When the period of national mourning was over, the opposition party ignited the theory of blaming the person responsible for the disaster.

Beyond the president's official apology, they demanded personnel measures such as the dismissal of Minister of the Interior and Safety Lee Sang-min and Commissioner Yoon Hee-geun of the National Police Agency.

Fire the Prime Minister, and fire the Minister of Public Administration and Security, the Commissioner of the National Police Agency, and the Commissioner of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency!]

The Presidential Office did not make any separate comments regarding personnel measures, other than a written briefing stating that "we will deal with the disaster with a low attitude and a heavy heart."

Although there was a prospect that President Yoon Seok-yeol would make official statements, etc., he did not take any action other than attending the memorial mass held at Myeongdong Cathedral.

The presidential office is a trend that puts the truth through investigation first.

A high-ranking official said he was fully aware of the angry public sentiment and also acknowledged that Minister Lee Sang-min caused controversy by remarks that were out of line with the public sentiment in the early days.

As for follow-up measures, he added that a massive fire is rather easy and simple, and that personnel without measures are irresponsible measures that do not help solve the accident.

As Minister Lee Sang-min is not in charge of public security, it is said that the scope of personnel reporting must be decided at least until the investigation results of the Itaewon Disaster Special Investigation Headquarters are ongoing.

However, considering the fact that the minister also assumes political responsibility and that voices within the ruling party that the resignation of the minister are inevitable if the situation is to be dealt with early, the burden builds up on the passport and the entire government as President Yoon's decision is delayed. The prospect to go.
