Mv Sewol Ferry Disaster Memorials Part 2

Woojin Seon (Class 6)

Woojin was born on the 10th of June, 1997. He was 16 when he died.

Woojin was the eldest child. He had a close relationship with his mother, and she gave him the nickname 'sunman', and soon never used his real name. He sometimes argued with her, but they ended in her apologizing to him and Woojin writing her a note. Woojin's real name was Jaewon, but her mother changed it. Woojin was loving and caring, but he started changing after his father was involved in an accident and was in coma. During that time, Woojin became the man of the house, and took care of his sister while their mother was at work as a nurse. His father passed away in the winter of 2014, leaving him grieving. Woojin's dream was to become a soccer player, but when his mother disagreed, he changed his mind and wanted to become a soccer commentator instead.

"You just have to listen to your mom and wait until Friday."
"Woojin, can't I go?"
"It's okay. I'll bring you back something" Woojin assures his sister, and leaves for the trip.

His body was recovered and returned to his family. He now rests at Pyeongtaek Lakeside Memorial Park.
