Along with all the high school seniors who took the CSAT this week, 250 students who tragically lost their lives in the Sewol Ferry tragedy last year would have done the same. In front of Gyeongbokgung Palace's main gate Gwanghwamun were placed the name tags and backpacks of the students whose souls now rest forever. This memorial service was held in remembrance of those lost students with the aim of never forgetting them.
The hearts of those who came across the sight of this memorial service wrenched with sadness knowing that had the Sewol ferry not sunk, the deceased students would preparing for their bright futures like the rest of Korea's high school seniors.
Meanwhile, 70-year-old Lee Joon Seok, the Sewol Ferry captain, who fled the sinking ship leaving behind the passengers and the students, received a life sentence in the Supreme Court.
