Hyejin, my friend..I hope you can sing as much as you want in the sky.." Lee Hye-jin (11), who returned as a buried carcass 70 days after her disappearance, was held at Myeonghak Elementary School in Anyang City, Gyeonggi-do, where she played with her friends on the morning of the 17th. The ceremony held at the playground with over 900 students gathered in the whole school began as a memorial address of Principal Yoon-hyung Lee, who had been more active than anyone else to find Hyejin. Principal Lee said, "Hyejin, whom everyone was waiting anxiously, has now returned to school to leave us forever," he said. "Our adults should try to prevent this from happening to children again." Afterwards, Hyejin's best friend, Mi-joo Jo (11), who took the lead as a student representative, began a memorial service saying, "Hyejin.. This is the last time I'm calling your name." Yang said, "The park, the classroom, and the playground where I played with you are still good in my eyes, and I still have your pictures in the classroom. Even in Esau, I sing as much as I can and be happy," she poured out tears. The families who attended the ceremony holding Hyejin's spirit were regretful for those who were crying sadly as if they were overwhelmed with sorrow as classmates' wreaths and silence continued after their best friend's remembrance. Hyejin's father, who was in work clothes and sneakers, had grown up as if he hadn't been shaved for several days, poured out the tears that Hyejin had held holding the hand of his younger brother, his second daughter. Hye Gyeong-yang, who repeatedly wailed and fainted, but kept his younger brother's criticisms until the end, said, "I want you to rest comfortably in the heavens.. Now that the culprit is caught, I hope you can go comfortably." Friends of Ye-seul Woo (9), whose life and death have not yet been confirmed, also attended the ceremony, making those who shed tears even more regretful. Ye-seul's best friend Yuji-eun (9), who was wiping her tears throughout the ceremony, asked the reporter, "Is Ye-seul alive? Isn't Hye-jin dead like her sister?" After the ceremony was over, the family picked up Yeong-jeong and stopped by the 3rd class of the 4th grade and the 3rd class of the new 5th grade, hoping to return safely to Hyejin before he disappeared. Hyejin's mother couldn't get out of the seat, grabbing the desk and saying, "Hyejin.." when her classmates put Youngjung on an empty desk where her classmates placed chrysanthemums, letters, and White Day candy. Parents and about 200 Anyang citizens attended the ceremony on this day to mourn Hyejin's last path. About 10 parents of Myunghak Elementary School held a picket demonstration in front of Youngjeong during the ceremony, saying, "So that Hyejin's death will not be in vain.. Organize a task force for missing children to prevent this from happening again." After the ceremony, Lee's body was cremated at Suwon Yeonhwajang and buried in Anyang City Cheonggye Park Cemetery.
