The news shocked the whole nation. Initially, the media reported that all the passengers on board had been rescued. But it soon turned out to be false.

Of the 476 people on board, 304 were killed. Most of the victims were high school students on a school trip to Jeju. They were told to stay in their ship cabins for rescue. They followed orders, but eventually, the ship sank with them trapped inside.

Meanwhile, the captain and some crew members were evacuated while the ship was sinking.

This catastrophic tragedy has sparked widespread social and political upheaval in South Korea.
