A drone show at Gwangalli Beach in Busan to commemorate the victims of the Jeju Airlines crash at Muan International Airport in Cheonan
On the 6th, Suyeong-gu, Busan held a "Drone Show in Memory of the Victims of the Jeju Air Disaster" at Gwangalli Beach at 8 pm on the 4th, the last day of the national mourning period.
This event was prepared to have a special time of mourning with tourists visiting the Gwangalli area and the citizens of Busan, and 700 drones were set up on the Gwangan Bridge, bearing the message "Sincere Condolences."
The march featured phrases such as "We convey our feelings to you" and "Please do not forget this pain," along with images of chrysanthemums, butterflies, and stars, in a performance to pay tribute to the victims.
The New Year's Eve countdown drone special show scheduled for the 31st of last month after the Jeju Air crash was canceled.
This was the first event in 2025. On the 29th of last month, Jeju Air Flight 7C2216, which departed from Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok, was about to land at Muan International Airport when
However, due to a malfunction of the landing gear, the plane attempted a belly landing, but left the runway and crashed into the outer wall. In the accident, 179 of the 181 passengers and crew on board were killed, and 2 crew members were killed.
In response, Deputy Prime Minister Choi Sang-mok, acting president, declared a seven-day mourning period immediately after the accident. During this period, a total of 24 people were buried at joint memorial sites set up in 105 locations across the country.
A total of 6,000 citizens paid their respects to the victims. As many citizens continued to visit the memorial sites, the authorities and local governments decided to extend the operation of 31 memorial sites and are preparing for a second joint memorial service.
The joint incense memorial service set up in front of Seoul City Hall is also scheduled to remain open until the 10th. It will be open from 8 am to 10 pm, but citizens can still pay their respects outside of these hours.
An online incense offering site will also be operated through the website.
