Mv Sewol Ferry Disaster Memorials Part 2

Minjae Seong (Class 7)

Minjae was born on the 18th of March, 1997. He was 17 when he died.

Minjae was the youngest of two brothers. He had a million dollar smile since he was a child, and he was a very daughter like son, and gained the nickname 'baby' from his mother, because he looked like a baby even after he grew up. Minjae knew how to dress well, and how to make others laugh. During the middle school graduation ceremony, he performed PSY's Gangnam Style, where he acted the main part, and his teachers were said to have laughed so hard their stomachs hurt. Minjae was friends with Geonho Kim and Jangyoung Shim, but his best friend was Shinwook Kang, whom he had known since middle school. Minjae was also a very caring person, he volunteered at welfare homes and sometimes picked trash on the weekends. His ultimate dream was to become an architect and build a two story house for himself and his parents (he would live upstairs and his parents downstairs)

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

''My son Minjae, I miss you so much.
There you left for a school trip
It's been two months,
The flowers are about to bloom
Our Minjae lives like a flower
I can't even live
With the small Sewol ferry in the open sea
With pain and fear as your last memories
I'm is sorry for letting you go there
Into the wide sea
In a space smaller than a port
I marked a period for life
The meaning left by Minjae and his friends
No one will ever be like him
I can't live
I'll stay together with your mother
Minjae, please be in a good place,
In a place without waves
A dream you couldn't achieve with your friends
I wish you to achieve it
I love you Minjae''
-His father
