Dayoon Heo was born on the 1st of October, 1997. She was 16 when she died.

Dayoon lived with her parents, one sister and a dog named Kambi. Dayoon loved both of her parents, but she liked her father more. She'd wait for him at the train station after he got off from work, and she packed one of his hats with her because she thought it looked cool. She had a deep faith in god since childhood and was attending church often, and working the church's daycare for multicultural families' children. Dayoon was introverted, sweet and gentle. As a result, she didn't have many friends and spent her time with Kambi. Different from  her sister and the polar opposite of her boyfriend Jongyoung Hong from class 6. They were childhood friends, and became inseperatable. They walked to school together, studied together and went to the same church. Her mother picked him up so she could drive them to the port together. She had good relationship with her sister, and they often went shopping together. Dayoon's ultimate dream was to become a kindergarten teacher.

She was still among the missing when the search for the bodies stopped. Despite that, her mother never gave up hope, that her daughter is there, somewhere in the sea. When Dayoon was found, her mother's reaction was recorded.
