The Green Umbrella Children's Foundation, which is overseeing the funeral, told StarNews on the 30th, “The body will be placed in the coffin on November 1, and the departure of the coffin will take place at 7:40 a.m. on November 2.”

According to the foundation, following the departure of the coffin, a funeral mass is scheduled to be held around 9:00 a.m., led by Cardinal Yoon Su-jong. The venue for the mass is the Yeouido Cathedral in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul. After the mass concludes, attendees will pay their final respects at the Green Umbrella headquarters in Mugyodong, Seoul, around 10:40 a.m.

During his lifetime, the late Mr. served as the National Patron Chairman of Green Umbrella, continuing to provide support for children both domestically and internationally.

A space will also be prepared where citizens and patrons can mourn the deceased. The foundation stated, “In order for citizens and patrons who wish to accompany Chairman Choi Bul-am on his final journey, we have set up memorial spaces on the first floor of the Green Umbrella headquarters and on our homepage, so that many people remembering the late Mr. can grieve together.”

The funeral will be held as a five-day ceremony under the auspices of the Green Umbrella Children's Foundation. Hwang Young-gi, Chairman of Green Umbrella, will serve as the head of the funeral committee, while former Prime Ministers Lee Soo-seong and Lee Nak-yeon, among others, will participate as members of the funeral committee.
