Around 9:30, President Yoon Seok-yeol and his wife, Kim Kun-hee paid condolences.



The People's Power leadership, Prime Minister Han Duk-soo, Minister of Public Administration and Security Lee Sang-min, and National Police Commissioner Yoon Hee-geun also visited to pay tribute to the souls of the deceased.



Among the general mourners, there were also citizens who said it was unbelievable.



The incense burner will be open for six days from today until this Saturday, the government-determined period of national mourning.



The operating hours are from 8 am to 10 pm every day, and you can voluntarily pay condolences even after operating hours.



A joint incense burner will be set up in Itaewon's Noksapyeong Station Square from today, allowing mourning from 10:30 a.m.



As the victims come out across the country, joint incense places to commemorate the victims will be set up in 17 cities and provinces across the country, including Gyeonggi-do, Daegu, and Gangwon.
