Merchants near the site also suffered damage in the Gwangju apartment collapse. The shop was destroyed in the rubble of the collapsed building, and deals were cut off, but as those responsible for the accident did not take active measures, the victims and the families of the missing people are even feeling sorry for each other at the scene.
Reporter Shin Jeong-eun covered it.

It is a three-story shopping mall right next to the collapsed apartment in Gwangju.
There is a stationery store and a flower wholesale shop, but the wreckage of the collapsed building swept over the mall.
This is the original glass window, but it was all broken and was temporarily blocked with a tent to prevent wind and dust.
And if you go inside a little bit more, you can see that a lump of cement that is so heavy that it cannot be lifted properly is even inside the stationery store.
[Gukgyeong-ri/Nearby merchant: I can't sell everything. Who would buy something like this in the new semester? If you were a journalist, would
you come to buy me because I was scared?]
The customers who used to buy things are also disappearing one by one.
[Sun Moon-gyu/Nearby merchant: You say, by any chance, when will it be possible? I'm really worried that I'll go somewhere else.]
Thinking about the countless complaints about a problem at the construction site, I get angry.
[Lee Yong-seop / Gwangju Mayor: Since the supervisory authority is the ward office, I checked later and there was no complaint with the city.
If public officials are at fault, there is no tolerance...

The search is getting longer, and it's hard to see the person taking full responsibility for the accident.
[Hong Seok-sun/Chairman of Sangga Autonomy: The most heartbreaking thing is that the representative of the family of the missing person said he was sorry to me.
Because you think that we are suffering this kind of damage because of them.] I am
heartbroken at the reality of the merchants whose livelihoods have been ruined and the families of the missing persons, whose life or death is unknown, comforting each other.
[Mr. Ahn / Representative of the victim's family: We are the ones who should be sorry for each other, 'I'm sorry' to each other, and 'I'm sorry' to each other, aren't we?
We don't want their voices to be buried.
They are the same victims.]
