Hello Steve. I'd like to add some to a previous answer.
As you probably know, the concept of 'we' (as members) is rather important than 'I' in Korea. 'We' feel very sorry for people who passed away because we are members of this society that made very cruel and serious mistakes. This link below may help you understand better...

p.s. 유감입니다 can be an expression for the sentence, "I'm sorry to hear that" It's very formal so usually not used on a daily basis.
