Gyeonggi Province explained that Governor Kim's tribute was due to the completion of all funerals for the 23 victims of the AriCell fire on the 3rd.

On the day of the accident, June 24, Governor Kim visited the site and urged the rapid suppression of the fire by mobilizing all available resources, and subsequently instructed to do their best in accident response and recovery, as well as support for the injured and bereaved families.
