[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Busan City will set up a "Joint Memorial Altar for the Victims of the Itaewon Accident" in the lobby on the first floor of City Hall at 5 p.m. on the 31st to commemorate those who passed away in the Itaewon accident.

The "Joint Memorial Altar" will operate daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. starting on the 31st until a separate end date is determined by the government. As it is a place to express condolences for the victims, it will be managed to allow visitors to pay respects in a solemn atmosphere.

The city will assign staff members at all times to guide visitors who come to the altar, assisting with incense offering and flower tributes, and will also provide condolence books so that visitors can pray for the deceased.

To foster an atmosphere of mourning, a condolence banner will be posted on the city’s official website, and various events during the memorial period will be postponed as much as possible to create a city-wide atmosphere of mourning and remembrance.

Mayor Park Hyung-jun plans to visit the memorial altar with senior officials at 5 p.m. on the 31st to pay his respects.
