  • 5 years ago
Remembering one of the darkest days in the country's modern history.
South Korea marks the fifth anniversary of the Sewol-ho ferry sinking on this Tuesday.
A memorial service will be held at 3pm, Korea time, at a park in Ansan, just south of Seoul, where Danwon High School is located.
More than 260 students and teachers from that school died when the ferry capsized in waters off Korea's southwestern coast on April 16th, 2014.
Other memorial services will be held across the country as well.
We'll have continuing coverage of this solemn anniversary throughout the day here on Arirang TV.
