- A total of 14 teachers from Danwon High School were on the ill-fated trip to Jeju, when the Sewol-ho ferry sank.
Three teachers were rescued, while 11 remained unaccounted for.
One of those who didn't make it... is a teacher, who until the end... was more concerned about her students, than herself.
Connie Lee has the story. In the last desperate moments before the ship was going down...
a daughter texts her mother.
"Mom, the ship is sinking."
In shock and confused,... the mother calls her daughter, [ ] Jeon Su-young right away.
" ' , ' . ."
[ : I told her, 'hurry wear a life vest.' But all she said was 'Mom, the students are all wearing life vests.' Now that I think about it, this meant that students had life vests on, while she didn't.]
To her boyfriend, Su-young texts him that, "there are no life vests... I'm sorry."
The boyfriend calls her immediately, but they hang up after 12 seconds on the line.
Su-young tells him that she needs to call her students' parents.
" ."
[ : She said the ship was sinking and that she had to quickly get all her students in life vests. We hung up shortly after. She said her battery was running low, and that she needed to call her students' parents.]
Her last words to her boyfriend... "I love you" and "Thank you."
It was Su-young's second year as a homeroom teacher at Danwon High School.
And as for the school's yearly field trip--- this one to Jeju island on the [ ] Sewol-ho ferry, was her first.
Her room remains untouched... since the day she left for the ill-fated trip.
Her bike too... remains parked... waiting for Su-young to return.
Apparently her grandmother is also waiting... for her granddaughter to come home safely.
" . . ."
[ : Her grandmother still believes that she is alive. She says that her granddaughter is safely inside the ship. She continues to believe that.]
But as much as there is sadness over the loss... her mother is also proud of her daughter... who put the lives of her students before her own.
Connie Lee, Arirang News.
I have a lot respect for this woman she's definitely better than the coward of a captain
They cant be compared those coward people are nothing infront of such a brave teacher
Dont forget the goverment too!
What did the caption do? Did he abandon them? If so, what a coward!
@@Megamunchersbiggestfan yes, he was the first one to escape I think. Students were told by the crew to stay put and don't move...
@@emilevika8621 and lemme guess, the coward swam away? Ugh, I hate people like him 😞
this.. sewol tragedy, is one of the saddest stories ive heard in my time. things like that should never happen.
Megan Shaw 309 people r dead
@@splashyreacts the captain and crew told the kids to remain put while they escaped
Yeah, and I'm still crying over this because my step-sister was there...and she promised me we would go out and celebrate for her birthday after the field trip...it took them almost 3 weeks to notify me that my sister was dead
@@splashyreacts just makes sure you always love your family no matter what.
@@splashyreacts govt conspiracy
I know this may sound stupid, but times like this I wish that people who have super powers like the Avengers were part of the reality... Anyways... This teacher was a hero on her own and her kind act and selflessness will be remembered RIP
It ain’t stupid :( I agree 100%
*it isn’t stupid I promise. Trust me, we all wish people had those powers at times in life.*
I hope she's doing all right in Heaven... She deserved so much more...
She put her life on the line for her students.. I don't have words to describe her bravery
It's not stupid.
They exist they are called emergency rescue personnel or the Navy. Don't know if they have jet boats.
Hopefully, this young woman was able to be comforted by others as she had comforted them in their hour of need.
I salute this teacher she was so brave 😭.I wish all teachers and students to rest in peace.
@@armyblinksforever2305 *braver than the captain
Even at the panic moment she hung up on her boyfriend to inform the students’ parents, still doing her job before her last moment. This is so heartbreaking. May their souls rest in peace.
“Sister we used to fight a lot but thank you”
I can’t hold my tears 😭
You see the boat sinking with your loved ones inside slowly drowning and nothing can be done about it???? This must be the most heartbreaking incident in this century
I have a buddy and he quit the navy because American forces were there ready to hop out of their ship and dive three hours in bht the sk gov said no and they had to leave.
Stuff could have been done, they were lied to, and told to stay put, the percentage of survivors would have been more, had the crew cared for the passangers like the teacher did
@@charsta2072 if the US navy had gone and saved , they all would have survived but u know , it was all planned by the sk govt
RIP everyone who lost their lives on the ship when they could be rescued !!!! the crew should be hanged to death or rather pushed into the water in the middle of the ocean , then only they will realize . I can't stop crying ............ I am a teenager too (14) and its so heartbreaking to see the next generation dying when they cold be saved .
According to the survivors, 12 teachers were helping all the students to stay calm. Some of them just give their own life jacket to the student that did not get it. Brave teachers.
It's more heartbreaking cause the grandmother still believes she lives
I have so much respect for the teacher 😭
Its been 3 years and going through these videos I just keep crying because these children were kids just like us they had dreams aspirations goals and they trusyws the captain so much. During these times they laugh and try to stay calm not knowing or maybe they did that they will die. I'm so angry because nothing much is changing. What is Korea doing to prevent things like these and that follows bastard of a captain I just cant.
ok
you're so disrespectful, "ok"? was that supposed to be funny? you're so childish, get off this video and go back to playing Roblox. you're so unfunny and immature, it's heartbreaking knowing that you're a child. nonetheless you're still old enough to understand what this is, this is a tragedy, children died, and you say ok? you just unnerve me so much..my god..
I was a pen pal with one girl from class two i thought she stopped talking to me because I told her I liked the same bias then I just watch all these videos and the long song woth all the names I'm so fucking sad and pissed like it breaks my heart even more!!! They could've been saved for three days they did nothing god dn it.

That "I LOVE YOU"&"THANK YOU" make me cry
The respect I have for this woman is amazing! She’s definitely better than the captain 🥺
Gosh...this is so tragic...
this is one of the most truly heartbreaking tragedy i have ever heard- and the story of this teacher risking her life for her students makes me want to cry. all of them could have possibly been rescued if it weren't for the captain, telling the children to merely stay put and not even thinking about evacuating them. they have so many dreams, left families and they have so many days ahead of them, but now... rest in peace. 💔
Park su young(who sacrificed and lost her life when she saved these life voluntarily doing what the captain should've done,and lost her life when she was in search of other student,the student she rescued told that she told them to get off,and they did told her to get off with them,but she said,"I will get off the last after everyone is rescued) need to be remembered.
heartbreaking....
a thousand of respect
god bless this young lady and much respect, I hope she rests well now. She did very good until the end.
you own my respect!
If only one could go back to 2014 and save these children and teacher.
u mean just knock out the captian b4 they even set sail to sea? that woulda saved everyone not the children and 1 teacher
Since the day I have watched the documentary, every night (like a fool or like an idiot) I pray that time could turn back to 2014, or to the day when they all (the victims) were planning there trips with all the knowledge of what will happen in future (basically having their memory about what happened) and they would decide not to go on the trip. This is so childish but still I keep on wishing this. Though I know, if one of the path of the bad thing is blocked, it occurs in another way, but still maybe if that didn't happen, something else would have happened which might not have been as worse as that, but only bad to an extent. I know I'm being ridiculous now (this things are only possible in dramas), but I don't know even after knowing that, I want my wish to come true
so simple says get out go to the higher decks and the rescue on the way . but there is smart people i mean all who, survived u can't stay on sinking ships
May she rest in peace
I really respect the woman. She put her student’s life before hers. You really are a wonderful woman.
Teachers Ko Chang-suk ,Jeon Su-Yeong and Victoria Leigh Soto, they are the living embodiment of what a teacher is. They were well loved by their students and gave their lives to protect them; as someone that wants to be a teacher, I admire them a lot
BLESS HER FOREVER IN HEAVEN , we give all of our prayers for you😭😭😭
Its been 5 years. Ive only known about this tragic accident just now, I feel bad for them.. They didnt wanted to die they had dreams. But dont worry the Heaven is guiding them 💔
6 years now:(
it's been 7 years and i'm back again... can't stop crying!
What makes me so sad about this is what about the students who didn't get to say goodbye and the parents who didn't get any text
this is the kind of teacher we need
She's a hero
I respect her so much... 2021 and my heart still broken... Rest in peace, hero and young angels
To anyone interested in more of this tragedy. Watch the documentary ''The diving bell'' It's shot during the sinking/'rescuing' operations and shows just how much all of this was covered up and rescue attempts were hindered until all passengers were dead for sure. There's also the recordings of girls and boys during the sinking you can find on youtube
The 11 teachers that remained helped some of the students escape and comforted the rest. Teachers are like students second mother they'd do anything to protect them and that's what she did. She didn't deserve this she put her life before others and it saved a life and helped and comforted students. The truth needs to come out and it's just sad to hear
Gone but never forgotten
May God take care of this brave young lady. RIP to those who lost their lives
This makes me cry. Prayers sent
She is too nice she even said last words to them
Im here 7 years later...and this woman deserves huge respect from all of us. RIP students and honorable teachers🛐🛐🛐

The Character of man is tested in critical moments. Some shine the brightest at the moment before life goes out.
It’s like everybody is better than the captain of the Costa Concordia!!
I couldn't watch this without tears
I can't believe that they were at the same age iam.they had dreams and life to live.i really cried a lot....it was so so sad they were so kind and all want to survive so badly
Such a sad story... 😢
Blessed be her memory..
I heard that there was a local religion and the president was also in that cult, she stayed away for 7 hours long till the "Young Souls" were all down and dead either inside of coffins or in the air pocket, or ultimately, sunken down feet(s) below sea level. All the purpose of resurrecting an old man, 174 rescued, 152 missing, 150 dead all for the sake of "reviving" a person who is very old in age, whose body has already fertilized and his bones are broken open and unattached from each other, whose body could not be revived even if you stitched him up..
Children, possibly from the age of 12 to 17 died. All for something so silly.. parents who wonder why did they live longer then their children had, why their "baby" that they had cooked breakfast for in the morning had died, and there could have been unresolved tensions for the family, so imagine, being a Parent or a Sibling and hearing _that_ person died because of some religion slash cult. These children had dreams, aspirations, they wanted to do things-- achieve things.. but all of that was destroyed for the sake of the president vanishing for seven hours after commanding the captain with something that could've been a benefit at that time, but an hour later it would've been a slaughter, which it was sadly. There is no reason for her to leave the scene, it was deliberate, there is no explanation for it, she was onto the plan, she commenced it intentionally. I wonder what she was thinking earlier that day, when she began to watch the US navy and many other arrive at the scene 40 minutes before, when she ignored making a call that could have saved lives, when she didn't even let the captain agree to save the students, the many students that were still in that ship with the navy. How do the people who had been there, who could have saved many feel? I think the VP of the school committing suicide might explain how they feel. The overwhelming amount of guilt knowing that you could've done something to save 304 children, that you could have disobeyed the orders of someone so deeply corrupted, to become a hero.
If she wasn't so believing into power, if she wasn't so greedy and so incredibly immoral, if she hadn't planned this at all, then Sewol-Ho wouldn't have taken 3 years to emerge from water, it wouldn't have taken 304's children(s) lives and it wouldn't have caused many families and many friends and many many relatives grief, it wouldn't have made history, it would have been something ceremonial, it would have been something to be grateful for, there would have been a hero. It would have only taken a few hours for all the children to get off, it would have been something to celebrate.. now all we have are videos, texts, showing how children were anxious, how children tried to deny death, and the quick acceptance that they were going to die.
Korea gives me a bad vibe, and I would rather stay away from anymore News about it. I know I can do nothing about it although I want to do so much, I want to change so much, I want so many people gone.. so many immoral people just to leave their position, I want a nation to stand up and riot for their right. They are pawns, so many pawns that could have said "No!". A country with high intellect, but no one willing to practice that. Every country is vile in it's way, but Korea had taken the cake for this. I pity the families who had lost their children and I wish to mourn with them but unless they are not willing to move forward, unless they are not willing to take a stance and say no, then it will not work at all, crying will do no good. All you will do is hurt yourself more and more, if all you want to do is follow then be a sheep and follow, corrupt your own country for the good of sloth. It's a country divided by a next-generation hitler and no one wants to do anything about it, where is the co-existence, where is the loving that is needed, where is the peace?! It's the 21th century and you still live in this age where you think War is something you cannot stop?! So useless.. you are all surely citizens of Korea since you uphold your status of being a pawn so much.
The only ones I pray here, the ones who are not yet guilty, are the children who hadn't developed minds of their own to understand how wrong their country is, how wrong the land they live on is, how they could make peace and bring joy to everyone if they stood up from their desks and stopped following like a sheep.

That 6 year old girl who was rescued had a one year older brother who gave his life jacket to her. Sadly his or their parents bodies was not found...a girls body was found 3 years later, yet there is still bodies who are not found to this day....
Ok?
Ahhh gawdd i cried non stop , shes a true heroo
Came here after watching Indo-South Korean youtuber Korea Reomit about Sewol Ferry Tragedy.. Really appreciate this teacher! She is more brave than those cowards captain and ship's crews! We should call her an angel
A hero Miss Jeon
Both my parents are teachers. And because I know them I am sure that if something like that were to happen with them, they'd stay till the end to help their students. Even if that ment that they'd die!!! And this pains me. In our country, Greece, teachers are underestimated by many parents, who are thinking that they're job is to easy. Even the government thinks that. But whenever something like that happens, most teachers are doing the best to keep the students safe! This is heartbreaking!😞🙏🇬🇷
I want a teacher like her 🥺
*Moral of the Sewol tragedy/story:Be brave,Do anything to save your lifes,Do not panic and be safe*
Came to this video from "Farewell to the Souls", an album of remembrance put out by Ms Jessie Yun to remember the victims of the Sewol Ferry Disaster. May they rest in peace, and may time lessen the pain felt by their loved ones.....
I hope god grants the teacher the highest place in heaven along with the students. She was truly their angel
Not all heroes wear capes
I lartfully pray for them👏
I hope this captain rots in jail.
I've a lots lots of respect for this woman she's definitely better than the ferry captain
She was a much better person than the Captain.
The think where the grandmother said she is still waiting in the ship... that broke my heart... if any of my kids go on a plane or ship. I'll be monitoring everything I can about the ship every five seconds. If not see if I can find a way to go with them on the trip.
Why the captain left the students like that 😭😭😭😭😭
Hard to find such teachers. My mom was a teacher too. She was a great teacher. Now retired.
Those kind of people you can call them proudly a teacher
I generally don't cry on these type of sad news no matter how big it is but why do I kept crying on this tragedy 😢 like there was someone I know on the boat that couldn't survive but I don't rip this teacher is an angel
rip..
Anna Mae Lomentigar ok
in times like this you can only rely on yourself , thrust your survival instinct and chances you will survive is higher than staying put and listening to what others command.
these poor parents who will be thinking of what their babies experienced in the last moments for the rest of their lives. my heart is broken. 😢
This is so sad.😪
heartbreaking
May their souls be at peace .
I can’t stop crying
Her mother should be proud of her, she had more integrity in her than the gutless captain and the coward coast guard commander who could have saved a lot of lives but did'nt..
I am really crying really 😭
So Sadㅠㅠㅠㅠ
the people at fault are the crew members rather than the teachers. it wasnt their job to know what to do in a situation like that and told kids to stay calm and to stay put probably hoping the captain or someone would know what to do. i read about this only yesterday but it really affected me knowing that they had dreams and goals just like us. the things they said before the tradegy and the jokes they made it all sounds like something me or my classmates or anyone our age would say. if the coward captain just took 10 seconds to tell someone what to do it wouldve saved so many people. i wish there was more to do. rest in peace to everyone who passed they will never be forgotten.
it feels so stupid but i still hope someday theyd be found alive somewhere
May all the souls of this sad day yet tragic day be peaceful in heaven and lets pray for their souls to forget their own death and live like angels 😇
There is a video of a girl that was 5 when this happened and her brother and mom died in the ferry. She got out in the only lifeboat that was used her relatives were not in the upper level so they were left. This little girl is bullied at school bc her mom and brother died. She has to change schools because is too painful for her. Many are still suffering because of that day.
plus..according to the channel...she's only get the compesate in her 30s
How does a child get bullied for losing her family? What could someone even negatively say about that? You’d have to be a psychopath, which is possible, but a whole group of young psychopaths all at this school she attends? Sorry I’m just totally dumbstruck right now.
this is so sad
That was a sacrifice. The world needs to wake up. They sacrificed these innocent children.
Jeon Su-young: Forever a hero and saviour.
So Sad
If only the captain had half the heart and bravery of this women...
