Yes, I am now at Ansan Culture Plaza, where the Sewol Ferry 8th Anniversary Cultural Festival is being held.
This is the place where Ansan citizens lit candles for 67 days to pray for the safe return of Danwon High School students at the time of the disaster. Now, a choir of 300 citizens and actors are conducting musical performances.
It shows the 67 days spent by citizens and their families with candles at the time. Citizens have been visiting since the first event on the eve of making yellow ribbon-shaped coasters.

able to see the bereaved families expressing their gratitude to the citizens.
