In addition, the city will actively participate in creating a mourning atmosphere by flying flags at half-mast in all departments (including eup, myeon, and dong). Furthermore, strict year-end and New Year service management will be enforced, including refraining from gatherings and dinners for all employees, including public officials, and wearing mourning ribbons.



Mayor Kim Jang-ho said, “Although the cancellation of the event will greatly disappoint the citizens, we have inevitably decided to cancel it considering the mourning atmosphere due to the occurrence of a national disaster.” He added, “We extend our deepest condolences and sympathies to the victims and their families.”
