By the way, hasn’t the government emphasized several times that preparations are going well?
[Reporter]

In addition, many pointed out that preparations were insufficient from a year ago.
During last year’s parliamentary audit, an opposition lawmaker pointed out that heat waves, heavy rain, drainage facilities, and pest control were insufficient, and Minister of Gender Equality and Family Kim Hyun-sook was confident that “all measures have been taken” at this time as well.
However, even the basic preparations such as toilets, showers, and measures against heat waves, which can be easily prepared with a little care, were not yet available.
