“As a parent who raises a daughter of his age, Jung-in has come to soothe his heart as well.”

On the 5th, Hong Ji-won (41), who visited the grave of Ms. Jung In (name before adoption) with her family in Wonju, Gangwon-do, said, holding her young daughter. As the’Jung In-i incident’, who died 16 months after birth due to the abuse and neglect of her adoptive parents, was re-examined, the memorial step continued to the high family Andersen Park Cemetery in Seojong-myeon, Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi on that day. It is in the heart of commemorating Jung In, who has passed away unfortunately, and hopes that such a tragedy will not occur again.

Even in cold weather, as the midday temperature stayed below freezing, more than 10 teams of memorials came to the graveyard of Jeong In-i this afternoon. Most of them were parents raising children like Jeong In-i. Shin Hyun-jin (38), who raises two children aged 4 and 2, said, “The second child is a month apart from Jeong In.” If so, I would like to say that many people are in love, and that I am sorry for coming late.” There was also a family visited by the grandmother, son, and three generations of granddaughter, and the citizens who came alone in black mourning clothes and quietly memorialized them were noticeable. Actor Lee Young-ae also visited the cemetery to commemorate Jung In-i with her husband and twin children. Standing side by side with her twin children, Mr. Lee, who was silent for a while, stole tears and expressed condolences.

Jeong In-i’s cemetery was filled with flowers, toys, and children’s drinks left behind by memorials. It was a gift brought by mourners who were angry at the fact that the only sincerity that the adoptive parents who killed Jeong In-i showed on Jeong In-i’s last path was a 3,000-won Daiso frame. Lee Soo-jin, 40, who brought home-made lunch boxes and children’s spoons for Jeong In-i, said, “When Jeong-in was alive, there seems to be no one who provided lunch or meals for her children, so I prepared them with her husband.” Lee went back to commemorate Jeong In-i’s soul with her daughter and husband born in 2019, who are the same age as Jeong In-i.

The messages left by the memorials also stood out. ‘Jeong In-ah, you must be happy in heaven’,’It is late, but we will change it’, etc. Was. A citizen who left children’s clothes, such as a thick pink winter T-shirt, at the graveyard said,’On a cold day, I want you to be warm and not cold. Instead of the clothes my sister wore, wear new clothes and be beautiful.’

The memorialists urged them to take thorough measures to prevent the recurrence of the death of a young life in the hands of parents. Lee Myung-ho (37), who visited the park cemetery with his family in Incheon, said, “The reason that Jung In was adopted by adoptive parents would have had a decisive influence on their stable jobs, such as a foster mother working as an interpreter and a stepfather working at a broadcasting station.” When you do, please thoroughly evaluate your parents’ parenting and personality, not just looking at the financial margin. Even after adoption, the adoptive family should be monitored continuously.”

In social network service (SNS), a wave of commemoration of Jeong In-i continued. As of 7 p.m. that day, there were over 76,000 posts with the hashtag “#jungin am sorry”.
