Looking for testimonials on the collapse of Tae Sung Department Building
My name is Sang-ho Park, a researcher on the cause of collapsed buildings in the capital Seoul, and I am seeking interviews with anyone who has seen or survived from the 1997 Tae Sung Department Building tragedy. Survivors or those who have known survivors are especially encouraged to participate. Remuneration is 20,000 won per hour, and the interviewees will be acknowledged in all resulting published books, magazines, and articles.

Dear Mr. Park,
Hello, my name is Gyoung-Ju Kim, and I am one of the very few survivors of the Tae Sung Department Building tragedy. I am very thankful that a person like you is willing to investigate after such a horrible tragedy which has taken away my job, my youngest daughter and many of my co-workers. Although it has cost more than 50 people's lives and more than a hundred people lying in the hospital for at least a month, the survivors and their families have not been treated the way they should've been. We all had to go through such a hard time and it was a long terrible nightmare for all of us. I would do the interview willingly even if there was no incentive, because the tragedy still remains in our hearts and we don't want it to happen again. I am also bringing my friend, a co-worker who also survived from the tragedy. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Gyoung-Ju Kim
