On January 17, the families of victims from the Jeju Air accident, the Sewol ferry disaster, and the Itaewon crowd surge gathered to hold memorial rituals for their departed loved ones during the Seollal holiday. The ceremony at Muan International Airport was attended by about 50 to 60 family members, including local leaders such as Gwangju Mayor Kang Ki-jeong and Jeonnam Governor Kim Yeong-rok. The families shared their heartfelt prayers at the collective altar set up in the airport, expressing their longing for the deceased with sentiments like 'I wish to see you in my dreams' and 'May you rest in peace in the heavens.' After the ceremony, they shared traditional rice cake soup, providing mutual comfort amid their grief. This year's commemoration comes as they approach the second Seollal since the tragic Jeju Air crash, in which out of 181 passengers aboard flight 7C2216, 179 lost their lives due to a collision with the ground after a bird strike. The families are not only mourning but also committed to advocating for truth and accountability regarding the incidents, with representative Kim Yoo-jin emphasizing their determination to pursue justice for their loved ones. In addition to the memorials at Muan, the Itaewon disaster families held their commemorative event at the 'House of Stars' in Jongno-gu, marking the fourth Seollal since the tragedy with a poignant ceremony at 1:59 PM, honoring the 159 victims. The Sewol ferry families also gathered at a designated memorial space in front of the Seoul City Council, sharing food with citizens during their commemoration. Across Seoul, activities were held to support laborers on strike, illustrating a strong community commitment to support those who continue to struggle for their rights, bridging the celebrations of Seollal with ongoing social movements.
