[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daehyun] Following the government's decision for a 'state funeral,' Seoul City will set up and operate a memorial altar for the late former President Roh Tae-woo at Seoul Plaza.


According to Seoul City on the 27th, the memorial altar will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. at Seoul Plaza from the 28th to the 30th. After 10 p.m., visitors can participate in paying respects voluntarily.


The memorial altar for former President Roh Tae-woo will be installed in accordance with the altars set up at Seoul Plaza during the state funerals of former Presidents Kim Dae-jung in 2009 and Kim Young-sam in 2015. Considering the purpose of the 'state funeral' decision, full respect and protocol will be ensured. Wreaths and condolence flags will not be accepted separately.


To prevent COVID-19 infection, visitors must maintain sufficient distance upon arrival, undergo temperature checks, and sanitize their hands following staff guidance before entering. Entry will be restricted for those not wearing masks.



Seoul City plans to deploy police and order maintenance personnel around the memorial altar to ensure citizens' safety and maintain order.
