Kim Dong-yeon Visits '10·29 Truth Bus' Urging Apology and Punishment of Those Responsible

Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon is consoling the bereaved families who boarded the '10.29 Truth Bus' visiting Suwon Olympic Park on the 5th.

Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon visited the site upon hearing that the '10·29 Truth Bus,' after traveling across the country for ten days, would pass through Suwon on the way to Itaewon on the 5th, and he once again urged the Yoon Seok-yeol administration to offer a sincere apology and thoroughly investigate the truth.

On that day, Governor Kim posted on his social media, "One father riding the Truth Bus recognized me, and when I visited the citizen memorial altar, he had neatly trimmed his previously unkempt beard," adding, "The only words I could offer to the bereaved fathers and mothers were, 'As a public official, I am ashamed.'"

He continued, "Upon hearing that the '10·29 Truth Bus' would pass through Suwon last on its way to Itaewon after touring the nation for ten days, I visited the site," and criticized the Yoon Seok-yeol administration, saying, "Our bereaved families are still in great pain and still crying, but there has been neither a sincere apology nor a thorough investigation."

In particular, he pointed out, "They have neither clearly identified who is responsible nor has anyone stepped forward to take responsibility," adding, "Even the minimum conditions necessary to alleviate the trauma of the bereaved families have not been met."

However, he added, "In Gyeonggi Province, there is still one injured person who has not yet regained consciousness after the disaster, and we are supporting part of the nursing expenses with hope that consciousness can be restored."

Governor Kim further urged, "Once again, I call on the government authorities to offer a sincere apology," and insisted, "The truth of the 10·29 disaster, which the bereaved families desire, must be clearly revealed as soon as possible, and those responsible must be punished so that the wounds of the bereaved families can heal."
