On June 10, the company released a statement from its employees expressing, "We deeply apologize for the accident that occurred on June 9 at the Shinansan Line 3-2 double-track site."
The incident involved a subcontracted worker in his 30s who fell to his death at the construction site in Gwanak-gu, Seoul. Following the accident, the Ministry of Employment and Labor ordered a work stoppage at the site and initiated an investigation.
POSCO E&C stated, "First and foremost, we extend our deepest condolences and sympathies to the bereaved family who lost their precious loved one."
The company acknowledged that, despite conducting safety inspections at the Shinansan Line site with external experts, it felt that these measures were insufficient.

"Once again, we offer our condolences to the deceased and extend our heartfelt apologies and sympathies to the bereaved family," POSCO E&C concluded.
