The late Sergeant Seo Jeong-woo and the late Private Moon Kwang-wook, who were killed in the Yeonpyeong Island artillery attack on November 23, 2010,

In honor of the souls of the dead, a commemoration ceremony for the 10th anniversary of the Yeonpyeong-do bombing was held in central Daejeon Prefecture and Yeonpyeong-do.

The late Sergeant Seo Jeong-woo gave up his last vacation and died while returning to the unit for his mission.

The late Private Moon Kwang-wook, just over a month after moving in, died while preparing for battle.

As Secretary of Defense, Seo Wook, who attended the memorial service after five years, promised a strong defense posture.

The parents of the two dead were named ‘Honorary Marines’.

The mother of the late Sergeant Seo Jeong-woo said the government apologized to North Korea and stressed that it is a duty of the state.

On November 23, 2010, North Korea fired more than 170 projectiles at Yeonpyeong Island, killing two Marines and two civilians and wounding 60 people.

The two Koreas subsequently agreed to prevent accidental military clashes by converting the area around the northern boundary line of the West Sea into a peaceful zone through the military agreement of September 19, 2018.

However, North Korea fired coastal artillery fire last year and South Korean officials came under fire in September this year.

The next month, the Marine Corps decided to create a security showroom for one of the Yeonpyeong units that responded to the Yeonpyeong Artillery War and preserve it as a historical record.
