Section Chief A of the Office of Education said, "The staff who heard the news about Team Leader B, who worked with us, are currently struggling to compose themselves," and added, "Team Leader B was a responsible person with a great personality, and juniors followed him well," as his eyes filled with tears.

Another staff member confessed, "Honestly, I can't focus on work. Ever since I heard about the accident, I've just been in a state of shock and anxiety." Those around the officers involved in the accident said that they were all evaluated as having outstanding work abilities and excellent interpersonal relationships with colleagues.

That morning, the Office of Education held a meeting of the Jeju Air passenger plane accident response headquarters to share updates on the situation and discuss urgent measures to support the victims' families. The office is dispatching staff to the situation room at Jeollanam-do Provincial Government and the family waiting area at the accident site to fully support the victims' families, and plans to provide professional trauma counseling and psychological support.

Superintendent Kim Daejung said, "My heart aches beyond words due to the accident involving our beloved education family. I pray for the repose of the teachers and students who suffered this great tragedy. Who can truly understand the hearts of the bereaved families?" He added, "Above all, we will do our utmost to support the bereaved families first. We will spare no effort in cooperating with the government and related organizations to provide all possible support so that the bereaved families can overcome their sorrow and get through these hardships."
