Video without mosaic spreads through social media... Concerned about "national trauma"

<Anchor>

From now on, let's take a look at what should be pointed out at this time in relation to this disaster with reporter Kim Jung-woo.

[Reporter Kim Jung-woo: Yes, it is.

We prepared a video.

This video was filmed the day before (29th) around 10:20 pm.

So, it was right after the fire department called.

If you look at the video now, it seems that walking is possible because there are no barriers in all directions.

However, the mood changed completely when people suddenly started to be washed away on the descent.

I couldn't go forward and people flocked from behind, so the situation continued.]

[Reporter Kim Jung-woo: Yes, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency formed a large-scale investigation team and started an investigation to determine the cause of the accident and determine who is responsible.

First, we are analyzing where and how this accident started by securing CCTVs at the site.

Even CCTV obtained afterward has been designated as an emergency analysis target for digital evidence and is being looked at immediately.

We are also in the process of requesting deletion of offensive posts that defame the victims, and we have already started a full-scale investigation into six cases.

It doesn't end here.

More than 100,000 people flocked to the Itaewon Halloween Festival this time, but since there is no organizer, it seems that watching who will be held responsible will be a big axis of the investigation.]

[Reporter Kim Jung-woo: Yes, it is.

I also continued to look at social media right after the accident, and I could see that the face was exposed as it is or the video of the corpse lying down was rapidly spreading.

Because of this situation, there are even voices that are concerned about the trauma of the entire nation.

This is something we have already experienced once in the last Sewol ferry disaster.

So, the government decided to conduct psychological counseling for the bereaved family, the injured, and the witnesses.

Also, we announced a plan to allow ordinary citizens who were not present to receive counseling over the phone.]

[Reporter Kim Jung-woo: Yes, looking at SNS now, posts like 'I have a pain in my body' and 'I have a headache' are coming up after going to Itaewon. Those who escaped from the Itaewon scene, if you are not feeling well, it is better to go to the hospital now.]
