The 4.16 Ansan Citizens Association, a group of about 600 people from the Ansan, Gyeonggi Province area, invited Moon Jae-in to a memorial service on the fourth anniversary of the Sewol ferry disaster. The group offered the invitation during a press conference at the Hwarangyou Park in Ansan on Apr. 9.

“Since the accident happened four years ago, we have suffered together with our neighbors,” the group said. “At the memorial service for the Apr. 3 Jeju Uprising and Massacre victims, President Moon apologized for state violence and promised a full resolution for that event. By attending the memorial dinner for the Sewol victims, it would show the will of his government to also offer a full resolution to this tragedy.” (provided by 4.16 Ansan Citizens Association)
