In honor of Spring Day's 5th anniversary, I'll never let some of you forget that one of the Sewol Ferry victim's grieving father said, "Without anyone knowing, BTS quietly visited our kids through their song and video. They delivered their unforgotten hearts."

six years ago today, the sewol ferry disaster happened. there were 476 people on board and 325 of them were students from danwon high school. a total of 304 people died and 250 of them were students. to this day, five bodies are still missing +
Disturbing footage captured by young passengers on the Sewol ferry as it began to sink in South Korea in April 2014.
Out of the 476 passengers and crew, 304 died in the disaster, including approximately 250 students from Danwon High School in Ansan City.
Among the 172 survivors, over half were rescued by fishing boats and other commercial vessels that arrived at the scene approximately 40 minutes before the Korea Coast Guard.
On May 15, 2014, the captain and three crew members were charged with murder, while the other eleven members of the crew were indicted for abandoning the ship.
It was later concluded that the Sewol ferry likely heeled and then capsized due to the low initial transverse stability (GM), rudder excursion, shifting of cargo that had not been properly secured, and a sudden sharp turn.
Some of the students’ last words when the Sewol Ferry was sinking. It’s been 6 years but this is still too heartbreaking</3 #Remember0416🎗
