Yes. President Yoon moved to the situation room of the government complex in Seoul, where the main script is operating from the Yongsan government building around 2:30 this morning.
First of all, I have instructed them to proceed with quickly identifying those who have died, even for the families who have not been contacted so far.
In addition, the accident management headquarters, headed by Prime Minister Han Deok-soo, will be activated immediately.
Public Administration and Security Minister Lee Sang-min has ordered the investigation into the dead and a detailed investigation into the cause of the accident.
At the same time, President Yoon urged Health and Welfare Minister Cho Kyu-hong to do his best to treat patients transferred to the hospital.
As soon as the damage situation is summarized today, President Yoon will preside over the accident control headquarters meeting.
Before this, President Yoon presided over an emergency situation check meeting at the Emergency Management Center of the Yongsan Presidential Office early this morning, where rescue work was underway.
President Yoon said that the evacuation and relief of patients, as well as rapid transport and treatment, are the main priorities, and said that necessary measures should be taken to ensure an ambulance route.
In particular, he called Kim Kwang-ho, Commissioner of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, and ordered to strictly control vehicles and personnel, not for the purpose of transporting patients or treating patients.
Immediately after receiving the report of the accident, President Yoon asked all relevant ministries and organizations, led by the Minister of Public Administration and Security, to make efforts to obtain first aid and treatment.
Public Administration and Security Minister Lee Sang-min asked the Fire Department to use all resources to rescue her, and the police to ensure that human casualties are minimized by promptly maintaining order.
He added that local governments should pay attention to security management, such as pre-incident inspections, so that similar cases do not occur in other local governments.
Minister Lee visited the scene of the accident at about 1 am, three hours after the accident was reported, and checked the situation, and then attended the meeting of the main headquarters.
