All 179 bodies of the victims were returned to the arms of the bereaved family just after the Jeju Air plane accident.

The government said it would continue to provide support after the funeral of the victims, and that it would also set up a new organization dedicated to them.

I'll connect you to a reporter for more information.

Reporter Cha Jung-yoon, the delivery of the body of the victim of the plane disaster was completed today, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, it is.

Jeju Air's Central Disaster Management Headquarters said the last three bodies of 179 victims were delivered to the bereaved families this morning.

As a result, only 30 days after the accident on December 29 last year, the bodies of 179 victims were returned to the arms of the bereaved families.

After a long wait, most of the bereaved families who took over their family's bodies have left Muan Airport for a funeral.

After the funeral, the bereaved families decided to gather again on the 11th to discuss future plans, including urging to find out the cause of the disaster and compensation for damage.

The government also announced that it will establish a dedicated support organization to keep in close contact with the bereaved families and continue to provide support for necessary parts.

As the recovery of the victims is over, the investigation to determine the cause and responsibility of the accident is expected to begin in earnest.

Earlier, the police launched a forced investigation into Muan Airport and Jeju Air, including seizure and search, and banned Jeju Air CEO Kim Yi-bae from leaving the country as a major reference.

After analyzing the search and seizure data, the police are expected to call CEO Kim soon to see if he can charge him with professional negligence or serious accident punishment law.

The police are also investigating online posts that excessively slander or disparage bereaved families.

The National Police Agency is speeding up its investigation by investigating a total of 126 malicious posts, arresting one of them, executing five raids and applying for 51 warrants.
