Nothing is more eerie than seeing the photos of the kids who perished in the Sewol ferry tragedy back in April 2014. You could almost hear the laughter of the kids just by looking at their photos. 304 passengers perished, while 9 are still missing.
There is makeshift memorial here at Gwanghwamun Square in downtown Seoul, near the golden statue of King Sejong the Great. I saw an old man staring forlornly at the statue, before he was called for lunch in one of the food tents there. I hope he is not one of the parents of the missing students because it really broke my heart just seeing him. Can't imagine the pain he has to go through, just waiting there everyday, for answers.
