Year's events are also canceled or reduced, so the New Year is expected to be celebrated in a calm atmosphere.

The Bell of the Night Bell, which will be held from 11 p.m. tonight to 1 a.m. tomorrow, will be solemnly held around the bell ceremony without a separate performance.

The Gwanghwamun countdown event also canceled the lighting performance and decided to screen only the video without sound, along with the expression of condolence.

In addition, sunrise events at sunrise spots across the country, such as Pohang Homigot and Inwangsan Mountain, will be canceled or held reverently without performances.
