Memorial service for late teacher

Memorial service for late teacher

The door to Seoi Elementary School in Seoul's Seocho Ward is closed on Sept. 4, 2023, the 49th day of a female teacher's death after she died by an apparent suicide that followed alleged abuse of power at the hands of one or more parents. In South Korea, people hold a memorial service on the 49th day of a person's death, known as "sasipguje," to pray for the person's rebirth in paradise. (Yonhap)
