Let's take a look at the breaking news of the Itaewon disaster.
In order to prevent this from happening again, it is necessary to clearly identify who is responsible along with a thorough investigation of the facts.
Today (10th) Prime Minister Han Deok-soo said that anyone responsible will be held strictly accountable.
To this end, the police are conducting all-round investigations against local governments, firefighters, and the police themselves.
There is also a movement to investigate the state affairs of the political circles to examine the responsibility of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, which oversees national disaster and safety management, and furthermore, the presidential office.
First, on the day of the disaster, Park Hee-young, Mayor of Yongsan-gu, who visited and inspected the site twice on the day of the disaster, turned out to be false.
When Mayor Park asked the reason for overturning the explanation, he explained that he was confused because there was no situation at the time.

Immediately after the disaster, when Yongsan-gu's response became controversial, Mayor Park Hee-young said that he toured Itaewon's Quinnon Street at 8:20 and 9:00 pm.
On the way back from a business trip to Uiryeong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, he got off at Yongsan-gu Office and inspected the Itaewon area twice.
This explanation changed when the special police investigation into the day's whereabouts and movement began in earnest.
Mayor Park's side told SBS reporters, "I came back from a business trip on the day of the disaster and got off at Itaewon Antique Furniture Street, which is close to my home, not Yongsan-gu, and went straight home."
This is the road that Mayor Park explained that he got out of the car.
If you follow this road, you will arrive at the house of Mayor Park without stopping by Quy Nhon Road.
Mayor Park's side also said that the explanation that he had returned to Quy Non-gil around 9 pm was also not true.
Mayor Park said that he did not leave the house until he first arrived at the scene of the disaster at 10:59 p.m.
Regarding the reason for the change in explanation, Mayor Park explained, "There was no situation at the time and I was confused by the trauma of the disaster."
He also emphasized, "It's never a premeditated lie."
Mayor Park, who explained that the business trip to Uiryeong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do was an official business trip on the same day, said that he also attended the 'family tense event', which had not been clearly stated so far.
