On the 26th, it will be 23 years since a Korean international student and a Japanese man died after being hit by a train while trying to help someone who had fallen off the platform at Shin-Okubo Station on the JR Yamanote Line. Those involved held a moment of silence and paid their respects.
In January 2001, Korean exchange student Lee Soo-hyun and photographer Shiro Sekine (26 at the time) were hit by a train at Shin-Okubo Station on the JR Yamanote Line while trying to help a man who had fallen off the platform. Everyone died.
On the 26th, 23 years after the accident, Lee's mother, Shin Yun-chan, and South Korean Ambassador to Japan Yun Dong-min visited the station, laid bouquets of flowers on the memorial plaque, and visited the platform where the accident took place. I offered a moment of silence.
After a moment of silence, her mother, Shin, expressed her desire to serve as a bridge between Japan and South Korea, and expressed her desire to become a bridge between Japan and Korea. I touched it.
She said, ``My heart is full as I think that the seeds that Soo-hyun left behind are growing properly.I hope that the future will be very bright.''
At the memorial service that followed, Lee Tae-sung, the Korean actor who played Lee in the movie depicting Lee's life, greeted him in Japanese and said, ``I hope that I will continue to inherit his heart of being a bridge between the two countries.'' I will do my best to do what I can. Just like the title of the movie, I will never forget you. Please rest in the sky.''
