President Yoon Suk-yeol stated on the 29th, marking the 21st anniversary of the victory in the Second Battle of Yeonpyeong, "The Republic of Korea will never forget the sacrifice and dedication of the six warriors," and added, "Let us together remember the great history of this victory."


Through Facebook on the same day, President Yoon said, "21 years ago today, our navy, faced with a surprise attack by North Korean forces, defended the NLL (Northern Limit Line) at the risk of their lives," calling it "a victorious history achieved by the late Major Yoon Young-ha and five other warriors."


He continued, "They are true heroes who completed their mission without releasing the control stick and trigger until the very last moment."



President Yoon added, "The six warriors who showed indomitable will in the Second Battle of Yeonpyeong have been reborn as the Yoon Young-ha, Han Sang-guk, Jo Cheon-hyeong, Hwang Do-hyeon, Seo Hu-won, and Park Dong-hyeok ships, and are still guarding the West Sea at this very moment."
