MV Sewol Ferry Disaster Memorials Part 1

Chanmin Jo (Class 8)

Chanmin Jo was born on the 6th of November, 1997. He was 16 when he died.

Chanmin was the youngest of his family. After his parents divorced when he was 8, he kept a good relationship with them. He often helped his mother with housework by washing the dishes or cooking tofu or tuna and eggs, because she had hard time doing them. He always greeted his mother at the front door after she came back from work. He was active at the robotics club at school. Chanmin had wanted to go and see a movie, and he took his father with him. It was the last day he spent with his father together.

His body was recovered and returned to his parents. He now rests at Ansan Sky Memorial Park.
