People's Power Representative Lee Jun-seok visited the burial place of Kim Dong-sik, head of the rescue team of the 119th Rescue Team of the Gyeonggi Gwangju Fire Station, who died in a fire at the Coupang Logistics Center in Icheon, Gyeonggi-do.
In the guestbook, CEO Lee wrote, "Fighting Commander Kim Dong-shik, please rest and rest in peace. We will do our best to make the Republic of Korea safer."
After a conversation with Lee Sang-gyu, head of the Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters, about the fire, he said, "It may be necessary to apply strengthened firefighting standards due to the increasing number of warehouses in Gyeonggi-do." If we don't have enough firefighting power to mobilize, wouldn't it be right to go in the direction we don't do it?" he said.
CEO Lee also said, "I think Coupang is a company with a significant social responsibility," and emphasized that Coupang's response to the fire should also be looked into.
