On April 16, 2014, a ferry carrying 325 of the school's junior class and a dozen of its teachers capsized en route from Incheon towards Jeju resulting in many fatalities and injuries.[4]

The school was closed until April 24, when it opened only for the 75 surviving juniors; yellow ribbons were tied to the school's gate, and a shrine of flowers and hundreds of notes to the dead adorned the school's entrance.[4] A makeshift memorial was established in a nearby basketball gymnasium, with a wall of flowers and dozens of photos of the dead and missing.[4]

The school's vice principal, Kang Min-kyu, who had been rescued from the ferry, died by suicide a few days after the disaster.[5]
