MV Sewol Ferry Disaster Memorials Part 1

Yoonmin Choi (Class 3)

''Today is your birthday. Originally, on your this day, you would have been talking about your birthday more...
Instead of you, your sisters and mom are telling you it's your birthday. How about there?
Are you doing well? Did you receive a lot of congratulations?
Do you like your sisters' gifts?
I have so many questions, but... I'll ask them once I get there..
So come to my sister's dream and tell me directly.
My beloved sister Yoonmin
Congratulations on my birthday...I miss you so much.''
-Yoona Choi, Yoonmin's older sister.

Yoonmin Choi was born on the 10th of September, 1997. She was 16 when she died.

Yoonmin was quiet, but shen she spoke, she had a shooting and peaceful voice. She behaved well in school. She resembeled her mother a lot with her long fingers and slender toes. She loved makeup and painting her nails, but school rules disallowed her to show them off at school.

She had painted her toenails pink with flowers just a day before the trip. When the bodies were being retrieved, the divers said ''A girl with pink toenails'' had been found. Her parents immediately knew it was her.

Her body was recovered and returned to her family. She now rests at Hwaseong Sky Memorial Park.
