Mv Sewol Ferry Disaster Memorials Part 2

Seongho Park (Class 5)

Seongho Park was born on the 4th of June, 1997. He was 16 when he died.

Seongho was a middle child of two sisters and one brother. He had deep faith in god and the holy spirit since he was young, and his mother was his mentour. Seongho loved his mother, and never went a day without kissing her on the cheek or hugging her, sometimes he'd write her letters or give her small gifts. He was also protective of his sisters. They usually stayed late at hagwons, and Seongho picked them up every night. Seongho was described as joyful, polite and kind. If there was one thing that Seongho was facisinated with, it was the universe. He was happy to be part of it and he spent his free time memorizing the names of different planets and stars, or laying down, gazing at the beautiful night sky. He also loved history, trying his best to get the perfect score and soccer, which he played with his best friend, Geonwoo Kim from the same class and some others. Seongho aspired to be like his father, but dreamed of becoming a soccer player when he was in elementary school, but changed his mind and wanted to become a priest instead.

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