Yangcheon-gu, Seoul (Mayor Lee Gi-jae) announced on the 30th that it will fully cancel the ‘2025 Yongwangsan and 5 Other Sunrise Viewing Events’ scheduled for January 1 next year, in mourning for the Jeju Air passenger plane disaster that occurred at Muan International Airport on the 29th.

The district explained, “In accordance with the national mourning period declared until January 4 of the new year, this decision was made to commemorate the victims of this disaster and share the grief with the bereaved families.” However, since it is expected that some residents will voluntarily visit to watch the sunrise, safety measures such as crowd control and cold wave countermeasures will be implemented as planned to focus on preventing safety accidents.

The district plans to minimize inconvenience to residents by announcing the cancellation on the district office website, blog, Instagram, and other social networking services (SNS), and by hanging cancellation banners around the event venues.

Mayor Lee Gi-jae said, “I pray for the repose of those who lost their lives in the unfortunate aviation accident and offer my deepest condolences to the families who lost their loved ones,” adding, “We ask for the understanding of all residents regarding the cancellation of the sunrise viewing events, and hope that everyone will calmly welcome the new year while sharing in the national grief.”
