[On-site video+] "Identification is underway for the last five victims."

[Anchor]
A briefing by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport on the Jeju Air plane disaster will be held at Muan International Airport, the site of the accident.

Today, the government announced that it has identified all 179 victims of the accident.

I'll connect you to the site and listen to it myself.

[Interview]
Space is being prepared on the first floor of the passenger terminal. And it's what the bereaved families requested. In order to facilitate the funeral schedule, we decided to allow public leave to be processed for additional needs. It's in progress. And today, we discussed with Jeollanam-do and others so that the bereaved families can visit the disaster site.

So, the bereaved families are now... It's currently in progress. It's not complete. We have prepared a space where the bereaved families can pay tribute to rice cake soup and rice cake soup away from the scene of the accident. It's currently in progress.

So, in relation to this, we controlled the entry and exit of the general public in the case of photography. It was a visit for the bereaved families. I'll stop here for now. If you have any questions or questions, I will answer them.

[Reporter]
Five people said they didn't check, but in the previous briefing, they said they did. I don't think there will be any confusion if you do this accurately.

[Interview]
First of all, if we tell you as of 9 o'clock, I know that the five people are still in progress. What are you talking about when you said it's done?

[Reporter]
At a joint briefing by the bereaved family government in the morning, Park Won-woo, the head of the investigation headquarters, said that he was fully identified, which was also confirmed by the Jeonnam Police Agency. There was also a briefing in the morning that all identities were identified.

[Interview]
The part you mentioned was up to the National Forensic Service. Please understand that I told you that the confirmation of the bereaved family is in progress.

[Reporter]
Isn't identification like that? Identification is what is specified as who this person is, but there are currently 179 people. In fact, up to 174 people have been confirmed, but 5 people have not been confirmed. But there's no match for the script or the site right now. The most important thing is to know exactly who the 179 people were identified like this.

[Interview]
I see. I'll check exactly that part again after this briefing and give it to you again. I'll take another question first and tell you before the briefing ends. And he told me about the on-site coverage several times. We reviewed it internally and asked the bereaved families and did everything, but I'm telling you that's impossible.

The accident investigation is still underway. I'm telling you that it's a problem because it can affect confusion or accident investigation in those areas. We prepared a lot of buses to accommodate the number of families as much as possible.

[Reporter]
Do I just need to know that about 700 people will visit?

[Interview]
Actually, as far as we expected, we expected it to be that much, but I can't tell you because it's not over yet whether you've gone further or less. A lot of people left.

[Reporter]
Today, the bereaved families went to the scene of the accident after four days.

[Interview]
We prepared chrysanthemum flowers, a very simple memorial stone table, and people who bow and incense.

[Reporter]
There seems to be a mix-up in identification, but are you saying that the identification of the five unidentified people has been identified and the process of confirming the bereaved families of them is still underway?

[Interview]
I'll tie that part and tell you.

[Interview]
These were the people who had to confirm the individual by contrasting the family genes. But they couldn't do it because there were some things that didn't match in the process of covering the family's genes, but they were collected that day, and 179 people were completely identified this morning, and they are now checking with their family members this morning. So they probably went and checked today or at this time. So all 179 people have been identified.

[Reporter]
Please tell me your name.

[Interview]
I'm Kim Jung-hee from the task force.

[Reporter]
The family should check what you just explained.

[Interview]
I don't know the family's genes and who this person is, but this gene was identified as this person through genetic matching with the family. That's how they contacted me. But the family should receive it and go through the process of checking that part.

[Reporter]
It's not something you can see with the naked eye, is it?

[Interview]
I understand that we are going through the process of explaining and talking with the naked eye.

[Reporter]
DNA matching is done and confirmed, sign it, this procedure.

[Interview]
Yes, come and check it out. So all of them are here now.

[Reporter] Identification is usually done. The first is fingerprint.

[Interview]
Those who didn't have fingerprints.

[Reporter]
If it can't be confirmed by fingerprint, it's a DNA test. We just checked the fingerprints, DNA, and we're done with 174 people, but five people are continuing to do it... and now we're done DNA testing and checking with their families, and that means they're now identified?

[Interview]
So, we're really sorry, but didn't we ask for cooperation from the five people a few days ago? We worked on collecting DNA back from the unidentified bereaved families. It was matched like that through the contrast you mentioned, so it was confirmed that you went today and checked. So 179 people were identified. Do you have any other questions?

[Reporter]
If the identification was confirmed by matching, five people would go to the site in six teams and check with them. At the morning briefing, they said there were less than 14 people. It's not all done at this point, is it?

[Interview]
At this point, I did it earlier, but there's still some left. They're probably doing it to complete it today. Also, apart from that, we are now in the process of handing over the bodies to the list that has already been completed and notified earlier. I just started. I'm working on it right now.

[Reporter]
I understand that among the bereaved families whose identification procedures have been confirmed, they have checked their faces and there is a request to check whether they are intact or not. When can such people begin to check something like that.

[Interview]
You've already seen it once, but if you want to see it again...

[Interview]
You mentioned that during the morning briefing. So he was a little emotional, but first of all, the bereaved family's representative and then the police will discuss how to coordinate it, so I told him so and answered and finished.

[Interview]
We're calling everyone, so we're calling the names who came earlier. So if the people who called like that say they're going to go, we're taking follow-up steps.

[Interview]
It's in progress. We will announce the exact number later. It's in progress.

[Reporter]
Then you're actually in India right now. In this state, how many people can go when the bereaved families say that we want to have a funeral and we want to extradite them?

[Interview]
First of all, there's nothing physically impossible. There is a part called the bereaved family's choice, so the procedure is delayed now. It depends on those things. For example, there are no funeral homes or no vehicles at all. If you want a vehicle ambulance or something, a funeral car may come, and everything is ready, and cooperation is being made with the bereaved family council.

[Reporter]
How many bodies have been delivered to date?

[Interview]
The eleven person you mentioned earlier. That was as of last night as I told you. And since we just started today, we need more time to check...

[Interview]
We think it's going to be a higher number.

[Reporter]
I think the questions keep overlapping. The identification is complete, but there seems to be no big problem in the procedure for delivering the body, but I don't think the body has been delivered much, is there a reason for that?

[Interview]
Yesterday, we received a list of 28 people and contacted them all.

[Interview]
I'll tell you that. For example, not all bereaved families say they will serve you right now. Many people say they want to invite them right away, but some want to put it on hold and wait a little longer. If you said you would take him out at that time, the number would have increased a lot.

However, since it is the choice of the bereaved families, shouldn't that be respected? So, the number itself has not increased much, but there is a lot of confirmation.

[Reporter]
Are you talking about the 40 to 50 people you mentioned earlier, or...

[Interview]
List received now.

[Interview]
I'm contacting you about the list that I was supposed to receive from 40 to 50 today.

[Reporter]
Delivering their bodies...

[Interview]
Contact him, check it out, and this is how the process goes. That's what I'm informing you about.

[Reporter]
Do you think up to 50 people are possible?

[Interview]
I told you that, but it's been checked a lot. However, it is not possible to say that the choice to take the bereaved families out is entirely up to the bereaved families, so we will increase or it will take a long time. [Interview] The representatives of the bereaved families said they have something to ask the reporters, and the call is that there are too many requests for interviews.

So I can't afford an interview right now. So he said he would like you to refrain from requesting an interview. That's why I'm letting you know.

[Interview]
Next, you've probably received the announcement and you already know this, but there seem to have been quite a few cases where the faces of the bereaved families, briefing participants, and participants were disclosed without filtering. I know you're very careful, and when I monitor it, you're very careful. Nevertheless, the bereaved families must have had a lot of such cases. So, please be careful about that again.
