Minjeong Kim was born on the 13th of January, 1998. She was 16 when she died.
Minjeong lived with her parents and an older sister. She cared for them, always being down for hugs, often packing lunches for her mother, or baking a cake during their birthday. She was very caring in general. Minjeong was a part of a charity that was raising money to help African children. Her best friend was Hansol Kang from the same class. She also played the piano well, and studied hard. Minjeong dreamed of becoming a pharmacist. Everytime her mom went to the pharmacy, Minjeong would say ''I'm gonna work there one day!''
Minjeong had appeared in her mother's dreams two times after the sinking. The first time, her mother only heard Minjeong crying ''Mom! I'm alive!'' The second time Minjeong was staring at her far away. Her mother got to touch Minjeong's cheek, and she felt like Minjeong really was there, alive.
Her body was recovered and returned to her parents. She now rests at Ansan Sky Memorial Park.
