Mr. Lee's 27-year-old son in his 50s did not come home last night either.



The son, who stopped by Itaewon for dinner, could not be reached, and his son's cell phone was at the police station.



[Bereaved Family: I went to dinner, but coincidentally, Halloween Day overlapped.

My son didn't come, so I called, and the phone was held as a lost property at the police station.

Yongsan Police Station.

That's why I found out that he was missing.]



Even though he was separated from his family, he lived right next to his parents' house and helped his father with his work.



[Bereaved Family: Because he is a son whom he loves so much, he is so shocked that he does not have the energy to speak.

We are going to move the body of our son to our hometown.]



Mr. Kim in his 50s also lost his 26-year-old daughter in this disaster.



She was a daughter who took good care of her parents, even making reservations for a fine dining restaurant to commemorate her father's birthday the day before.



[Bereaved Family: My daughter is good, but she introduced me so I made a reservation for dinner yesterday and made all the calculations.

So (my wife and I) came back together, but the days to come are a problem.

One side of the room is my daughter's space...

'You've worked hard for raising me.

'I'll pay you back' was her daughter's last text.



[Bereaved Family: I kept calling.

wife.

It's the first time something like this has happened to me, so I'm very upset.

I am also responsible for not being able to prevent that in advance, as a father.]



Father A who would not have sent him to Itaewon if he had known it would be like this.



Mr. A received a call that his daughter was in the emergency room only at 1 am, but the time of death confirmed by the police today was around 10:30 pm.



She said the only question remained was whether she could not have been rescued sooner or if she could not have seen the body any sooner.



The grief of the families who lost their sons and daughters in an accident that no one expected is growing.
