A police officer said: “I looked at this place intensely because it seemed to have happened in the basement.” “I confirmed how it was installed on the three basement doors.”

Police closely watched the signs of the fire inside the building and went to verify the exact location of the fire. However, he did not explain the specific point of ignition and was cautious.

The police were known to be cautious in reviewing whether the legal liability of Hanik Express, the contractor other than the contractor and the supervisor, was clear.

Survivors insisted that the original government should be held accountable. A survivor said: “In addition to the severe punishment of the responsible person, if a serious accident occurs, the director must be responsible.” Other survivors noted that “they often hide behind (in the case of compensation) because they did not directly form an employment relationship with the victims.”

President Jeon Hye-sook said: “The problems of the original and the outsourcing are the most serious problems identified by the party. I will suggest it to the government based on the suggestions. “The special envoy will announce this to the survivors after the expert meeting on the 20th.
