According to Yonhap News Agency on December 24, South Korean President Lee Jae-myung apologized to the victims of the toxic humidifier disinfectant incident on the 24th, saying the government would define the incident as a “social disaster.” Toxic humidifier disinfectants have killed or become ill in South Korea. In 2011, sales of toxic humidifier disinfectants were halted, and South Korea's health department announced that such products may cause lung disease. In 2017, South Korea enacted a special law to pay compensation to victims. As of last month, 5,942 people have been officially confirmed as victims. Lee Jae-myung posted on social media: “It's too late.” He also “expressed condolences and condolences to the victims and their families.” In 2017, then-President Moon Jae-in apologized to the victims. The background of Lee Jae-myung's apology is that the South Korean government announced comprehensive measures for compensation and support for victims earlier in the day.
