[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol visited the funeral hall after Jeong Gyeong-ok, the wife of the late Navy Sergeant Jeong Jong-yul, a fallen soldier of the Cheonan ship, passed away after battling cancer.

On the afternoon of the 22nd, former Prosecutor General Yoon visited the funeral hall located in Incheon City and spoke with the deceased’s son Jeong, who was left alone after losing both parents, Jeong’s relatives, and former Cheonan ship captain Choi Won-il.

At this gathering, former Prosecutor General Yoon encouraged and embraced Jeong, and the meeting was held briefly for about 7 to 8 minutes considering the quarantine situation. Jeong lost his father, the late Sergeant Jeong Jong-yul, when he was six years old and is currently a first-year high school student.

Meanwhile, former Prosecutor General Yoon stated through SNS on the same day, “It is hard to even imagine how painful and difficult this time must have been,” and “I ask for your interest and encouragement for the fallen Cheonan ship heroes and their bereaved families.”
