Since April 16th, people around the world and in Korea have been showing grief for this unfortunate incident in Korea. This tragedy is becoming known widely and spreading among the people for support: sending rescue aids, volunteering to help, writing supportive messages on SNSs, holding candlelight rallies, and spreading the Yellow Ribbon campaign. Supporting this incident as well, I decided to notify this accident: what happened, what is happening, the actions among the people, and the conflicts around this disaster.

My definition of Activism: the act could be lead by a group or an individual or a country as a whole. It could doesn't always have to be shown out in the public; it could be in any form, direct, indirect, on-line, or off-line. Except violence, it could be held in any form to help, improve, support an incident and to raise awareness in the society. It doesn't always have to give a dramatic change in the world (making a big change is not always easy).

Some people might argue #prayforkorea and the Yellow Ribbon campaign doesn't help for the incident to get better. However, I think these indirect actions are also helpful and very supportive in terms of raising public awareness, spreading to people to get help, and everyone wishing for a miracle.
