[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Dong-joo] On the 13th, volunteers and Yongsan District Office officials were organizing chrysanthemum flowers and memorial messages left by citizens on the sidewalk in front of the Itaewon disaster site in Yongsan-gu, Seoul.

Despite the chilly weather due to considerable rainfall, the volunteers covered hundreds of chrysanthemums and memorial messages left by citizens with plastic sheets to prevent them from getting wet and tidied up the surrounding area.

The Itaewon disaster joint memorial altar was all closed on the 12th with the closure of the Noksapyeong Station altar, but the "memorial space" right in front of the accident alley, created through voluntary participation of citizens, has no plans for dismantling and will be maintained with the support of volunteers and Yongsan District Office.
