Each had to stop studying due to their own circumstances, but a small graduation ceremony was held for the students who passed the GED.

The older students expressed their deep gratitude to the young teachers who have helped them study while expressing their regret that they did not learn.

Reporter Chung Hyun-woo captured that.

Shy laughter blooms around the wrinkled eyes under the hat.

"Please brighten up your expression. Raise the corners of your mouth. One, two."

Because of difficult family circumstances, they had difficulties in feeding their younger siblings or in school.

Students who put pencils for their own reasons take graduation photos as they pass the GED.

[Gilyoung / Those who passed the GED (66 years old): It feels new. My father collapsed in the wind. I dropped out crying and crying because I had younger siblings to help me with my economic activities....]

It is college students and office workers who have been helping them study while attending the GED graduation ceremony.

[Cho Soo-hyun / GED School Teacher: I think it's not an easy choice for my grandson to come out every night to study. With all due respect, I'm proud of you....]

By accepting the diplomas and bouquets prepared one by one, the students expressed their regret that they had not learned properly.

[Lee Sang-soon / Those who passed the GED (aged 67)] I've always done it because they've learned everything, but I haven't. My mom is always sad, so I wonder how good it would have been to teach me....]

Families watching their wives and sons, who started studying later than others, were also in tears.

[Lee Hogi / GED school graduate mother: I'm proud of my son. I didn't do it when I was told to do it before.... But I think I did a good job studying late.]

The graduation ceremony between a young teacher and a special priest, an older student, is over.

[Students: Thank you, teacher]

[Teachers of GED: I love you.]
