Hyeonsu was born on the 30th of April, 1995. He was 18 when he died.

Hyeonsu was the eldest child. His parents ran a sushi restaurant in Incheon. Hyeonsu was a part-time worker at the ferry's restaurant with his friend Hyunwoo Lee, whom he had known since elementary school. His ultimate dream was to attend art college, but he couldn't afford it. His cousin Kiwoong Kim had suggested that he could work at Sewol because of the good pay, and Hyeonsu agreed.

Hyeonsu made his last phone call to his father during the sinking. "The boat is tilting. I'm with my cousin(Kim Kiwoong),I have to go handing out life jackets to the passengers. I will call you again." His parents think this was what they 'deserved' for killing so many fish. When weeks passed and his body hasn't been found, his father spoke to the sea ''The day after tomorrow is your birthday, please come back until then.''

Hyeonsu's body was recovered a day before his birthday and returned to his parents. He now rests next to his best friend in Incheon Family Park.
