The search for the missing crew continues, but unfortunately, no further findings have been made.

The family is anxiously waiting for the news of the rescue without giving up a glimmer of hope.

Reporter Bae Minhyuk's report.

Soon after the Coast Guard ship enters the port, a body is transported.

Two days after the sinking of the Venus ferry, the first missing person was found.

I prayed and prayed again and again for him to be alive, but in the end, I came back as a cold dead body.

There are still missing people in the Venus Lake somewhere in the sea.

Sailors who were someone's husband, father or son.

The younger brother, who was always reliable, said he would return to the land in 10 days and put himself on the ship as usual.

When I heard the news of the accident, I thought it wouldn't be a big deal because he was a younger brother who had been on the ship safely for nearly 30 years.

[Missing family] At first, I was calm. I don't think he's dead. Since I've been on the boat for a long time. I was thinking that, but when I was actually reported missing, I thought, "Oh, my stomach turned upside down."]

Local governments and other related authorities are supporting psychological counseling for the families of missing people, but as time goes by, families' hearts burn more.

[Missing family: I'm worried about how I'll live alone in the future. My younger brother relied on me a lot and helped me a lot. I rely on my younger brother a lot, too.]

The Coast Guard said it will do everything in its power to search until the last missing person is found.

[Ko Myung-chul / Jeju Regional Maritime Police Agency Security Chief: We have expanded the search scope and are conducting a maritime search by mobilizing more than 50 civil, government, and military ships. Until we find the last missing person, our maritime police will do their best to search.]

May a miracle come true, the family still hasn't let go of the hope.
