Sailors wearing red life jackets are standing on the seashore next to Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak.
Under the cliff, rough waves soar as if hitting the seashore.
Coastal rescue ships attempt to rescue, but it is difficult to access waves over 3m.
The 6.3 ton class Seongsan ship they boarded was aground on the east side of Seongsan Ilchulbong last night (31st).
[Residents near Seongsan Port: This is the southwest wind.
(Operation) It looks like he got the wrong direction on the way in.] When the
ship was stranded, all the crew members escaped to the sea at the bottom of Seongsan Ilchulbong, 80m away from the ship.
However, with strong rain and wind blowing and fogging, rescue work was not easy.
A seascape rescue boat approached and was overturned by a wave and two crew members were fractured, and the helicopter rescue was not easy.
[Na Chang-Hyun/Jeju Regional Maritime Police Agency Aviation Corps: The cliff was slightly diagonal.
If the tip of the helicopter's rotor or wing touches rocks or such parts, the helicopter will crash and it could be a dangerous situation for the rescuer or us.

The crew were rescued by a maritime helicopter this morning, 14 hours after the accident.
It was only able to be rescued by connecting a lifting line from 15m above sea level.
One of the sailors complained of hypothermia, but none of them were known to have an impact on life.
