I'm tearing up... The authorities are identifying the victims through fingerprints, but since she's a foreigner, it might take a while...
-F*ck... It's people like Yoon Sukyeol and Kim Geonhee who should face such tragedy like this. Why do innocent people like them have to go through this?ㅠㅠ
-I wonder if her husband's job is something like a fisherman who goes out to sea for days at a time?ㅠㅠ
-The reality is too cruel...
-The world is so harsh...
-My heart is truly broken... ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ May they all rest in peace.
-I mean... This is so unfairㅠㅠ How could this happen?ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-This is so heart-breakingㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-I'm sure the mother must've gone to meet her daughter at the airport happily...ㅜㅜㅜㅜ
-This is driving me crazy... I can't imagine how the mother feels...ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ May they all rest in peace...
-Why is the husband out of reach?ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-How heartbroken must the Thai mother be... She was probably so happy that her daughter was coming to see herㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ
-This can't be real… ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Someone tell me this is just a nightmare ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Oh no… ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ How will the mother live now? ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
