The 181 people who boarded Jeju Air flight 7C2216 in Bangkok on Sunday were no different from the millions who fly on commercial aircraft every day... now, though, they will forever be associated with the worst domestic aviation disaster in the country's history.
A bereaved family member pays tribute at a joint memorial altar for the victims. The 179 people who died were aged between three and 78, although most were in their 40s, 50s and 60s.
Ko, who worked in public relations for the Kia Tigers professional baseball team, was described by friends as likeable and hard-working. He was great at his work, and the entire baseball broadcast team liked him.
The victims included nine people spanning three generations of the same family, according to the Yonhap news agency. They included the eldest, a 79-year-old man, who was returning from a holiday with his wife.
