MV Sewol tragedy


On April 16, 2014, a ferry carrying 325 of the school's second-year class and a dozen of its teachers capsized en route from Incheon towards Jeju resulting in many fatalities and injuries.
The school was closed until April 24, when it opened only for the 75 surviving juniors; yellow ribbons were tied to the school's gate, and a shrine of flowers and hundreds of notes to the dead adorned the school's entrance. A makeshift memorial was established in a nearby basketball gymnasium, with a wall of flowers and dozens of photos of the dead and missing.
The school's vice principal, Kang Min-kyu, who had been rescued from the ferry, died by suicide a few days after the disaster.
