It must be a very somber atmosphere where you are right now.<br />Yes, Jung-hee, I'm at Seoul National University Hospital where the wake for Mayor Park is being held.<br />It's been bustling due to a lot of media here as you would expect waiting for any updates regarding the funeral process.<br />At noon today, the funeral home started taking visitors and is now open to the public.<br />We have seen many high-ranking public officials come for a visit, including President Moon Jae-in's top aides and the U.S. ambassador.<br />Some of the National Assembly members said a few words as they were leaving the funeral home.<br />"Aside from politics, I'm saddened by this as a high school friend of Mayor Park's. Just a few days ago, he and I were talking about local development. I never imagined this would happen."<br />Okay, so tell us briefly how the city willl deal with this unusual situation, including the funeral itself and the vacancy in the city's highest post.<br />Jung-hee, the city said earlier that the body will be moved on July 13th, and that the funeral will be a special mayoral ceremony... in the five-day traditional Korean system.<br />This is the first time ever the city is hosting such event.<br />The city will set up a special memorial as well at City Hall for the public to pay their respects starting tomorrow.<br />In addition, the city said it now has an interim mayor, Park's deputy, Seo Jeong-hyup. He came out and said that he will make sure that the situation does not put people's safety in any danger.<br />He is due to stay in office until April 7th of next year... at which point there'll be a by-election.<br />Back to you, Jung-hee.<br />
