PRIME TIME NEWS 22:00 Ansan, Jindo-gun County designated as special disaster zones

Over the past few days... the government has been working on declaring the two areas affected by the accident as special disaster zones.
One is Ansan in Gyeonggi-do province, near the capital Seoul, and the other is Jindo-gun county in the southwestern province of Jeollanam-do.
Officials passed the measure today.
For details, we now go to our Laah Hyun-kyung , standing by at the news center.
Hyun-kyung.

It was around 6:40 p.m., Korea time, when those two areas officially became special disaster zones.
Jindo-gun county is where Paengmok-hang harbor is -- the harbor closest to the sunken ferry.
And Ansan is where Danwon High School is -- the high school where most of the students on the ferry were from.
The two areas will now be able to quickly receive state funds for the search-and-rescue operation.
Also, local taxes including acquisition tax will be waived.
Other general taxes will either be reduced, or the payment deadline will be postponed for up to nine months.
Financial assistance will be given to the victims and their families,... as well as to those that are still waiting for their loved ones to return.
This is the seventh time the Korean government has designated special disaster zones.
Past cases include the collapse of Sampoong department store in 1995, which resulted in 1-thousand-445 casualties.

ARIRANG NEWS 20:00 Ansan. Jindo island areas designated as special disaster zones

Thanks for joining us... as we continue our coverage of the search-and-rescue operation from a sunken ferry off Korea's southwest.
It's Sunday,... April 20th here in Seoul.
I'm Choi You-sun.

Title: Ansan. Jindo island areas designated as special disaster zones

The government has just declared the two areas affected by the accident as special disaster zones.
One is Ansan in Gyeonggi-do Province, near the capital Seoul, the other is Jindo Island in the southwestern province of Jeollanam-do.
For details, we now go to our Laah Hyun-kyung, standing by at the news center.
Hyun-kyung.

You-sun, the government has designated those two areas as special disaster zones.
Ansan is where Danwon High School is -- the high school where most of the students on the ferry were from.
And Jindo Island is where Paengmok-hang harbor is -- the harbor closest to the sunken ferry.
With the government's approval, the two areas will be able to swiftly receive state funds for the search and rescue operations.
Also, local taxes including acquisition taxes and registration taxes will be waived.
Other general taxes will either be reduced, or the payment deadline will be postponed for up to nine months.
Financial assistance to the victims and their families will be made... as well as to those that are still waiting for their loved ones to return.

This is the seventh time the Korean government has designated special disaster zones.
Past cases include the collapse of Sampoong department store in 1995, which resulted in 1-thousand-4-hundred-45 casualties.
And a major oil spill in Taean County in the country's west coast in 2007, which caused more than 7-hundred million dollars worth of financial damage.

And Hyun-kyung, earlier in the afternoon, the transcript and an audio file of what was communicated between the sinking Sewol-ho ferry and the marine traffic control center for the area have been made public.

Yes, they were released but what people are wondering is why the
crew members left the sinking ferry before the passengers on board.
Take a listen.

As you can hear, it's difficult to make out what the two sides are saying exactly.
But what is evident is that the situation sounds quite urgent.

Now, the released transcript shows that the control center first contacted the sinking ferry at 9:06 a.m. Wednesday.
They contacted each other eleven times and communicated for 31 minutes.
You can see at 9:12 a.m. the ferry was already severely tilted and the crew member who was talking to the control center already knew that the people on board were not able to move.
At around 9:25, the control center told the ferry to decide whether to order passengers to abandon the vessel, since it didn't know the situation there.
But the ferry said it was unable to make announcements because its speaker system was down by that time.
And the last time the two made contact was at 9:37 a.m.,... during which the ferry told the control tower that only the people who were able to escape to the left side of the ferry were able to leave the vessel.

Situation at Jindo Indoor Auditorium

Since the Sewol-ho ferry's sinking... families of the missing have been camping out at an indoor auditorium on Jindo island to get the latest information on the rescue efforts, first-hand.

Let's go over to our Kwon Soa... who is at the auditorium...
Soa, it must have been another rough and sleepless night for the families filled with anger, sorrow and grief...

It indeed was another restless night for the families of missing ones... as they are awaiting even a small morsel of information about their loved ones, anything other than the unbearable silence they have now...
A couple of hours ago it was very quiet in here, as most of the family members were attempting to get some rest in the auditorium, in the halls, some in their cars... but now most of them are awake.
At around 9 a.m. an official briefed them on search and rescue developments, and shortly after a video clip was played, showing the latest rescue operations.


Soa,... it must be really difficult for these families to just wait and wait... we hear that many of them have collapsed from despair... Families have been residing in the indoor auditorium... or Paengmok-hang harbor for four days now.
How are they being looked after?

Lots of helping hands have been offered so far...
on the day of the accident around 2-thousand volunteer workers arrived in Jindo-gun county to provide the families with necessary supplies.
Apart from food, water, medicine, blankets, hot packs, and other daily equipment, therapists are there to give the families comfort.
Ordinary people have also reached out a helping hand, in the form of utensils, but also money... However, welfare services say instead of money, coming over to the site would be of more help.


There has been another sad twist in this tragedy... not from the waters... this time... the vice principal of Danwon High School... the school which was on the ferry... is believed to have killed himself. This has left many in shock...

Yes, we have learned that the vice principal has left a hand-written suicide note in his wallet...
in which he wrote that it is hard to live on not knowing whether the 2-hundred students are alive or not.
The 52-year-old added that he wishes his body be cremated and thrown into the site of the accident,... and said he hopes he can be the teacher of the dead students in their afterlife.
The vice principal was found hanged from a tree on a hill behind the Jindo auditorium on Friday.
He was onboard when the ferry was sinking two days ago... and he was one of the few that were rescued.


Yes, another sad note in this tragic incident... our thoughts go out to his family as well. We appreciate it Soa.

Top 6 Most Beautiful Islands in South Korea

Top 6 Most Beautiful Islands in South Korea

Jeju
While just a ferry ride from bustling mainland South Korea, the island paradise of Jeju – one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature feels worlds away.
Canopied in thick pine forests, breathtaking rock formations, and breathtaking beaches, Jeju is a famous escape for adventurers and beach bums alike. Its most noteworthy attractions include Seongsan Illchulbong Peak, Hamdeok Beach, Halla Mountain, and Jeongbang Waterfall.

Ulleungdo
Situated 120 kilometers off the eastern coast of South Korea, Ulleungdo Island is known for its peaceful blue waves, revitalizing mountain scenery, and breathtaking sunsets. Often referred to as the “Mysterious Island,” this popular vacation destination is the major fishery of the eastern coast and draws tourists with its tantalizing seafood. It’s also a favorite spot for soaking up Korea’s natural beauty, which is best experienced on the Haengnam Coastal Walking Path, which stretches along the periphery of the island.

Hongdo
Part of Dadohaehaesang National Park, the rocky, miniscule Hongdo Island was named for the crimson (“hong”) light that encapsulates the entire island at sunset. Its shores are lined with cliffs, each possessing its own unique formation, that tower over the South Sea’s blue oceans. The island’s 6.47 square kilometers are home to approximately 270 subspecies of evergreen including rare reeds, as well as about 170 species of animals.

Geojedo
Connected to the mainland by the Busan-Geoje Fixed Link bridge and tunnel, Korea’s second-largest island is reputed not only for its colossal shipbuilding industry, but also its natural beauty. Geojedo’s coastal scenery deviates between pastoral and industrial, with the best views in and around the Haegeumgang rock formations.
Other representative attractions of the island include its grassy green hill by the sea, the “Hill of the Wind,” and Hakdong Black Pearl Mongdol Beach, a black pebble beach that comes to life in the summertime.

Oedo
Hallyeo Maritime National Park’s Oedo Island is often called the “Paradise of Korea,” and for good reason. Essentially a giant botanical garden, Oedo was established in the 1970s by Lee Chang-ho and his wife. Since then, it has been transformed into an exotic attraction of more than 3,000 plant species including many subtropical plants, such as cacti, palm trees, and gazanias. Adding to the scenery are Mediterranean-style buildings and statues, which have been used as the backdrop for a number of Korean dramas.

Jindo
Jindo, the third-largest island in Korea, is particularly famous for the Jindo dog, a gorgeous breed known for its unsurpassed loyalty and “Jindo Arirang,” Korea’s best-known folk song. But the Miracle Sea Road Festival is certainly the biggest draw of Jeollanam Province‘s most popular island. During the annual festival, which takes place for a few days during the spring, visitors can watch as the sea mysteriously “parts,” and can walk along the revealed 2.8-kilometer-long road from Jindo to nearby Modo Island. The occurrence, as magical as it seems, is actually a natural tidal phenomenon.

SNU's First Western Professor of Korean Traditional Music Hilary Finchum Sung - Family Trip to Jindo Island

Professor Hilary Finchum Sung's life changed when she first heard Korean shaman music while studying at the Indiana University in the United States where she majored in ethnomusicology.
In 2009 she became the first non-Korean professor to teach in the Department of Korean Traditional Music, Seoul National University, where she teaches world music, the theory of Korean music and ethnomusicology.
She has also been learning the haegeum for several years now in order to better understand Korean music. She chose the haegeum because she played the violin as a child, but the two-stringed Korean instrument turned out to have a completely different charm from the western instrument. After she began learning Korean traditional music, Professor Hilary Finchum Sung has had her hands full, but her family always provides her with strong support.
Last summer her entire family - her husband, daughter, twin sons and two dogs - visited Jindo Island, which is the third largest island in Korea after Jejudo and Geojedo.
Jindo cap tivated their hearts with its beautiful landscape and its residents' love of art. Join us to see how Professor Hilary Finchum Sung and her family spent their time on the beautiful island of Jindo.


서양인 최초 서울대 국악과 교수, Hilary Finchum Sung 가족의 진도 예술 기행
인생에서 잊지 못할 운명적인 순간.
힐러리 핀첨성 교수에게는 지난 1997년이 그런 순간이었다.
미국 인디아나 대학에서 음악인류학을 전공한 그녀는 1997년 한국 무속 음악을 처음 접하고 매력에 빠져들었다. 그리고 지난 2009년, 서울대학교 국악과 최초로 서양인 교수로 채용됐다.
서울대학교에서 세계 음악, 한국음악이론, 음악인류학 등을 가르치는 힐러리 핀첨 성교수. 몇 년 전부터는 한국 음악을 더욱 깊이 이해하기 위해 해금을 배우고 있다. 어려서부터 배운 바이올린 때문에 선택한 악기지만 단 두 줄로 인간의 희로애락을 표현해내는 해금은 서양 현악기와는 다른 매력이 있다.
한국전통 음악과 인연을 맺은 후로 눈코 뜰 새 없는 나날들을 보냈다는 힐러리 교수.
그녀는 언제나 묵묵히 응원을 아끼지 않는 가족들에게 고맙고도 미안한 마음이다.
그래서 지난여름, 온 가족이 함께하는 여행을 준비했다. 든든한 남편과 큰딸, 쌍둥이 아들에 특별한 인연으로 가족이 된 두 마리의 반려견까지 총출동한 가족여행.
힐러리 가족이 목적지로 정한 곳은 한국에서 제주도, 거제도 다음으로 큰 섬인 진도다.
아름다운 풍광만큼 예술이 생활 속에 녹아들어 있는 마을은 가족들에게도 특별한 추억으로 남았다고 하는데...
한국의 전통적인 정서가 생생하게 살아 숨 쉬는 섬, 진도에서 펼쳐지는 힐러리 가족의 잊지 못할 추억여행을 함께해본다.

Title: ARIRANG NEWS TITLE



Title: Sewol-ho sinks off bridge

KOREAN FERRY TRAGEDY

Title: Opening

It's 2 p.m. on a Sunday here in Korea.
Live from Seoul, I'm Moon Conn-young.
It's been 100 hours or more than four days since a nearly 7-thousand ton Sewol-ho ferry sank into waters with more than 470 people on board.
52 have been confirmed dead, so far... more than 250 remain unaccounted for.
Search and rescue operations have continued for the last four days... but with little results... as no survivors have been found since.


1. Title: Divers gain access into Sewol ferry

Rescue teams retrieved more bodies from inside the hull...overnight and early this Sunday morning.
Unfortunately,... it looks like we can expect the death toll to increase even more... in the coming hours and days...
Let's go live to our correspondent down at Paengmok-hang harbor - the focal point of the search and rescue operations.**
Li-an, no news of survivors... but more bodies have been retrieved, right?


Hi, Connyoung,... the death toll is rising at a fast pace.
Another male body was recovered at around 11:50 a.m. local time.
The man is believed to be in his early 20s,.. but we do not have any more details as of yet.
The discovery raised the confirmed death toll to 50,.. and since then two more bodies have been recovered, making the total 52 .
DNA samples are being taken from the bodies here at the harbor,.. and from here they are being directly moved to nearby hospitals.
We also had some more tragic news announced recently, that a navy sailor who was taking part in rescue operations has died.
He fell into a coma after hitting his head on Wednesday, and passed away last night in the hospital .

Tragedy on top of more tragedy. We continue to hold out hope that more survivors will be found. How ** are the rescue operations proceeding? They seem to have picked up pace.

You're right,.. a total of five guidelines, which divers can use to get to the ship have been attached to the Sewol-ho ferry.
With the new routes into the ferry secured,... the divers can all simultaneously carry out rescue operations.
The countermeasures headquarters here says they will have over 560 divers carrying out an all-out rescue and search operations today,... along with 204 vessels and 34 aircraft.
The weather is clear down here right now and the tides pretty low at just about 1 meter,... so the conditions are improving here for rescue operations.

We're all holding out hope for some good news, which has been so hard to come by in recent days here in Korea. That was our Yoo Li-an, reporting live from Paengmok-hang Harbor near the ferry disaster site.

2. Title: Korean gov't considers special disaster zones for sunken ferry sitesaster zones


In the past 24 hours, the death toll has increased drastically.
And as the search and recovery operation continues... it looks like the death toll will soon rise sharply in the hours and days to come.
There's word now that the Korean government is considering designating the ferry sinking site, and another area, as special disaster zones.
For more on this and other updates... we have Connie Lee standing by in the news center.
Connie?


Hey Conn-young. So that decision by the Korean government could come as early as this afternoon. { }
Prime Minister [Chung Hong-won] had planned to meet with related ministers today on this issue.
The potential special disaster zone sites are Jindo island and Ansan.
Jindo island... has the closest port to the area where the ferry sank...
and the city of Ansan is where [ ] Danwon High School is located--- or where most of the passengers were from.
If Jindo and Ansan become special disaster zones... then the government could provide aid to those areas, and give financial assistance to the victims of the sunken ferry--- including relatives of those still missing.


Yes that could be likely... since there are reports of people in both of those areas suffering from physicial and psychological effects.
Now, Connie... the number of bodies found is increasing by the hour it seems... as divers get further into the ship.
What can you tell us about the current rescue efforts?


Right, it was just today that divers seemed to making progress getting inside the ship...
by breaking through the windows now.
Most of the bodies, so far... according to the officials, were found on the 3rd and 4th floors... or where the CABINS are located.
And what we do know now... is that rescue teams are attemping to reach inside other areas of the ship... like the cafeteria... or places where a lot of passengers were expected to be at the moment of the incident.
That's all I have for you right now from the news center-- I'll be back in the later newscast with more updates.
