Aftermath

A good son who never caused troubles, who received scholarship and who promised his parents to set up a dental technician center to make them happy. Four years ago when the entire nation was gripped by the World Cup fever, he was shot in the whole body and lost consciousness. He was in the intensive care unit for a month before he regained consciousness but passed away. Lee Gyeong-jin, mother of soldier Park Dong-hyeok, is shedding tears and touching his bust statue on June 29 in the navy head quarters in Gyeonggi Province.
