According to Yonhap News Agency 11 report, on the night of the tragedy of Itaewon, the "top leader" of the South Korean police, Yoon Hee-gun, was camping in another place. He was sleeping and missed the report call and text messages from his subordinates. This also led to him learning the news later than the South Korean president and the Minister of Administration and Security (Yong Hee-gen).

The Korean Police Department revealed that on October 29, Yoon Hee-gun went to Techeon City, North Chungcheong Province and climbed a mountain with his acquaintances. At 11 p.m., he fell asleep at the campsite. At 11:32 p.m., subordinates sent a text message to report the accident and there were casualties, but no reply was received. 20 minutes later, the subordinate called again, but Yoon Hee-gen didn't answer.
at 0:14 the next day, his subordinates contacted Yoon Heegen and reported the relevant situation. Yoon Hee-gun immediately stood up and arranged for the Seoul Police Chief to respond with all his strength in 5 minutes. But it was not until 2:30 a.m. that he arrived at the police department in Seoul and attended the meeting chaired by the president.
On November 1, Yoon Hee-gen held a press conference to apologize, saying that South Korean police received a call from 11 before the stampede, but did not take sufficient response measures.
