IVE Sends Condolence Wreath for Elementary School Student Who Died in Garbage Truck Accident

On October 30, a devastating incident occurred in which a seven-year-old girl, referred to as A, tragically lost her life. The accident took place when a garbage truck unexpectedly reversed and mounted the sidewalk of an apartment complex in Gwangju’s Buk-gu district, striking her as she walked home from school.

The following day, on October 31, a memorial featuring a joyful portrait of A was established. Her heartbroken family expressed their sorrow, asserting that such a calamity should never happen again.

A’s uncle shared touching memories of his niece, particularly her enthusiasm for the girl group IVE. He fondly remembered her delight in collecting IVE photo cards and the promise he made to take her to one of their concerts. “It shatters my heart that I couldn’t fulfill that promise,” he said, tears in his eyes.

The members of IVE were deeply shaken by the news and extended their condolences. They sent a wreath to A’s memorial with a message stating, “We pray for the peace of the deceased’s soul.”

A’s mother, visibly touched by the gesture, expressed her heartfelt thanks, saying, “My daughter was a dedicated fan of IVE. Though we are engulfed in grief, we are grateful for their support.”

The authorities are currently looking into the accident. The police have detained the truck driver, a man in his 40s, and are conducting a comprehensive inquiry in line with the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Settlement of Traffic Accidents, investigating whether any safety measures were overlooked during this unfortunate event.
