Are mourners constantly coming to the airport memorial altar?

[Reporter]
Yes, even late at night, mourners are constantly walking.

The citizens lay flowers on the altar, pay silent tribute, and console 179 souls.

Three days after the accident, a joint memorial altar with the victim's memorial tablet and portrait was set up at Muan Airport.

Authorities set up an altar in a waiting room on the first floor of the airport in response to the bereaved family's request to set up an altar inside the airport.

The condolences were made from 7 p.m. this evening in the order of bereaved families and citizens.

The joint memorial altar here, like other memorial altars, will be open until January 4th next year, the 'National Love Period'.

The bereaved families also visited the memorial altar a lot?

[Reporter]
Yes, it is.

Most of the victims were bereaved families who could not leave the airport because the bodies and identities of the victims could be identified unexpectedly.

Previously, the joint memorial altar closest to Muan Airport was about 5km away, so there were many bereaved families who could not go.

Therefore, today's condolences began to be paid to the bereaved families first.

While the bereaved family's condolences continued for about an hour, the place was filled with cries.

Some mothers couldn't take their steps, calling out their children's names,
Some families were not confident of seeing their father up close, so they only watched portrait pictures and memorial tablets from a distance.

Authorities said they will continue to provide support, including running a psychological support group for bereaved families and running a 24-hour field clinic.
