◀ Sehun Oh / Seoul Mayor ▶
I am Oh Se-hoon, mayor of Seoul.
We wish the victims of the accident that took place in Itaewon on 29 October.
We extend our deepest condolences to the bereaved family and sincerely wish the injured who are currently receiving treatment a speedy recovery.
First of all, as the mayor of Seoul, responsible for the life and safety of the citizens, I feel infinitely responsible for this incident and I express my sincere apologies.
Seoul will do its best with all administrative power until all funeral procedures are completed and the bereaved family, the injured and any citizens who feel pain from this incident can return to their daily lives.
We have sent public officials to assist bereaved families who are currently celebrating funerals, and we are also providing professional psychological care to those who were seriously injured in this incident.
We will continue to support bereaved families who are experiencing difficulties.
From now on, we will do our best to ensure that there is no risk of security incidents even in places or events with large numbers of people, and we will work with the government to complete related systems.
We will take steps to prevent such a tragic accident from happening again.
I would like to express my gratitude to the citizens who have participated in emergency relief in a time of crisis, to the paramedics at the scene of the accident, to the medical staff who work hard to treat the injured and to the related officials who are supporting families in mourning for their dedicated efforts.
Once again I would like to apologize to the citizens.
