From the morning of the 31st, a joint incense burner has been set up in Seoul Plaza for the victims of the Itaewon disaster.

Let's go to Seoul Plaza.



Reporter Bo-mi Kim, how do you feel about the incense burner?



<Reporter>



Yes, there is a joint incense burner to commemorate the victims of the Itaewon disaster in Seoul Plaza, which you can see behind me.



Since 10 a.m., when the mourning began, citizens have continued to visit the condolences.



Before the general mourning began, around 9:30 am, President Yoon Seok-yeol and his wife, Kim Kun-hee paid condolences.



After that, the People's Power leadership, Prime Minister Han Deok-soo, and National Police Commissioner Yoon Hee-geun visited in the morning, while Foreign Minister Park Jin and Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon also visited in the afternoon to pay tribute to the deceased.



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



[Song Yeo-jin: It's so sad that it's such a bad thing in the same age group, and it's not because they're the people who caused the accident, but because I think I can suffer too, so my heart aches.

Please go to a nice place.]



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



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 was also set up in the square of Noksapyeong Station in Itaewon Station, and mourning continues from 10:30 am today.



In addition to Yongsan-gu, where the accident occurred, joint incense burners are also operated in 25 autonomous districts in Seoul.



In addition, as the victims come out nationwide, a joint incense place to commemorate the victims is scheduled to be held in 17 cities and provinces across the country, including Gyeonggi-do, Daegu, and Gangwon.



Locations can be found on the homepages of each province and autonomous region.
