Meanwhile, memorial services were held nationwide to mark the 3rd anniversary of the Itaewon tragedy. Many citizens visited memorial spaces to commemorate the 159 victims who tragically lost their lives three years ago and prayed for their souls to rest in peace. The Itaewon tragedy served as a reminder of the importance of social safety systems, and the government is preparing various measures to prevent recurrence. At the time of the accident, the scene was reportedly extremely congested, with 16 people per square meter. This is a very serious level compared to 4.8 people per square meter on the Gangnam Station staircase and 4.3 people per square meter at Guro Digital Complex Station. The government will strengthen safety management systems in crowded areas and do its best to prevent similar accidents from occurring. In addition, it will continue to provide support for the victims' families and work to share their pain.
