I believe they want the government to take accountability. Make up for the hurt this caused. Regardless of what they want out of this situation, I believe it’s our human right to express our honest opinions and protest. Governments should not deprive us of that.

Personal reports from people in South Korea.
Here's an nbc piece on the tragedy, it also notes the taboo nature of bringing this up.
“The Korean government has a long history of censoring, erasing and
misremembering any event that might be considered shameful,” said Areum
Jeong, author of an upcoming book on the aftermath of the Sewol ferry
disaster. “Creating a memorial would be admitting that there is
something to document.”

Very sorry to hear that. The fact that this happened is truly alarming, hopefully safety measures will be taken in order to prevent these tragedies. As for governments controlling narratives, people will always find a way to work around them. We'll just have to wait and see if this concept has any large-scale effect.

They’re demanding that Yoon Suk Yeol steps down. People aren’t willing to forgive the government’s incompetence. The government on the other hand, isn’t taking demands, putting 11.000+ police officers in Seoul to prevent anti-government protests, when they haven’t deployed them to prevent the crowd crush.
