The identities of the victims were all confirmed through detailed DNA testing.

The bereaved families visited the scene of the accident?
[Reporter]
Yes, the place you see behind is the scene of the accident.
The bereaved families traveled to the scene of the accident by bus at 11 a.m., about an hour ago.
The bereaved families set up a simple table here with rice cake soup and hold a summary ceremony.
The bereaved families could also be seen sitting down or sobbing.
Police and fire authorities will resume the process of recovering the victims' belongings and damaged bodies as soon as they finish visiting the site.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is continuing its investigation into the cause of the aircraft's landing gear not working, leaving all possibilities open.
We are determining whether there was a defect in the device itself, the possibility of shutting down the aircraft, and whether both engines failed.
In addition, we are continuing to analyze the plane's black box to determine the exact cause of the disaster.
Yesterday, a joint investigation team involving U.S. experts toured the site to see if there was any data left to reveal the wreckage and cause of the accident.

All the victims have been identified?
[Reporter]
Yes, it is.
All four victims, who have not been identified, have been identified.
All 179 victims of the accident were identified on the fourth day of the disaster.
The additional identified victims were identified through a detailed DNA test.
As recently as yesterday afternoon, there were a total of five unconfirmed victims.
The police took additional DNA from the bereaved family and conducted a thorough DNA test to identify one person late last night, and identified all the victims left in the early morning hours.
Police said today that they will take measures to allow bereaved families to take over the 50 victims who have been identified and identified.
Let's listen to it for ourselves.

However, the impact of the accident is so great that there are still many bodies scattered at the scene.
As all the scattered bodies need to be recovered, it will take a considerable amount of time to deliver the bodies of the victims as intact as possible to the bereaved families.
The total number of victims whose bodies were delivered to the bereaved families was 11, most of whom are having funerals or undergoing procedures.
So far, I'm Kim Ki-soo from YTN at the Muan International Airport accident site.
