Five years have passed since 19-year-old Kim died working alone at Guui Station on Seoul Subway Line 2. Had there not been an accident, it would have been our 24th birthday today (29th). A colleague Kim and the bereaved family members who had lost their children in different workplaces gathered together to commemorate Kim.
Reporter Jeong Ban-seok went to Guui Station.

Platform 9-4, Guui Station on Line 2 of the Seoul Subway.
The cake is lit in honor of Kim, who would have reached her 24th birthday today if she had not been in an accident here five years ago.
Colleagues say that Kim's death doesn't feel like someone else's.
[Lim Seon-jae/Seoul Transportation Corporation's union chairman PSD branch: I couldn't believe the fact that a colleague who said'I'll have a drink after tomorrow' died so suddenly. There was a fear of'Oh, I must have died'.] The
5th anniversary memorial was accompanied by families who lost young workers such as Kim.
The mother of late PD Hanbit Lee, who accused the poor working environment in the broadcasting industry, cried as she read the words her son left in memory of Kim at the time of the Guui Station disaster.
[Kim Hye-young / late Lee Han-bit PD Mother: I left a short letter on a post-it to him who did not even know his face today." If I don't write'today', I think I will collapse, so I wrote it down.]
The late Kim Yong-gyun's mother, who died in an industrial accident at the Taean Thermal Power Plant, raised her voice saying that we must stop the recurring deaths of young workers.
[Kim Mi-sook/late Kim Yong-gyun's mother: (Kim died) Three years later, his son Yong-gyun died terribly at Taean Thermal Power Plant. It was a predicted death that Pyeongtaek lost her life in the port accident in Pyeongtaek Port.] The
bereaved family and citizens wrote down their hopes of creating a world where Kim will never die while working again where he left.
