All the people who are watching this tragedy are going through a difficult time, but it will not be as much as the weight of sadness that the bereaved families are carrying.
Experts advise that the more we comfort each other in times like these, the more we can help to recover from our current sadness and trauma.
We listened to the feelings of a bereaved family who sent their second daughter in despair with the consent of the bereaved family in hopes that our society could share and sympathize with the grief of the bereaved family a little more.

Her daughter and the second daughter who became her closest friend.
On the day of the Itaewon disaster, the daughter, who went to Itaewon for a meeting with her friends, never returned to her family.
[Jeong Hae-bok / Uncle: Because I told his parents that I was going to a friends meeting in Itaewon, so I went.
He didn't answer the phone, so I didn't think it was such a disaster at the time, and he probably couldn't hear it because of the vibration...

Upon hearing the news of the accident, the parents rushed to the Hamilton Hotel with concern, but their daughter, who had always been kind to her phone calls and messages, could not be reached.
It was at a funeral home in Gyeonggi-do where the parents who went to the accident site and the missing person reception desk eventually found their daughter.
Messages such as "I can't call my second daughter", "I wonder if she is in Itaewon" and "My father is near the Hamilton Hotel" remain unread on my father's Kakao Talk.
[Jeong Hae-bok / Uncle: When you come to visit, it's like 'Big Daddy, please give me some more because I'm grown up'.
That's difficult.
He was a nephew that I really liked.] He
went to study abroad for a short time and was good at foreign languages, so he was also in charge of trading at his father's company.
He was nurturing his dream of being independent and running a cafe, when he had an accident.
Even the friends who were in Itaewon together cannot be confirmed alive or dead.
The bereaved family is checking if it is safe by contacting their friends one by one using the daughter's cell phone received from the Yongsan Police Station yesterday.
The remaining wish of the bereaved family is to ensure that this never happens again.
[Jeong Hae-bok / Uncle: These young people, many people had such an accident in a certain place, and I hope that the system will be supplemented with a certain number of people per certain area (such as entering) so that this does not happen again.]
