The bereaved family, who lost their parents in the Jeju Air plane disaster at Muan Airport in Jeollanam-do, appealed, "We are not bugs that save the country's money," as malicious comments continued on the accident compensation.

Park Geun-woo, a college student, posted a lengthy post on his Facebook page on the 11th, saying, "I lost my beloved mother and father in this Jeju Air disaster."

Park wrote, "I also wondered whether I should make a will because a bird got stuck in my wings and couldn't land," adding, "As soon as I heard the news like a bolt from the blue, I ran to Muan in 30 minutes."

"I was able to see my mom on the 30th (December) and my dad again on the 31st," he said. "After looking for my beloved mom and dad, I could see the surroundings only then. Firefighters, police officers, civil servants, volunteers, and the delegation of the bereaved families association who worked hard in this severe winter were all grateful," he said.

He also complained of the pain of malicious comments running on the bereaved family. "We are not bugs that save money," Park said. "When the article came up that 3 million won of emergency living expenses came in through fundraising, there were a lot of malicious comments, and every single comment is a huge wound to us."

"Until yesterday, I talked to a tax accountant for the first time in my life to clean up my parents' business, cut off the tax invoice, found out about the preparation for closure, and drove back and forth for more than 100 kilometers in Gwangju alone," he said. "I've become an orphan, but I've never been sad yet." I think I'll be crushed to death by worry in the future. I want to run away somewhere. "If I want to make a living, I have to go out and make money right now," he said.

Then, he said, "Why do you think I'm in Muan? He added, "I'm afraid that the deaths of my precious people I lost will be an unfair death because I don't like it and I'm afraid of it, so my bereaved families are out in Muan."

Park said, "In the future, the issue will increase and decrease due to the transfer of responsibilities between various actors, the spoons of political circles, and the four blame battles, and the bereaved families will suffer and suffer," adding, "Your attention can save or kill us." Please don't forget the Muan Airport and the plane disaster until this accident is all over. That way, we can live well with the citizens again by burying all this sadness and disappointment on one side of our hearts," he appealed.
