Actress Lee Young Ae helped the victims of the accident in Itaewon.
The bereaved family of Park Yuliana, a Russian citizen who died in the Itaewon accident the other day, were in trouble because they could not prepare the cost of transport for the body. He complained that he needed $ 5,000 (about 740,000 yen) to transport the body to his home country of Russia, but he couldn’t insure it.
Her father, Park, who is from Sakhalin, Russia and speaks poor Korean, currently works in a nursing home and says his life is not rich.
They have to take a ferry to Vladivostok departing from Donghae Port in Donghae City, Gangwon Province on the 4th, but if they miss it, they will have to wait a week. This is because there are no direct flights between South Korea and Russia due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
After Park’s circumstances were reported, actress Lee Young-ae expressed a desire to support Yuliana, who was unable to return to her home country due to financial problems, and her family through the Korea Welfare Foundation for the Disabled. . Lee Young-ae is the chair of the advisory committee in the field of culture and the arts of the Korea Welfare Foundation for the Disabled.
Not only she, but also the general public actively participates in the support. The Russian community living in South Korea has organized a fundraiser for them.
The Russian embassy has also moved. The Russian embassy has decided to issue the necessary documents for the transport of the body as soon as possible and to discuss the cost of transporting the body with the company.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is discussing with relevant ministries and agencies the idea of anticipating funeral expenses for foreign victims to prevent a similar incident like Juliana’s.
